GETTING STARTED:
I realize that many Amsat OPs are using handheld antennas and operating portable. However, I am planning a base station using my Kenwood TS-2000. I do not visualize myself operating portable primarily that I do not have needed radios etc. and my age. UGH!
I further realize that using some sort of recorder during a pass is almost a MUST HAVE. Besides the obvious for base station operations of a digital of an analog recorder; what other options would some of you seasoned OPs suggest.
I know that the TS-2000 does have a recorder accessory (DRU-3A) but finding one might be a challenge due to the age of the radio.
Thanks and 73, Jerry AB5R
