My very good friend CO6CBF Hector asked me to make\n> a comeback into the ham satellites world.\n> I found an ECHO 70 KLM transceiver that was in bad shape, but that could\n> be repaired. Now it is receiving , but on transmit the power is only 1 Watt.\n> The receive sensitivity is not great, but enough for Hector to make a two\n> way contact with it... Hector has a very good 70 cms band antenna system\n> that really helped.\n> The 70 cms signal level at the input of the first of two output filters is\n> 10 Watts, measured with professional test instruments, but after the\n> filters there is only 1 Watt.\n> I suggested to Hector that he blew hot air over the ceramic trimmers\n> of the two filters in order to remove humidity ...\n> It worked on one of the filters... now there is good power output\n> on the 435 megaHertz segment , but 432 megaHertz is still at the\n> low power output level.\n> FYI, we are not authorized to operate on the 432 megaHertz segment\n> used by the Oscar 7 AO7 ancient satellite... but do have permission\n> to operate on the 435 megaHertz segment that other satellites use.\n> Any information about the ECHO 70 KLM transceiver that can be found\n> will be most useful, as once the rig is in good working conditions it\n> will be used frequently from my EL83td grid square location in downtown\n> Havana, and possibly by mini dx satellite expeditions to other nearby\n> grid squares too.\n> If the files that contain the information about the ECHO 70 KLM rig\n> are large, please send them to:\n> arnaldo.coro at gmail dot com\n> \n> Thanks in advance for your help and hope to make many new friends\n> in my return to the amateur satellites world after many years\n> of absence * I am from the days of Oscar 7, RS 10 and RS 12 and\n> RS 15 * !!!!\n> \n> 73 and DX\n> Arnie Coro\n> CO2KK\n> _______________________________________________\n> Sent via [email protected].
