Starlink terminal revision 4: overview and tests

I don't imagine we'll be getting the upgrade anytime soon (in Mexico, and logistically in general I don't know how an upgrade/swap would be handled).

The jitter/etc fixes look great, but we are off-grid here on limited solar power (we have to unplug the fridge every night or we won't have any battery left in the morning). So a little disappointed to see increased power consumption (glad that we would never need the snowmelt feature here).

A mobile dishy will be released sometime later this year. I imagine this version will prioritise power efficiency and size. This version should have lower power consumption at the cost of network performance.

Interesting, hadn't considered that the mobile equipment would be different. I do think the mobile service monthly charge is higher than the standard/stationary service?

I believe it ~50% higher and you have lower priority than stationary terminals. (I haven't reviewed this for a few months, though.)
