I did not mean for my sarcasim to be insulting, I gather they must go hand in hand, my opologies... So I did find a hombrew 2-meter all band in the 1999 QST, Sept,Oct,Nov... called the DSP-10. A little more than I was looking for and I think it was discontinued. Several hundred were sold.

ARRISat Its too bad this is a SSB sat. I suppose it will be great for those who have SSB capability, less traffic and all. I guess I have to spend more money. Sigh Kevin KF7MYK _

Ahem, as they're being discussed, I've a DBA-270 that seems to have lost the VHF side of the pre-amp (when I switch on the Pre-amp, signals drop on VHF, fine on UHF). I've never had a reason to open one, so I was wondering if its likely that I'll be able to replace the device myself? Regards

Hi Everyone, Just set up my station and started to receive all the main satellites, using a Gulf satellite antenna (2M + 70cm) + SSB 70cm Preamp and FT736R When I transmit on 2M, especially FM, it's as if the preamp is squelching - the receive signal reduces significantly. If I turn the preamp

I am new to the satellites.  Got to where I can hear my downlink if the bird is higher than 15 degrees.  My question is about handling the doppler shift. If you do not have a sat program automatically correcting you rig frequency, what is the most common or preffered technique?  1 - Hold the TX
