Hi All

Been away awhile, I'm wondering what FM satellites are being used now.

Thanks,

FO-29 is most definitely NOT an FM bird! Jim KQ6EA

I misread the question, I in no way was suggesting to use FM on any of the SSB satellites.

Hi Pete, MI3EPN

Absolutely wrong because FO-29 has a linear transponder designed for use on CW and SSB.

Why to vaste a lot of battery power using a stady carrier in FM and why to occupy a wide band interfering those who are using CW and SSB ?

For the same reason no body was using FM in the early 1970-1980 with satellites like OSCAR-6 , OSCAR-7 and OSCAR-8

Use please those many FM satellites specifically designed for a single channel in FM.
