No-Rotator ground station uses a static antenna usually in VHF.
A Turnstile antenna that tunes at ~137MHz is used for NOAA satellites.
Some Turnstile antenna design, are wide enough to receive VHF band at 144 - 146 MHz.
For more vertical satellite passes, UHF Helical antennas receive satellites at 432 - 438 MHz,

{{Message| Same setup could be used for a ground station with rotator.}}
