I'm returning to satellite operations after being off the air (entire station disconnected) for over two decades and am looking to put my FT-736R back to use in the manner for which it was intended.?? However, while I'm OK with my 2M setup (rig to amp/pre-amp unit to Eggbeater) I'm less confident on 70cM, specifically how not to toast the mast mounted pre-amp. I know that I need to inject the voltage for the pre-amp using the little control box that came with the pre-amp (Mirage KP-2 series) but how do I ensure that the voltage drops when I transmit so the pre-amp is taken out-of-line??? Perhaps there is a FAQ or diagram for this out there somewhere?
Also, what is being used for CAT control these days if I'm using SatPC32 for tracking?
I feel like such a newb!
Thanks!?? -de Gary WA4YMZ
