[amsat-bb] Re: Planning for the future, downconverter options.

At the rate things seem to be going. I would avoid planning anything for the future until the designers figure out exactly what it is they want. I planned for the future a year ago and bought a dish and AIDC 3731 for S band. Now according to the "experts", it's going to be useless in a short while! 73, Michael, W4HIJ AMsat # 36017

As Eagle won't have S band downlinks, I'd like to know if there is something simple out there that I can use in place of my AIDC 3731 downconverter to receive the higher frequencies on my 3' dish. I'd like something low cost, compact and simple like the transystems units were.
