Just copied 89 frames of telemetry from FunCube 1. I agree, the 13066B is a really good fit.

Well, I will third that. I had a 2 degree pass and it worked well with those keps. Not a lot of TLM recovered but I could hear the between frame beep for the duration of what SatPC32 said was AOS.
I've got a few birdies from neighboring ?? and they can wreck the FUNcube telemetry very easily unless FUNcube is pretty strong. It doesn't seem to take much birdie carrier to lose a frame. Anybody else have similar woes?

Jerry,
My shack is (sadly) full of 2M "birdies." Most of them come from my wireless hub...replaced it once, didn't improve. Need one that is "silent" on 2M, but with so many devices, changing anything on the wireless gives me a migraine :)
The SDR FCDP+ waterfall on 2M is really, really ugly here. Heh.

Hi Mark,
Thank you very much! I had this nasty birdie on the Defli-Next frequency and after reading your post, I killed my Netgear N600 and WOW, the birdie on 145.869 is gone :-)
Thank you again!

There's something very wrong with the N2YO keps, I would not trust them until they are updated and do not disagree with the original keps by nearly and entire Pacific Ocean (at the time of this email)...

Stefan and Mark, 90% of the "crud" on 2 metres comes from my Cable Modem / Router. Lucky so far Funcube and N3XT are in the clear. Colin VK5HI.

If you want to hear garbage on 2 meters, try listening to it in the middle of the city.
I have to stand in one particular place to have a chance work Europe on AO-7 when it's dark outside. The light fixtures surrounding the parking lot and courtyard of my apartment building put out a terrible static. There's only one spot I've found where I can hear the satellite at low elevations to the northeast and not hear those light fixtures.
Trying to pick anything up from my balcony on 2 meters is fruitless. In addition to countless birdies from every piece of electronic equipment you can think of (including an S9+40 one right on 145.800 MHz), there's constant S8 broadband static from the building.
Then on 70cm there's the military EPLRS. Luckily that's just annoying, it doesn't really hurt my ability to copy anything.

Hi all,
Replace the switch mode wall mount power supply with transformer power supply and coil the extra power cord with ferrite. Most of the common mode noise can be eliminated. There are still switch mode regulators and oscillators inside modem/router/hub that can radiate birdies. Clamp the Ethernet cables also with a ferrite clamp so there is no more "antennas".

Rick Thank you for the keps. I was having same problem as others, in that I wasn't matching up with N2YO's web. But after I loaded your keps I see that N2YO still is'nt matching up, but I'll go with yours since you decoded. Thanks John KC0BMF
