    "content": "There are some very good reasons to NEVER use FM on a linear \ntransponder, especially FO-29 and AO-7.\n\nSince FM is running a constant carrier, it sucks all the available power \naway from other users on the transponder, and makes the transponder run \na full-carrier on the output.\n\nThis is VERY hard on the power system of a satellite that was never \ndesigned for it, and particularly hard on the batteries of an older bird \nlike FO-29.\n\nSince AO-7 is running entirely on its solar cells, forcing it to \ntransmit a full carrier would drag the system voltage down to where it \nwould probably reset the satellite, and possibly cause other damage.\n\nIf you want to run FM, stay on the FM satellites and keep off the linear \nbirds!\n\nJim  KQ6EA\n\nOn 04/23/2011 08:37 PM, Kevin Deane wrote:\n>\n>   Or he could just use FM since hardly anyone uses the SSB birds compared to the other sats.\n>\n> Although I am sure there are a million reasons not to use FM. even though it works just fine on the SSB birds.

This is a common malady associated with 3rd harmonic interference on mode J (V/U) satellites. Try this on a pass that will reach at least 30 degrees above the horizon:\n>> 1. Turn HRD control of your TS2K off\n>> 2. Set your uplink at 145.950 CW\n>> 3. At AOS you should hear the beacon about 8-10 kHz above the beacon freq of 435.895 (about 435.904 MHz)\n>> 4. Tune your receiver to 435.850 plus that same delta from beacon (about 435.859 USB). You should be able to tune your receive and hear your CW dits (clearly).\n>> 5. Zero beat the CW dits on the low side, switch to LSB and you should be exactly on frequency and can turn on TRACE and go anywhere in the passband.\n>>\n>> If you have auto-Doppler turned on in HRD, your program should do the same thing as this manual procedure.\n>>\n>> You should be able to hear yourself. If not, Google the diplexer fix for the harmonic problem.\n>>\n>> > From the center of the passbands, whatever the UHF Doppler shift is, the VHF Doppler will be approximately 1/3 in the opposite direction. This is a helpful rule for finding your downlink manually.\n>>\n>> 73,\n>> Jerry, K5OE\n>>\n>> -- original message --\n>> Good morning,\n>>\n>> Since putting up the Elk on a rotor (fixed el +- 25 deg), I decided to try\n>> some linear birds.\n>>\n>> I have tried FO 29 about 3x but seem to have some issues.
