[amsat-bb] A073

The ao73 has problems. First of all the uplink could be as much as 5-10 kHz off from the published numbers.so send a series of dits from your cw key while you sweep around with ur uplink vfo to find yourself. Once you find yourself, you have to adjust your uplink frequency about 200 hz per 30 min to keep up a drifting oscillator on the bird while monitoring your downlink.once u get the hang of it, It's not so bas.its a very very good with a great receiver ! P.S IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE AFTER DARK ON WEEK DAYS AND ALL WEEKEND FOR AMATEUR USE. 73 Jeff WB8RJY
