Why don't you just steal the pics and copy/paste what was said.
I applied to that group again and still crickets.
Not your fault, but that **** p**** me off. Even FB users (the weakest minds in social media) can't gain access due to slacker mods/admins.
What a lame excuse for a group...
Dunno. It's a barrier island off the coast from the King ranch. You don't hit many towers down there unless they are inland along I77 corridor. It's not a populated area. Data drops out on my phone just about right at the "4x4 Vehicles Only Beyond This Point" sign (about five miles past where...
A couple things of note about that video (unrelated to Starlink):
1) It's the Gulf of Mexico, not "the ocean" ;p
2) It's almost always windy here (especially during the day) with very few exceptions (especially in the Spring/Fall). Late Summer is the calmest
3) In several of the edited shots...
Here's a review of the Starlink RV (not the In Motion) actually done down PINS (Padre Island National Seashore). Keep in mind he's not really further than the typical tourist ventures (he still has cel service, about another 5 miles and he wouldn't). There's some 60 miles (each way) of...

I do keep a handheld HAM programmed to the ranger's repeater just for emergencies, but that's about the only contact down there.
I'm personally not interested in "in motion". I'm only into it for the Internet connection (gotta pay the bills by uploading that porn). I also like that Starlink can be subscribed to for only the months you are traveling and shut off when not.
I have been considering mounting the standard Starlink RV portable unit into a box and have it on actuators to lift out of an enclosure.
I canned the idea as a waste of space and just more moving parts to break.
New piece of hardware from Starlink.
"The Flat High Performance Starlink is now available for in-motion use with the Starlink RV service plan."
The price jumps to $2600 (vs $600 for the portable unit).
Personally, I have zero interest in "in motion" use but this is the first unit that can be...
