It's nice to know that even the highest of currently-in-use satellite frequencies are do-able without computer aid. I'm pleased to hear that, and will rethink my position on things above 70 cm.\n\nTo Joe and Bruce - Here, I have noticed particular challenges with VO-52, whose Doppler tends to move more quickly near mid-pass than the computer and software routinely seem able to keep up with. The Mode J satellites and AO-7 Mode B haven't really been too troublesome. At the end of the day, however, tuning manually remains a very viable option for any of us, in my opinion. \n\n73 to all,\n\nTim - N3TL\n\n\n________________________________\nFrom: Greg D. <[email protected]>\nTo: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]\nSent: Tue, June 1, 2010 12:36:55 AM\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: Doppler Tuning Convention Question\n\n\n\n\n> From: [email protected]\n> To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]\n> Date: Mon, 31 May 2010 21:42:09 -0400\n> Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Doppler Tuning Convention Question\n> \n\n> \n> Alan, I have no doubt that you're right about the necessity for Doppler\n> control above Mode B satellites.

Just keep spinning the dial. Also, having an older rig (736r), I don't bother with computer control when on the linear birds. I do relax under full computer control for FM up through L-band, but there's still something satisfying about manual tuning.\n\nGreg KO6TH\n\n\n \n_________________________________________________________________\nHotmail is redefining busy with tools for the New Busy.
