I make\nsure most of the adjusting is on the higher frequency.\n\nI can't say I have ever slid into another QSO, but even if I do, it is just\nan opportunity to speak with more friends I haven't met yet! I am usually\nvery hard pressed to find more than one or two QSOs in the passband anyway.\n\nAs I mentioned before I have found computer tuning to work just fine on the\nFM birds (no slop involved), but always find myself fighting against the\ncomputer aided linear tuning. I tune the station in perfectly and then the\ncomputer moves me off frequency. I tune the station in again and the\ncomputer moves me off frequency again. I turn the computer tuning off and\nmake the QSO.\n\nI would be game for some pointers as I would like to at least claim I have\nmade this work once.\n\n73,\nJoe kk0sd\n\n\n\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of Alan\nSent: Tuesday, June 01, 2010 8:32 AM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: Doppler Tuning Convention Question\n\nFolks I've been patiently silent reading this déjà vu annual discussion and\nI'm getting a brain crap.\n\n- comments that tuning the highest frequency is the \"One True Method\"\nYikes! Why is that? So you can leap frog down the pass band and eventually\nstomp all over a QSO where folks are tuning both TX and RX to maintain a\nsingle constant frequency at the satellite?\n\nI've read the \" Doppler tends to move more quickly near mid-pass than the\ncomputer and software routinely seem able to keep up\". Mid pass is when the\nsat is moving most tangentially to you at which point Doppler shift is nil.\n\n\nI've read statements from many taking pride in their lack of use of current\ntechnology.\n\nI've read that working tight SSB sats is easier than the wide band FM where\nthe satellite is very forgiving of your sloppy tuning. \n\nI've read advise to someone using an FT 736r that your shouldn't tune the RX\nand ignore the use of the NOR/REV feature, again so you can eventually stomp\non other QSO's as you slide down the pass band.\n\nHave I just been transported into a Bizarro World?\n\n\n\n73, Alan VE4YZ\nEN19kv\nAMSAT LM 2352 \nhttp://www.wincube.ca \n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
