    "content": "Mike,\n\nThe TS-2000 is a very capable satellite rig, and the 1.2 gig module will get\nyou on mode L.  According to the sales sites, you need to have the module\ninstalled by a dealer or from the factory.  So in one sense, the\ninstallation is easy.  Let somebody else do it.  ;)  At about $500-600 plus\ninstallation, it is probably comparable in cost to a good external\ntransverter and avoids all the quirks of interfacing and deciding which IF\nto use.  Note that 10 watts out is really marginal, and you need an\namplifier in the 50-100 watt range along with a good antenna to make\nsatellite operating more than a chore.\n\nThe FT-847 works well with a transverter.  I regularly operate AO-51 in the\nvarious modes using mode L as an uplink, and with a little recabling worked\nthe ISS in mode LV about as well as could be done.  There is a brief note in\nthe July/August AMSAT Journal about using TX transverters with 2 meter IFs\nwhen you need to be able to RX on 2 meters.\n\nOne thing to consider whether you are talking about amplifiers or\ntransverters, is that terrestrial communication centers around 1296 MHz,\nwhile space communication centers around 1269 MHz.  Almost all equipment is\ndesigned for the higher and much more common frequency.  The amps often need\nretuning for the lower frequency, and are less efficient.  Likewise,\ntransverters will require significantly different crystals to get the IF\nwhere you can use it.\n\nGoing with the TS-2000 and adding a brick amp is the easiest and cleanest\nway, but if you are a good scrounger, not necessarily the cheapest.\n\nAlan\nWA4SCA\n\n\n\n",
