Hey guys i'm just starting to dip my toes so to say in to the FTA hobby. And was wondering if there is a good site with equipment reviews, and setup tips. I've read a few hundred posts here but it's mostly addresses changes, and was wondering where a good starting point would be. Thanks for the help!
