Dear friends, I agree with the 100W power requirement I completely agree with WF1F about not including the 28Mhz.
I was wondering what about an SDR approach. Until now I just saw hf SDR radios but if it would be possible to use SDR technology most of the requirements would be satisfied and, quite sure, with lower costs and giving us the chance to customize much more easily such features. An SDR approach would also give to not major hamradio companies a chance to be more competitive on the market = more chances to get from them what we want Regards Fabio IZ1EGT / F5VKV On Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 9:12 PM, MM <ka1...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi John, > > My concern with adding 10 meters to a competition class VHF/UHF high end > satellite rig, is that the rig will turn into another mediocre HF rig with > VHF/UHF added on. > > If we do start building Mode-A satellites in the future, then we can > always use Two radios, a dedicated HF and a High performance Sat rig. > > The primary goal is to have the engineers put all the money into a kick but > 6/2/440 transceiver. > > Thank you very much for your comments. > > WF1F > > > --- On Mon, 3/1/10, John Geiger <aa...@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > From: John Geiger <aa...@yahoo.com> > > Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Wish List, The Ideal VHF/UHF Sat Rig > > To: "Mark L.
