That thing is a dead end running a five year old extremely low end processor. Obviously N3FJP will run fine, but that’s about all it’ll be tolerable for. The new Samsung Galaxy Book Go is probably the best choice for a reasonably low cost and highly power efficient Windows 10 laptop ($349 and

Re: [Elecraft] Why some satellites reverse the sidebands

2018-09-03 Thread Paul Stoetzer
Though there may be technical reasons behind it, the biggest reason is practical. If you don't invert the sidebands, the total Doppler shift is the sum of the shift on two bands. For a satellite in a standard LEO orbit with an uplink at 2 meters and downlink at 70 cm, the total Doppler shift is

Remember that Congress has completely rejected the President's budget and has generally set funding levels far higher than requested, especially for agencies involved in science and research, like NIST. In this case, the House and Senate appropriations bills have funding levels for this account

"Oh yeah, it will not do CW and SSB (only FM), but most of the LEO satellites are FM, so it would work for most all the satellite communications work available today. That radio provided satellite credit at out last local club's Field Day." This is incorrect. There are currently 4 active FM

VHF/UHF SSB rigs are not. Yaesu has the only "ultra portable" radio with 2m and 70cm SSB/CW/AM. I would absolutely love a KX2/KX3 style full-duplex VHF/UHF radio. 73, Paul, N8HM On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 4:09 PM, Jim Brown wrote: > On 3/1/2018 12:34 PM, Al Lorona

Produce a KX4 with 2m, 70cm, and full-duplex capability and you'd consign the FT-81X line to the dustbin of history! 73, Paul, N8HM On Thu, Mar 1, 2018 at 12:31 PM, Wayne Burdick wrote: > A number of customers considering the KX2 have asked us how it compares to > the newly

A KX2 or KX3 sized full-duplex 2m/70cm radio would be amazing and fill a big hole in current product availability. Lots of satellite ops currently use an "FT-1634" or "FT-1674" (2 FT-817s or 1 FT-817 & 1 FT-857) for this purpose. 73, Paul, N8HM On Thu, Mar 30, 2017 at 00:00 Ryan Noguchi via
