Hi Peter. If you don't have computer control, always tune the higher frequency. Ie the one with the most doppler. For ao73 keep the rx fixed and adjust the uplink as the doppler changes. 73 Dave g4dpz On 30 Dec 2013 23:39, "Peter Wilson" wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > I have just tried working t

Thanks John, I also worked AC0RA and EA4CYQ on that pass. Wyatt and I finally connected after a few trys, and some improvising on my end. For some reason I was QRMing my 817 while uplinking with the 857. Luckily I had packed the Arrow diplexer and a BNC barrel and was able to use it as a low p

Hi all, I have just tried working through AO73, with limited success. I need some very basic help with satellite operation. I have an IC-9100, I set the uplink and downlink to mid-range (435.140Mhz and 145.960Mhz), then call CQ until I hear my own signal which has worked every time, the
