Thanks Peter! That's all I was interested in. I'm not sure how Ev managed to misinterpret my question. I thought it was straightforward.

Ken,
Based on the specs you quoted above your email "can you use the ft-818 and arrow"
The simple and honest answer is no, it would require different equipment likely SDR based on microwave frequencies.

"DVB-S2X down, FDMA up, single carrier, "
Is this something I can do with a pair of FT-818s and my Arrow antenna?

I got a call from a space industry contact who saw this post.
DVB-S2X down, FDMA up, single carrier, reasonable rent, public safety partner. Money for a year's worth could be raised in a single campaign.
I'll see what I can find out and draw up a proposal.

This is interesting for sure, Michelle. Traditionally, amateur satellites (and symbiants) have been
self-contained
RX and TX systems.
Conjecture follows...If DVB-S2 could be negotiated to provide the downlink, the missing component is an uplink within the amateur bands
(just
restating you). That means (if it can be negotiated), our work is cut in half because we are reduced to providing the uplink (RX) side and a pathway to the
DVB-S2
downlink. Of course, this is an oversimplification because we would
also
need all of the things that make a symbiant palatable to the host
system.
Interesting thought experiment, though. Ev

Since the potential rentable birds generally all use DVB-S2 as a
downlink,
then the work Phase 4 Ground is doing to bring that entire standard to
open
source amateur radio use would seem to be quite relevant.
Different question is how to handle amateur uplinks, but there are some internet backhaul options there that would work very well as an intermediate step.
Great question and discussion.
