I\nsee this as a good thing more than bad.  I need the higher power here to\novercome the urban noise floor on low elevation passes.  When I was away\nfrom the city, I could easily hear the sat at it's normal power setting from\n3 degrees and up.\n\nDid UO-14 meet it's demise because of the TX power it was running?  Did it\nrun the 2+ watts 24h/day?\n\nYou may experience more\n> difficulty getting through the satellite.

It seems that coax\nruns are the more important to keep under control.  I was able to hear SO-50\non my AOR AR 8200 scanner with a beam with a short run of coax, no preamp.\nThen try a base setup.  I'll eventually get a base setup but for now, I'm\ncontent with the single channel FM transponders.\n\n73,\n> Gould\n> WA4SXM\n\n\n73 de Pat --- KA9SCF\nAmsat #35741\n",
