Hi Jeff,
Many thanks for the report...actually the same radio but as we are sharing the platform with another radio system we "only" have 1/4 wave monopole antennas rather than the full dipoles that we have on FC1.
The actual effects of this difference in practise may be interesting to observe.

I found the receiver to be more stable than ao73 but I also found the downlink to be much weaker than I thought it should be since it supposed to be the same radio as in the ao73.another good pass about midnight tonight to try it out WB8RJY.JEFF
