OK, this is funny. But, I honestly didn’t know that there are going to be so many Starlink satellites that you wouldn’t need a gimbled receiver on a mobile application. That’s pretty amazing.

We have a KVH system for our boat. The capital cost is steep and the monthly service is even steeper. If Starlink will be a reasonable alternative, that would be great.

Last I checked they weren't offering mobile services, but I believe it's coming.

Phased array of small antenna can be effectively steered by signal processing, based on time intervals between array elements.
