Hi Matt,
I use a SDRPlay with HDSDR as my satellite downlink receiver. For uplink, a FT-817nd with an Elk antenna (or Arrow).

Hi All,
I've recently become interested again in working some of the satellites that are still operational. Back when I was active 4-5 years ago I was working FM only and now want to get back into it and try FO-29 and AO-7 as well. I purchased a SDRPlay with the hopes of using it as the downlink receive and already have a Yaesu FT-857 (that I'll set to low power) or a cheap Chinese HT as my uplink depending on the satellite. Are there any others out there who use the SDRPlay for this purpose? I know Patrick (WD9EWK) has used one before and I have been corresponding with him via e-mail but was just curious if there were any others out there that do as well.
