Several years ago, due to corroded pins, I contacted Yaesu for a replacement (the male side). I decided while at it I would get a spare female. The price they quoted before shipping was $100 Plus I hard wired it!! Used same fix for the on off switch on the control box! K8TL

Has anyone used a preamplifier in a portable setup based on an Arrow cross yagi? Concern is whether there is enough isolation on 70 cm input from the 2m harmonics. ARR. Told me they would not recommend this setup. What you all think? Thanks, Tom, N5HYP -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9

2012-01-25 Thread Tom Schuessler
hope to be able to work you as K2BSA/5. There is a point mid pass where the two birds will be pretty close together. One benefit is that SO-50 runs 5-10KC lower than published so that also might help depending on where the dopler shift is at the time. Thanks, 73 Tom, N5HYP -Original Message

with higher gain fixed stations may be able to differentiate each satellite for uplink and downlink but us little portable guys may not. Any experiences that those of you veterans can pass along on dealing with this type of situation will be appreciated. 73 Tom Schuessler N5HYP On Feb 11th, K2BSA
