Kyle:
I am using a K5GNA downcoverter with the IF set for 145. I dont experience any desense in V/S mode. I have tried two different antennas and still no desense. I do have the antenna set for vertical polarization and the VHF uplink beam is set for horizontal polarization.

Hi all,
Thanks for the replies, however, I've still not had my question answered, so I'll ask again.
I'd like to hear from anyone using a 145 MHz IF when working mode V/s. Do you experience desense when operating V/s, but not other uplink modes?
I'm planning to use my AIDC 3731 with 145 MHz IF when I install my dish this summer. I really want to use it for HEO operation, but it'd be a bonus if I could also work the LEOs.
I could go with a 123 MHz IF unit if that'd work better.
Thanks and 73,
