Hmm this appears to be an alt-az mount. If they made a future version as an equitorial mount it would be even better for radioastronamy, and if it's strong enough astrophotography too. They're a lot more complicated though so it's understandable why they didn't go that route.

Especially if this is meant more for geostationary satellites and I'm guessing most satellites like NOAA aren't too bothered by the slightly rougher tracking. Plus I guess the passes are fairly short anyway...
