SatPC32 G5500 Flip or 450 deg Turnpoint analysis
by Simon 20 Aug '06

20 Aug '06

Hello, Has anyone any thoughts on what is the best way to go with SATPC32's options that allows you to select either an elevation of 0-180 degrees thus enabling Flip Mode, OR selecting the extended Azimuth option of 0 - 450 degrees. The latter disables Flip mode though. I am unsure which choice will give the most benefit for both Leo's and EME tracking? Thanks Simon, VK3ZSJ

2m antenna
by Wallace Strom 19 Aug '06

19 Aug '06

Hello, I'm looking for an antenna design for 2 meters that is on 22cm tall. I would like to mount the antenna on my car and be able to drive my garage without removing the antenna. Of course I would like to have rhcp to work satellites. I have modeled a couple of cross-loop antenna but can't get the SWR below 3. Questions - should I model for 50 ohm or 100 ohm? Any suggestions would be helpful. 73, Wally KG4YUW

Anyone know if the TS-2000 1.2ghz module can be purchased and installed by the end user? Most websites say it has to be sent to Kenwood for installation. Thanks, RoD KD0XX
