But what about antennas like the M2 ants where it's a balanced feed, and
there is no + side of the element or coax?

Again if price is no object, you should be able to do it with a K3 from
Elecraft (using the sub receive and their transverters).

The Kenwood TS-2000 and 2000X are still out there. They have an annoying
birdie right smack dab on the downlink of SO-50 and AO-27 but both of
those are FM sats. You can work around the birdie with a preamp but the
pass time is shortened a bit because you are waiting for the receive
frequency

I was waiting till a proper orbit of AO-7 for reply to it. Today ( AO-7 .077

did not notice any deviation in the uplink or modulation of the AO-7. The signs
were good between 5/5 and 5/7. However I c
In march they set up the radios in the antenna structure at the feed;
now probably have some feedline loss since relocating to a more
amenable operating room. I cannot watch the TV stream since
something has turned off my active-X on this computer.

I went home for a "lunch break" and was able to copy them on CW (but
not SSB) with the following:
M2 440-18 (an 11' vertical/linear antenna that claims 14.5 dBd)
ARR MSP432VDG-160 preamp (claims 0.55 dB NF)
TS-2000X radio, CW mode, filter width betwen 600Hz and 200Hz
It wasn't arm-chair copy, but
Nill copy till the last 10 min barely out of the noise. The west coast seemed

Plese look at the two last drawing of the SV1BSX page:

both the clockwice CW or RHCP polarization as well for the counterclockwise

Alan,
Are you saying try a different CP? If you are linear it should not
matter what orientation you chose (that is assuming Arecibo is
CP). I am not ready with the dish so I quickly tried with my M2
11-element yagi (fixed on horizon) into 0.5 dB GasFet Preamp (Moon
was 14-deg elevation). N

Also hearing them. Be certain, if you can, to try different polarity. It

I'm surprised as I have just a single yagi, and apparently their amp isn't

I recall running in circles years ago trying to figure out why two tracking
programs
didn't agree. Turned out it had to do with a daylight savings time flag that was
(or was not) set correctly. Not sure if this is possible with SATPC32, but just
thought I'd throw it out there for consumption.
