Anyone using the FT-8800R mobile for\n> satellites have any hints or sugestions, antennas etc. Email direct-thanks.\n>\nHi,\n\nI am using FT-8900R (practically same as '8800 plus 6m and 10m) for working\nsatellites\nfrom my car. My antenna is a Diamond NR770 dualband whip on the trunk lid of\nmy car.\nWhile this setup is ok for usual mobile FM operation and APRS, it is\nprobably not optimal\nfor satellite ops. I have got better results on satellites with a dual band\nmag whip on the roof the my car. Especially when the satellite is below ~60\ndegrees it can be reached easily when\nI can hear it (thanks to 50 watts on the uplink). When the sat is higher\nthan that the whip\nis not so good.\n\nI have been working mainly on AO-51 and I have preprogrammed the\nuplink/downlink\nchannel pairs with different doppler values so it is easy to follow the\nsweet spot while\nthe sat first approaches (above the nominal frequency on downlink) and the\nstarts to fly\naway (below the nominal freq). Programming goes easily with FTB8900 software\nby\nG4HFQ. As same channel pairs are available both on the left and right side\nof the\nradio, I usually transmit and listen on the left side of the radio and try\nto listen my\nown signal on downlink with the right side of the rig. With a single mobile\nwhip\nthe sensitivity of the downlink rx is usually not good enough during the\ntransmission.\nThis might be better with separate antennasa for uplink and downlink.\n\nI have planned to use my Arrow yagi with FT-8900R. As the Arrow's diplexer\nis rated only\nmax 10 watts, I bought 100w rated separate diplexer to be used with '8900\ninstead.\nBut I have not tried this combination yet.\n\n73 de Ari OH3KAV / OH7KA\nTampere, Finland (grid: KP11)\n", "attachments": [] }
