A portable, self-contained satellite transceiver is employed for establishing a communications link between a connected appliance and a satellite, the satellite including polarized transmit and receive antennas. The transceiver comprises a base unit, including a generally planer upper surface and a direction indicator to facilitate orientation of the base unit along a selected azimuth for communication with the satellite. A generally plate-like antenna support member is pivotally connected to one end of the base unit housing so that the antenna support member is pivotable between a first or transport position and a second position at a selected angle to establish elevational alignment with the satellite. An antenna housing contains polarized, transmit and receive antennas suitable for communicating with the satellite. The antenna housing is rotatable with respect to the antenna support member to a selected angle for aligning the polarization of the antennas with the polarization of the satellite antennas. |
