At last I have started gathering the parts for the QO-100 station that I have been wanting for a few years now. I was given the dish and LNB mount by one of our club members, thank you Tony (G7FSD), and cleaned it up with a quick coat of white car spray primer – could do with a second coat to be sure and make it look pretty. It is a steerable dish with all the controllers, but as I will not be needing to move it due to the satellite being a geo-stationary one, these bits will be
redundant.
After a bit of research I started on the route of using a 70cm transceiver with a transverter for the uplink, and the DX Patrol LNB and receiver for the downlink with the RSP 1A SDR receiver I have here in the shack. But I quickly changed my thought process after joining the QO-100 group on Facebook and asking a couple of questions. I decided on the path the same as 
David Trewren (G7IYK) and his YouTube channel videos.
A Pluto + SDR from Ali-Express, SG Labs amplifier, and almost all other bits off eBay or websites selling them. Total outlay should come in under £500.00 – though I am still looking for the helical antenna and cone which may just be a homebrew one if I can find someone to print some 3D parts for me.
I will keep you informed as the bits go together and arrive.
