Hi Iain, Great question - the answer is probably yes! It is expected that the UKube-1 team will apply to IARU for a change in the FUNcube-2 transponder downlink to 145.930-145.950 MHz with the Telemetry on 145.925MHz but an "official" proposal has not yet been sent/received. Good luck with

I bet they are still working on the packaging for the duplexer so that the backpack you'll take with you to carry VHF and UHF cans will have space for food and water you'll need about every 100 yards while you're walking with your "portable" radio. Gregg W5GGW On 5/2/2012 8:59 AM, Andrew Glas
