Is there an HT that will work the 1.2 GHZ uplink of AO-92 in LV mode and will the Arrow 2 antenna transmit that frequency? Brad Smith KV9UQR
Alinco has a 1.2GHz HT, but the Arrow will not work. There is a small Yagi available on eBay that has been used by others.

Honestly, I don't think the current usage levels justify another day.
However, I am considering moving L/v to Wednesdays UTC like the old AO-51/AO-85 Experimenter's Day.
Hopefully ESEO will be commissioned someday and we'll have a full-time L/v satellite.

I would love to see a pic of the portable antennas and radios that the guys are using to work LV. If i had something to work with, i would invest in an HT

Brad,
Look through this thread on the QRZ satellite forum for pictures of some L/V setups used with AO-92:
https://forums.qrz.com/index.php?threads/wheres-ao-92.614536/page-31#post-48...
A bunch of us use the DJ-G7T HT with different antennas. I have even used my DJ-G7T to work AO-92 L/V full-duplex, with a diplexer between the HT and my 2 antennas.
73!

Brad,
Behold:

Took the rear two 2 meter elements off the Arrow and drilled holes with the appropriate spacing on a $30 eBay antenna.
I use a Yaesu VX2 for the downlink and the Alinco DJ-7T for the L-Band uplink.
73, Mike
