Hello All,
I'm a bit confused over RS-38 or RS-28. I heard the CW beacon on
435.265 as found by Mike Rupprecht, but did not decode it at the time.
Are we looking at two different satellites?
A previous report suggested 435.365 and Andy Thomas' report had 435.440
and 435.490. Would these be o
I am looking for a simple tracking display for my sat_status site
Ideas ?
I see a few but they are surrounded by goobly goop

Folks,
I think you are focusing only on transmitting loss and have
overlooked the impact that loss has on noise figure. If your HT has
a low NF (doubtful) adding 3-dB loss in Rx will raise the NF 3-dB
higher. The actual loss of sensitivity could be more than that.

I've had my battles with desense. Originally I was going in the direction that
the RX antenna was in the envelope of the TX. It made sense and some elmers
suggested it. Even at low power (5-10W) and separating antennas by 30 ft it
would still de-sense, but not as pronounced (omnidirectional ant

Just like my other post about operating as a Novice in the days of only

No problem. Actually, I wouldn't call it research as much as curiosity.
Maybe the research will come later when developing something better. :) I

I have an FT-897D, 13 element 2 meter yagi and a 11 element 432 yagi.
I can also effectively use the 2 meter yagi on 432.. Matches well

Yes, it is larger than the OEM supplied by Arrow, however, the loss is
considerably less. I'll trade that any day! :) I connected it directly to
the radio's input using a double male adaptor, male N connector to male
PL-259. No coax between the radio and diplexer.

Hi Joe and all,
I doubt if the Arrow diplexer has 20dB of loss. If it did, we'd never
receive a signal! :)
I believe somebody here on the -bb will be performing a test on the Arrow
diplexer using a vector/network analyzer. It will be interesting to say the
least. There were preliminary rep
