My unique StarLink mobile install- Watch before you buy!

In this video I discuss a few options on how to mount a StarLink Satellite dish on my Jeep and ultimately the option that I chose.
I briefly interview Brandon Walsh, the owner of Star-Mount Systems, a company that has developed several mounts and modifications for the StarLink series of satellite dishes that allow for several different mounting options on your vehicles.
The video includes a demonstration of what is involved in removing the rear of the dish and installing it in one of the Star-Mount System panels.
This video is not sponsored by Star Mount Systems and I purchased the mount myself.
If you decide to do this modification on your own dish, please know that it will void your warranty.

This modification is also a great advantage when I participate in my Ham Radio Parks On The Air POTA activity. DE. WW9I

Yes the StarMount system is very cost effective and if you look through their site they have a quick release bracket as well, which allows you to remove the dish with just two thumb screws in the event you need to move it to an unobstructed area when parked under some trees or something. I have that mount and will be doing a video on it soon.

What he called a big magnet is actually a ferrite ring that keeps radio frequencies from traveling up the wire. You actually do need that specially with the different radio frequencies coming from an automobile

[@jeepNtreetop]

I caught that in the description when Brandon was removing it. As a amateur radio operator I am plenty familiar with ferrite rings since we use them all the time. In this application I am guessing that it was intended to prevent RF noise when the motors are engaged, but since we removed the motors and potentially the source of the RF interference, the core is no longer needed.

[@jmoss99]

Same here in WA6 land. I saw that. It never hurts to have lots of ferrite filters. That is a RF PC board connecting to the car power supply.

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing. How does this product solve for the need of the dish tilting? I didnt get a clear answer on that from the video.

[@jeepNtreetop]

The dish is a phased array and doesn’t actually NEED to be tilted but they say you may see a 10% reduction in speed. In a vast majority of cases that is negligible.

[@michaelmeier5619]

Nice video, thank you! ... My experience is that the Starlink proprietary STX connectors might not be as waterproof as many hope. In my case, about 3 weeks after I flat mounted my Dishy in the Starmount flat mount low profile, my system stopped working after a night with heavy rain. I then replaced the STX connectors with a waterproof RJ-45 coupler, which brought the system back to life. Thus my suggestion would be to consider a mount with a truely waterproof connector/coupler from a very beginning. Starmount's "all in one" model for example seemingly has such a connector.

[@jeepNtreetop]

So you cut the Starlink connector off and exited the Star-Mount with a pigtail? In my case I filled the two little holes at the top of the Starlink connector with dielectric grease and then ran a piece of heat shrink over the top. So far it has been working well, going on almost a year.

[@michaelmeier5619]

​@@jeepNtreetop At the moment my situation is still improvised as I have not found a waterproof RJ-45 coupler that can be easily diretcly mounted to the low profile Starmount. So at the moment I have the white dishy internal ethernet cable exit the Starmount through the hole and temporarily sealed the hole with the cable inside it. Yes, STX connectors were cut off and RJ-5 connectors crimped on, now inside a waterproof Rj-45 coupler. Can send a photo if of interest ...

[@alexandersprout7992]

Thanks for the video. Drove down to San Diego to have Brandon cut up & install the Starlink dishy Mac Flat Face. How’d you route the wires? Did you do a permanent install or configurable to remove wire/cable in case you need to move the dish to get a clear view of the sky? Trying to figure out wiring onto the roof without having to buy another cable on my overlanding truck rig.

[@jeepNtreetop]

Thanks Alex, Brandon is a cool dude, isn’t he? in the video I simply routed the cable through the door seal (in the Jeep it’s real easy). I did however find and bought bulkhead connectors that pass the shield through the cable and will be showing those in my next video. I’ll have to cut the cable to install them. But for now I’m just running the cable through the door. Brandon sells a quick release mount that I have so my dish will be mounted semipermanently in that mount on the back of my rig with a short cable going into the Jeep and 12v router. Then if needed, I can snap the dish off the mount, add an extension cable, and place it in an unobtrusive location.

[@DC-ul3wq]

[@HighCountryRambler]

That's a workable solution but where I take my 4X4 RV the dish would be broken off the mounting brackets after 250 miles of rocky dirt roads. I chose to get the click-in bracket (Amazon) on the end of the 3ft pole I mounted permanently on my RV ladder. Need internet, slide the dish out of the outside storage cabinet, click into the end of the pole and plug into the permanently mounted SL cable. Since SL requires nearly 100% line of sight I ordered another extra long SL cable if my rig doesn't have line of sight I throw it on the ground and set the dish 75ft away from the rig in clear line of sight. Better than moving the rig depending where I'm camping.

[@jeepNtreetop]

Tim, that is certainly a workable solution that you describe. I have another quick release bracket in the works and will be mounting it in the back on my Jeep. This way if I need to place the dish away from the Jeep, I just need to pop it out and place it where it has a clear view of the sky.

[@Seqhael]

That mount looks pretty water tight, the original dish has ventilation holes, are you concerned with the lack of ventilation within the housing?

With the dish on the hood like that have you ever been concerned about heat damage to the dish? Would the roof have been an alternative for this type of installation?

[@jeepNtreetop]

No concern for heat because of all the air flow around the dish. The roof was not an option for me because it is completely covered with solar panels, otherwise it would be the best location. However I do have a new quick disconnect mount that I will be installing on my rear cargo rack that I will show you guys in my next video along with my diy 12v router.

[@Helix_Nova]

The dish is loose in the setup with the plastic "tub". It would be good to have something to fixate the dish inside the "tub". Otherwise, vibrations will kill it i guess

[@jeepNtreetop]

The dish is press fit in the enclosure and is a very tight fit. The lid holds it down as and makes it water and airtight. So far there has not been an issue with the hundreds of units out in the field, including the one that is mounted to the designer’s Baja 500 race car. If his unit can survive the torture of Baja race, I figure it can withstand anything I’ll ever put mine through.

[@kenwhite2889]

Is this the standard Starlink Dish, or the RV model? Quite a difference in the price of equipment and monthly service.

Great video. How do you deal with “alignment” with the satellite while in motion? My Starlink dish is mounted on my back deck and has to be perfectly positioned for a full signal. I don’t understand how it works mobile!

The dish uses a Phased array so it just needs to be pointed straight up with a clear view of the sky with zero obstructions. It doesn’t have to be “pointed” at the satellites.

[@floydhann4196]

[@eloite]

Two questions: 1. Does Starlink dishes need to face the satellites all the time? With the dish fixed on the hood, it won't be able to move to face the satellites. 2. I heard that Starlink RV version is portable but not mobile. Will it work while driving down the road?

[@jeepNtreetop]

The dish works perfectly fine pointing straight up at the sky. The Starlink dish uses a phased array system to “point” at the satellites. And I subscribe to the RV service and it works while I am driving down the road. The dish itself has a gps receiver internally so it is programmed to turn off at above 80mph which is not an issue for most RVs

First, learn how to spell before you criticize others. Apparently you have no clue, that ferrite is to shield noise while the motors are in motion and since we removed the motors, the ferrite is then therefore no longer needed. We have thousands of units in the field with these ferrites removed.
