Re: [amsat-bb] Help with Yaesu FT-736r
Looks like my effort to get Robert KD4ZGW in AL back on the birds is paying off. Robert tells me that the Xggcomms CAT Cable I sent him works perfectly on his FT-736R and SatPC32. So give a listen as he should be roaming the birds ASAP..!! Steve NS3L
Special thanks to Steve NS3L, I was able to listen to AO-73 for a short period of time (You were right, Steve, about the "drifting" on AO-73) and was able to change the frequencies. This leads me to my next question:
All I am operating on is a 2 Meter / 70 CM ground plane (Which does not do great at all except at low elevation.). Anyway, I still have my Moxon's that I built when I was doing rover. They did alright, but still, when the sat got to a certain elevation; I could not hear anything. Here is the million dollar question: Will a "turnstile" antenna for the sat's work better than the Moxon's?
