Hi folks,
Not owning a 1.2 ghz rig, and it apparently being a strong preference for Eagle, I've been on the lookout for a way to get on that band. A more-or-less local ham has an ICOM 1271 rig for sale. How would this rig be for satellite work? What would be a reasonable price?
With 10 watts out, and about a 60' run to the roof (about 50' of that would probably be hardline), would I need a massive antenna to get any kind of signal into the bird?
The alternative is probably to find a one of those rare 1.2 ghz modules for my Yaesu FT-737R, or some sort of transverter driven from my Yaesu FT-736R or FT-767 (50/144/430 modules installed). What do you think?
Thanks,
Greg KO6TH
