I have found that computer tuning for AO-73 simply doesn't work... the satellite frequency drifts enough that your up- and downlinks won't stay in sync for long. I leave my downlink frequency alone as much as possible (unless needed to chase the other guy), and manually adjust the uplink, and that has worked well for me.

Hello all. I seem to have a wee problem with working Ao-73. The problem I cant work it at all. I am hearing people talking but when I attempt to find my downlink nothing heard. I have tried sending cw up and tuning downlink and also tuning uplink and nothing. I have set up tuning for 145.950 down and 435.150 up. Am missing something here? I spoke to my good friend and very good Sat operator Derrick Gm0fmw and he also cant access it with a fairly good antenna set-up. We are both in Edinburgh Scotland Is this the problem? Please all help will be appreciated .
