Doppler adjustment - easy to remember
Regarding all the explanations on 'how to' adjust doppler... The 2m usually doesn't move enough to need much adjusting, maybe a small bit near LOS. Usually it's just the UHF that needs adjustment, whether it's the uplink or the downlink... So, it's simple if you remember this phrase I came up with:
Adjust UHF UP when it's the UPLINK and DOWN when it's the DOWNLINK because TWO meters is TOO much to bother with.
Hope that helps. 73, Kevin N4UFO
Hi
You can easy see/check real dopplers updated using http://amsat.org.ar/pass?satx=AO-92
Or the satellite you are tracking.

What about always correct Doppler on the highest frequency? That is the one affected most by Doppler. 73...bruce
