As far as I know, the LEOpack is available from M2 direct, and AMSAT, only.
AMSAT offers a discount over the M2 price, as well as free shipping, for

Further info on my Glen Martin roof top tower.....I too used a
non-penetrating mounting system. My setup was made of 2 x 10 x 8' long
rectangles which were hinged together at the peak of the roof. The legs of
the GM tower were bolted to the boards at the top of the rectangles. I
didn't have wind concerns and was sheltered by trees so I didn't use any
weights on the boards. This was in Fairbanks, AK about 10 years ago.
I wish i had a pic but I don't. It worked well with my in-progress Yaesu
G-5500 rotator and 2M, 70cm, and 23 cm satellite antennas.

I just got an RSP1A myself a few days ago and set it up with CAT control.
SatPC32 orchestrates the Doppler corrections and provides QSY data to HDSDR
via a virtual COM port pair provided by com0com. The instructions
in?http://www.dk1tb.de/FAQ_e.htm#SDR_Radios?are intended for interfacing
HDSDR with SatPC32, but the instructions for the SatPC32 side of the
interface should also be applicable to other SDR programs.?That FAQ provides
the info you'd need to set up CAT control of the VFO through SatPC32. The
downlink receiver in SatPC32 needs to be defined as Radio 1, emulating the
Kenwood TS-2000.?You'll also need a means to set up virtual COM port pairs,
e.g., using either com0com or VSP Manager by K5FR, as explained in that FAQ.
By faithfully following the instructions in that FAQ I referenced above,
I've gotten this setup to work for CAT control of Doppler in several
satellite passes. I'm using a Yaesu FT-857D for the uplink, and it appears
to be reverse-tracking properly.?
Unfortunately, in my limited testing so far, I've found the RSP1A to be
substantially less sensitive than the KX3 or even the FT-857D in hearing
satellite downlinks. Subjectively, I seem to be at least 2 S-units down in
S/N compared to the KX3, maybe 1 S-unit down compared to the FT-857D. I can
hear the CW beacon just above the noise, but not well enough to copy it,
much less make out voices in SSB or FM. I also seem to be picking up a lot
more intermod or other interference with the RSP1A:? earsplitting birdies
within the passband that are not audible on the other radios when switching
back and forth. So far, my reception on the RSP1A isn't nearly good enough
to work stations that I could work if I used the KX3 or even the FT-857D for
the downlink. May have to try the FT-818 next; unlike the KX3, it should
be?controllable by SatPC32, at least after I acquire another CAT cable to
connect the radio.?
I've only had the RSP1A since Friday, and it's my first SDR, so I still have
a lot to learn about the features that can be exploited with the SDR
software. I haven't tried SDRUno or any other SDR applications yet, and will
keep playing around with filters and other settings to see if I can improve
my reception.?
Hope that helps.?

Thanks, Jeff.
Yes, all the cables are bundled together and angle down the roof towards
one corner. From there they just drop down and loop back up to a window
near the radios & rotator controller.
Another thing that works well for me with such a generic platform with so
many horizontal & vertical mounting surfaces is that it's very easy to
attach accessories as-needed. For instance, I house the S-Band
downconverter in an outdoor electrical box that already had knock-outs in
the bottom (used for LMR-400 in this case), a weather-resistant door, and
holes for mounting. If I need a place to temporarily attach something
experimental, it's never a problem.

Some time ago, when I was in this situation, I put one of the Glen Martin
roof top towers on the floor of my attic and had a roofing company put a
roof jack in the roof just above the tower. I mounted the azimuth part of a
Yaesu 5400 rotor on the shelf of the tower, ran the mast up through the
thrust bearing and out through the roof jack, and put the elevation part of
the rotor near the top of the mast. The mast was long enough so the antennas
cleared the roof sufficiently. Around the mast just above the roof jack I
placed an upside-down funnel-like shape of metal to divert any rain water
away from the roof jack.

I actually am in the process of building a station with the same M2
LEO Pack and G-5500. It's a popular combo. I ordered this 5 foot
tripod:
https://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=sky6030
A lot of people use tripods like these for a simple satellite setup
like we're talking about here.
You'll also need these sealant pitch pads to go between the feet and
the roof to keep water out:
https://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=ezp10
Ideally you want to NOT use the screws that come with the pitch pad
and instead use bolts and nuts to go all the way through the roof. On
the attic side attach plywood that the bolts and nuts will secure too.
Someone said you can use the screws provided they go into the roof
support beams but I'd prefer the bolts.
I was told to get a sturdy mast of these specs and this is what I ordered:
5 foot 1.75? outside diameter and 0.25? wall thickness aluminum tube
https://www.penningerradio.com/detail.asp?id=414&cc=
I am documenting the process I'm taking to build this station on my
YouTube channel. Here is my first video on the process:

FYI...this gable end mount, with a proper sized mast, will be more secure
than any tripod and there is no need to puncture the roof/shingle membrane
or seal. The metal is very robust. Bolted though the fascia board is much
stronger than wood screws into your roof sheathing (and does not leak)
