yes work with disconne antenna and good LMR-400 or LMR-600 Raul CE3SOC - Original Message - From: John Geiger aa...@yahoo.com To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 2010 11:46 AM Subject: [amsat-bb] TS2000 on dualband antenna (for sat work) Has anyone on the list tried using a Kenwood TS2000 on full duplex satellite operatation using a dualband VHF/UHF antenna and a diplexer?

Thanks David ! My vertical did not pick up AO51 at all, so the experiment could not be done here. Using my beams all was fine of course. Funny, I knew this stacked vertical dual band only picks up signals at low elevation (10 degrees), at many cubesats (70cm) and ISS (2 mtrs). But I never experienced only very noisy signals like this morning from AO51. Nothing wrong with AO51, maybe with my vertical. Anyway - was a good trigger to be on AO51 again, made 1 QSO and listened to many other European stations making contacts. The antenna set-up: http://www.pa3guo.com/ant_jun_2008.jpg 73, Henk, PA3GUO It works fine. Used a TS2000E via a MX2000 tri-plexer to a co-linear both u/v and v/u with no problems. Worked the States and Canada this way via F0-29. Also used a Create CLP5130 log periodic connected in the same way. Just keep the TX power as low as is needed to hear your own signal and no more.

There's probably less desence than using two antennas without diplexers/filters. On 09-Jun-10 19:36, PA3GUO wrote: Hi John Let me try tomorrow and report back, I have never tested this.
