Thanks Allen,
my unit is not really a new unit that does not run, it is a homebrewed unit on
a what we call "1000 fori" board (a board with holes that you have to wire).
Today I changed Xtal with a 4.433 and tried the in circuit programming
(picprog procedure).
Finally, when I understood

1) If ham's left AMSAT because of AO-40 failure we cannot do anything
about that. That was their choice. We need to be thankful for the

There can be no arguement that you both are right, the question is, what

The engine used in AO-40 was the same model used in all previous P3 series

AO-40's size was determined by the space donated by the ESA.
If the AMSAT-DL Mars mission is a fantasy then P3 may never fly as its
launch is to be funded by that mission.

As far as I am aware, the current firmware in the K3 does not allow
full duplex. If it did, you would still have to buy the KRX3
subreceiver at $600 and probably find transverters for 144 MHz ansd
432 MHz that do not share the same IF. As far as satellite operation
goes, the K3 is not quite
The Flex 5000 will have a V/U full duplex, etc. module available in the
late fall. WD0ACD will be talking details at AMSAT-NA annual meeting in
Baltimore.
Both of these rigs, K3 and Flex 5000 with their independent high
performance IF's will be very suitable for the job.

I believe the K-3 sub receiver does full duplex on HF as long as you use
different antenna ports. Sounds like a great solution to me. One would
think you could do that with the transverters, and have a full duplex
