Fortunately, I kept all my AO-10/13 2m & 70cm equipment...likewise am keeping my mode-L and mode-S for P3E. I am just disappointed that I will not be able to use my mode-LS station on Eagle, as well.

Hi Ed, KL7UW
And I too kept my antennas and equipments like converters transverters and so on specifically designed for AO40 but considering all expences occurred for the preventional maintenance of the antennas during the elapsed time between 2004 when AO40 died and hopefully 2007 when P3E will be in orbit I am sure that it was a good choice.
In addition if P3E will be succesfull than the S-band downlink will become more and more popular and so it will be very difficult for Eagle cannot do without both mode L and S
