I first mounted the antenna on a ball head tripod to get the azimuth, elevation, tilt and electronics working. I am using a Smartee SDR and SAWbird+GOES with a parabolic antenna mounted directly (in a PVC tube attached to the mast) and connected to my rPI4 with a 15ft USB-3 cable. I usually get <350 vit with no drops. I used this setup for the GOES-17 as well, but on our trees I mainly use the antenna for the GOES-16. Be patient with the alignment, it's a bit forgiving but should be close.
