I too am a beginner and wondered about how to calculate doppler and/or determine a rough estimation based on pass information (elevation/az, etc.). I tend to start about 10 kHz up on any given pass which seems to be a reasonable approximation for most of the birds so far (I started this way because I followed the AO-27 FAQ). My biggest challenge is finding the signal while adjusting for doppler. Once I get it though, I'm good for the rest of the pass! :-) -aps _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
