ttp://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110523087399&ssPageName=S RK:MEWNX:IT for ao-51 s band downlink? 75 ohm out and looks cheesey but ess than $30 shipped. it's cheap enough for me to play so I ought one to experiment with, maybe just to remove the ownconverter. I would welcome stories of your experience or ust advice. hanks ohn, kn4ge ______________________________________________ ent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
