There seems to be a delta\nfor 2.2 GHz for the block conversion (e.g. 5.9 GHz up, 3.7 GHz down).\nWe'd need more like a 4 GHz conversion to land in our S-band, given a\n5.8 GHz uplink. I'm sure the filters aren't quite tuned to go below\nout of band, either.\n\nAnother issue I just realized is that these transponders use polarized\nsignals (left, right, vertical, horizontal, polka-dotted)....this\nagain makes using an old communications sat a bit more difficult (but\nnot impossible) for us hams.\n\nLooks like this was not meant to be!\n\n73,\n\nDave\nNøTGD\n\n\nOn 1/28/07, Karl Bullock <[email protected]> wrote:\n>\n> Dave hartzell wrote:\n> > 3) Most of the uplink freq's are in the 5.9 GHz range (out of our\n> > allocation) and downlink in the 3.7 GHz range, again, (out of our\n> > allocation).\n> >\n> That may be _the_ problem.
