While saying \"always correct the higher of the two\nfrequencies\" may be good advice-- in modes where the lower\nof the two frequencies are either 2-meters or HF, but it won't\nwork too well when you get up into using Mode-L or Mode-S.\n\nFor the higher frequencies in Satellite communications, throw that\nnotion out the window!\n\nDopplers vary so much on BOTH frequencies in those cases,\nthat you won't be successful by only correcting the higher frequency.\n\nI know what an advantage \"computer-controlled\" Doppler correction\ncan be if everything is correct, but I've also used pre-programmed\n\"channel techniques\" in several of my satellite radios to work the FM\nmode satellites, supplementing with fine corrections manually to\noptimize. (I have an FT-847, two IC-821H's, an IC-970, and an\nIC-910H, the later of the two having 1.2 GHz.)\n\nI've made some fine L/U contacts on AO-51 lately using two 1.2GHz\nuplink systems-- one, an array of four 35-element Yagis phased together\nfor low elevation angles, and two, a pair of 24-element Yagis phased\ntogether with az/el control.\n\nDo not be discouraged by people indication that \"manual control\"\njust doesn't work. It may be quite a challenge, but it works very\nwell!
