Biddle\" <[email protected]> \n\n> Mike, \n> \n> The TS-2000 is a very capable satellite rig, and the 1.2 gig module will get \n> you on mode L. According to the sales sites, you need to have the module \n> installed by a dealer or from the factory. So in one sense, the \n> installation is easy. Let somebody else do it. ;) At about $500-600 plus \n> installation, it is probably comparable in cost to a good external \n> transverter and avoids all the quirks of interfacing and deciding which IF \n> to use. Note that 10 watts out is really marginal, and you need an \n> amplifier in the 50-100 watt range along with a good antenna to make \n> satellite operating more than a chore. \n> \n> The FT-847 works well with a transverter. I regularly operate AO-51 in the \n> various modes using mode L as an uplink, and with a little recabling worked \n> the ISS in mode LV about as well as could be done. There is a brief note in \n> the July/August AMSAT Journal about using TX transverters with 2 meter IFs \n> when you need to be able to RX on 2 meters. \n> \n> One thing to consider whether you are talking about amplifiers or \n> transverters, is that terrestrial communication centers around 1296 MHz, \n> while space communication centers around 1269 MHz. Almost all equipment is \n> designed for the higher and much more common frequency. The amps often need \n> retuning for the lower frequency, and are less efficient. Likewise, \n> transverters will require significantly different crystals to get the IF \n> where you can use it. \n> \n> Going with the TS-2000 and adding a brick amp is the easiest and cleanest \n> way, but if you are a good scrounger, not necessarily the cheapest. \n> \n> Alan \n> WA4SCA \n> \n> \n> \n> _______________________________________________ \n> Sent via [email protected].
