Re: [amsat-bb] AO-7 Mode B Questions (difficulty getting in)
Yes. I know that a strong uplink can overpower the transponder, so I started on low power and worked my way all the way up to the high power setting with almost no difference (at least that I could see). Existing QSO's saw no issues whatsoever during my Tx'ing. We've got a 77deg pass here in less than an hour, I'll try and get a screen grab of the waterfall (maybe I'll record the whole passband).

Do you see the other strong signals while you are transmitting as well? 73, Drew KO4MA
My thought was desense from your transmitter. What's the antenna setup? I think I saw that answer on QRZ or somewhere, but don't recall.
