Yeha... A V/A transponder on the ISS would be a success... ;-)
I confess: I like V/A (2m/10m) because I do not have UHF radios... BTW: Why is the U/V the choice of almost any sat launched this days...? Why not V/U or V/A? 73 de CO7WT El 30/05/13 00:17, Bob- W7LRD escribió:
if there were a "real" ham on the ISS things would be different. 73 Bob W7LRD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From: *"Ing.

There is no provision or equipment for the job on board. There is a FM repeater in U/V mode, but last time on for it back a years from now (2008?) That time I read in some place of the internet that the FM repeater was a power hungry device onboard, and that's why it was turned off... They do not want to listen, or no body said to them that just turning the TX Power Down will fix this... or kind of... I think the repeater function involved the Kenwood radio that now has a malfunction... so... there is no hope for now... My 5 cents... 73 de CO7WT El 29/05/13 21:03, K5VOU escribió: > Just thinkin' > Tom K5VOU > > > _______________________________________________ > Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
