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.

I am using this configuration since AO-40 era i cannot remember when i was using an 145 IF if i was getting some desense but i think not as i was using to individual radio. The main reason why i keep the 123 IF is due to the Yeasu FT-847 who cannot transmit at 123MHZ. This save my AIDC downconverter from any accidental TX in it.
