Building a new receiver, this is going in a prime location - Suggestions for receiver/preamp/filter please

Bit of a bump but this is finally nearly built and should be going live in the next week or so. I have to say that I’m rather looking forward to it. Sadly it’s going to be behind a CGNAT so I won’t be able to directly share the web interface but I’m looking into a way to take a screen grab of the Skyview map every few minutes and push it to a web site for anyone to look at if they’re interested.

Here’s the work in progress - We won’t be going PoE but running a voltage up to it with a dedicated PSU in the box driving the Pi 3B+ with a feed to the preamp. I’m happier doing this than powering it through the AirSpy as when I did that before, the preamp stopped working after a while.

This build is very similar to the one on my ham radio mast at the moment so I know it’s a decent design that works well and can stand up to the weather.
