@PawelK @h4890 @useless_idiot The Lora is just used to transmit some basic XYZ information to the computer. It is only to get the 2.4Ghz antennas close enough. They can auto align this way.

The dishes were used to receive information from satellites so that is going to make it difficult to get them aligned correctly. If you've ever shot a battle rifle or hunting rifle, you probably know how far it can be effective up to. Mental math reveals a large discrepancy if using iron sights.

Imagine that beam is a bullet and one has to hit a bullet sized target up to 20Km away. That's not a job for humans to do by hand.

The range and how it achieves it is impressive but nearly everything else is just infuriating. The wind blew and it isn't aligned anymore. Did it rain and the soil has changed density? It's not aligned anymore. There are many problems and it wouldn't be fair to recommend it without saying how problematic it will be.
