The power output is about the same right now at ~800mW each. I think you said you just put up a new antenna? The two downlinks have opposite circular polarities, with 435.150 being LHCP, and 435.300 RHCP. I'm guessing your new antenna is set up for LHCP.

Hello,
I am new to the satellites and getting the hang of it. I listened to the 2 down links this morning and the 435.150 was much stronger that the 435.300. Is there any particular reason for that. Just curious. I copied it all the way to horizon and the 435.300 was very weak at that point.
