If you are having desense, you are having it regardless of the\nmode. You may not notice it with the FM birds because their transmitters\nare so strong and because of the FM capture effect.\nCan I use the diplexer in the Arrow antenna as a filter? Yes, however there\nare several issues with it:\n1. It can only handle 10 watts.\n2. I don't know how good the separation is with regard to the Comet (or\nothers) in the AMSAT article Ray KN2K referred you to.\n3. It has a 2m pigtail that might (probably?) pickup some of the 2m energy\ntransmitted and feed it back to the 70cm side which will desense it and\ndefeat what you are trying to accomplish like the article says.\n\n-David, N9KT\n\n\nOn Mon, Sep 4, 2023 at 1:10 PM Erik Eitel via AMSAT-BB <[email protected]>\nwrote:\n\n> I am fairly new to chasing satellites.
