Those of you working AO-7, what is a good minimalistic set-up? Should I be able to work it with an Arrow antenna, a RX pre-amp, and a Ten Tec Mode B box?

Keep in mind the uplink is 432, not 435 where the TenTecs normally are. I suppose you could recrystal the transmitter, but not sure how well it will tune/work 3 MHz off.
Otherwise, I usually have no problem with an Arrow and pair of 817s, or even a whip on the downlink and UHF half of an Arrow on the uplink, and 5 watts.
