Starlink

Im thinking about getting starlink, but was wondering if i can just put the whole thing on my dash instead of having to set it up outside my truck every night.

 

It needs more degrees of access to the open sky than your dash will provide
It has to go outside

 

Appreciate the quick answer, ill have to think of something then. Im a company driver so idk if the company would be happy with a permanent mount.

 

I’m going to buy the set up just to have in case our gooberment gets stupid(er)

 

Looking at mounting this to my Company Truck similar to what you have it, I think. We have a mounting bracket behind the cab for a Satellite Dish so I’m assuming it can be mounted there with a riser to get it flush with the top of the cab for max exposer and yet protect it from tree limbs.

How has your setup been working?

 

How is the service? Do you experience outages or poor service at times if you park next to a tree or something like a building that might partially block the view of the sky? I’ve been in some Rest Areas that are dense with trees.

I run the Midwest and Southeast a lot and the StarLink map made it look like there is slower service in the eastern US.

I’m looking at switching from using an iPhone & iPad both with cellular and a stand alone hotspot. Looking at dropping a few of those monthly fees for Starlink.

 

Does anyone have ideas what would best way to set up the dish. I'm thinking about getting star link my company's truck t680s doesn't have load locks so idk what would be a good solution
