Can you explain the 6dB advantage 2m has over 70cm? I've seen it here on the amsat-bb, and in the mesh realm when comparing 2.4GHz and 5.8GHz WiFi gear, but it still hasn't "clicked."

Nick,
It should be even stronger than AO-27's 500 mW, AO-27 had a 70cm downlink, the EO-80 downlink is on 2 meters, so EO-80's signal should be up to 9 dB stronger than AO-27 (12 dB stronger if they run it at 1 watt).

Thats very good news, Hopefully the two get activated before field day?
Im
most looking forward to EO-80, It should be like AO-27 with 500Mw or 1W. Good to know both are working well and wish a long life to them.
