Hi Wayne,
For satellite work, 1.2 ghz receive performance is irrelevant. It's always an uplink. I have yet to hear anything on 1.2 ghz, other than a beacon off to the west. The only repeater within earshot went off the air a few years ago. But L/US is a great mode on AO-51.

Could be this band will gain some revival with DSTAR we have one here in Montreal on DSTAR with high speed internet link. Some folks (read one) are transmitting audio and video in data mode we even can see them over the internet.
Just gp on http://raqi.ca/braq/live.htm and click on "WEB CAM LIVE DE MARIO SI DISPONIBLE" It is a balloon launcher group.
