[amsat-bb] 145 MHz IF on mode V/s

Hello all,

Thanks for the many replies to my question. There were a couple with quite a lot of detail.

I'll likely just go with the AIDC 3731 with 145 MHz IF mounted at the dish. I don't know the noise figure of my 123 MHz units.

I needed a 145 MHz IF in the AO-40 days, as I discovered that an original Icom 706 (mkI) has lousy sensitivity at 123 MHz. I've since upgraded to twin 706MK2g rigs that hear just fine at 123..

BTW, anyone have a ballpark idea of when P3E will launch? Last I heard was late 2008?
