For\n> some reason the uplink wiped out my downlink. I had not had the\n> problem before. I probably am the only one it affected since I have\n> a different down converter set up than most. I use one of K5GNA\n> converters with the original LO crystal. I convert the 123.2 Mhz IF to\n> 29.2 Mhz. I have examined all the obvious harmonic/image/IF\n> combinations but haven't hit on anything I think should be a problem.\n\nI was able to get on Saturday evening (early Sunday, UTC), and had\nmixed results. Using the TranSystem dipole/corner reflector on my\ndownconverter (K5GNA-modified AIDC3731), it worked great. Even on\na 12-degree eastern pass. When I went to the N connector on the\ndownconverter and used a \"Cantenna\" WiFi antenna, I'd wipe out my\nIF receiver when transmitting.\n\n>From the downconverter, my coax to my power injector and from there\nto the receiver is RG6, to an F-to-BNC adapter for my IF receiver (AOR\nAR8200Mk2B handheld wide-band all-mode receiver). I've used other\nWiFi antennas before with better results, but those were mounted directly\non the N connector and had no coax run before the downconverter.\n\nI was able to make 3 QSOs on an eastern pass and 1 on a western pass\nthat evening, not bad for a portable station without computer control for\nanything. With the exception of using the AOR receiver instead of my\n(now former) VX-2R, this was the same setup I have used in the past and\nwrote about in a 2006 AMSAT Journal article. Someday, I'll try this out\nwith a computer-controlled station... :-)\n\nNext time the S-band transmitter is on, I have a few other antennas\nI'd like to try. Maybe I need to reduce, eliminate, or change the\ncoax from the other WiFi antennas if I plan on using them with the\ndownconverter.\n\n73!\n\n\n\nPatrick WD9EWK/VA7EWK\nhttp://www.wd9ewk.net/\n", "attachments": [] }
