Completed in April 2007, the Small Radio Telescope (SRT) uses a 2.3m diameter dish driven by an altitude/azimuth computer control drive system with an FFT based radio spectrometer receiver operating between 1370 - 1800 MHz to make various radio astronomy observations including the 21 cm (1420 MHz) spin flip line of atomic hydrogen. The receiver uses digital technology with a 8-bit analogue to digital down converter, digital signal processor (DSP) and is controlled remotely using a STAMP microprocessor and RS-232 communications. The SRT is fully internet remote controlled via a high speed satellite broadband connection.

The equipment is located at The Grove Creek Observatory, 60 kilometerss south of Bathurst, NSW in an electrically quiet rural area, 5 kilometers from the nearest village (Trunkey Creek, pop 75).
