James, I wont be investing in 3 gig equipment. If I had plenty of money and lots of expertise all things would be possible. In the real world it just don't work that way. You are trying to sell Amateur Satellite service to the masses by offering them a chance to work something that they can't use or afford. The time and expense that is put into developing transponders that you can't buy a radio to work is not practical. Do you know that Yaesu has withdrawn from the satellite market?
