Anyone in N. America up early for AO-7 Mode B try? On the next pass starting about 0925Z, my footprint will extend deep into N. America, Minnesota to the west and Georgia to the south. Look for me on the top portion of the passband, 145.959 or so. Signals were very strong on the last pass, an

Hi Bill, I use this exact same setup. I originally bought the preamp for mobile use, but I have enjoyed using it for the Arrow as well. I carry it in a camera bad (that fits it perfect) on my waist powered by 8AA batteries inside thee pack. How did you mount yours? I don't use a tripod, but

I've been able to fit up a pre-amp to my Arrow. I have a ARR 432 switched pre-amp with it's own battery pack on the 432-side of the arrow to hear better on low (<10 deg) passes. Still using the FT-530 HT with a headset. There were two low Atlantic passes this morning, one each on AO-27 and AO-5

The Stand-alone version (AOS205?). I had this running in XP, but my new work laptop has Win7 64 bit. I have Nova, and can use the scripting function to generate the same thing, but I liked this little program. The error messages I get do indicate it is a "64 bit" issue (but despite setting compa

Thanks, for the help. Seems most of my concerns were centered around a typo!!! ICOM IC-910 manual (@2000) says CAT code for FM is 04 when in fact it is 05 as in all the other ICOMS I could research!! All indications are the pair or IC-7000’s will work just fine and a lot less expensive than the

I can give you MA and possibly RI or NH with some planning on the FM birds (you didn't say which bird). Since I read via the bb archive, you'll need to send me your call or an email address, 'cause I have no idea where you are. :-) I have been active hand-held (FN42) on AO-27 and AO-51 the past f

1. I have one, but have never used it. If I am reading the satellite guide correctly, the only current bird I can use one on (mode B, 435MHz -- not 432) is VO-52. Is that correct? Or is the TX-RX completely wrong? (RX+TX=581.005) 2. I have read that the 2510 (newer version) was much easier to use
