Where can I find a current listing of satellite modes by band?
Where can I find a current listing of satellite modes by band?
I searched the AMSAT.ORG web site but could not find a list.
I found an old FAQ from 1994 but it only has a half-dozen modes listed.
I want something like this:
Mode A - 2m up / 10m down Mode B - 70cm up / 2m down Mode J - 2m up / 70 cm down
I'm trying to help debug some logging software with ARRL LoTW and want to make sure we have it all right.
Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
There are only a few others that use the single letters that I can think of:
K was 15m up, 10m down T was 15m up, 2m down
The current convention is to use the uplink and downlink bands in a two letter combo with the uplink capitalized. Mode B would be U/v, J is V/u. AO-40 operated primarily in LU/s in this format. The laminated AMSAT frequency guides have the new mode on them, as well as the old designation.
A=10m H=15m V=2m U=70cm L=23cm S=13cm C=6cm X=3cm K=1.5cm
Hope that helps.

Thanks for this Drew.
I've converted the HTML document to a PDF, and I'll be happy to email it to anyone who's interested in a copy. The PDF is 12 pages, and just over 97k.
My call @ amsat.org if you'd like the PDF.
73 to all,

Thanks to everyone for their help. I think I have a handle on it now.
'V/a' (A); SatUp: '2m' ; SatDown: '10m' 'U/v' (B); SatUp: '70cm' ; SatDown: '2m' 'V/u' (J); SatUp: '2m' ; SatDown: '70cm' 'H/a' (K); SatUp: '15m' ; SatDown: '10m' 'L/u' (L); SatUp: '23cm' ; SatDown: '70cm' 'U/s' (S); SatUp: '70cm' ; SatDown: '13cm' 'H/v' (T); SatUp: '15m' ; SatDown: '2m' 'L/s' (?); SatUp: '23cm' ; SatDown: '13cm'
It appears that "L/s" is the only one that never had a single-letter mode.
How much activity was there on the transponders that supported frequencies above 13cm (2400 MHz)?
