I am new to the satellites. Got to where I can hear my downlink if the bird is higher than 15 degrees. My question is about handling the doppler shift.
If you do not have a sat program automatically correcting you rig frequency, what is the most common or preffered technique? 1 - Hold the TX steady and adj the RX for doppler or 2- Hold the RX steady and adjust the TX for doppler? I know this must be a basic question but I am learning. Thanks,

Hi Doug, KA9DLP
Hold the RX steady and adjust the TX for doppler.This is what I did manually from OSCAR-6 and I do actually on VO-52, FO-29 and OSCAR-7

Adjust the higher frequency of the two you're using.

Hi!
Good question.
Hold the TX steady and adjust the RX. If You adjust TX, the other guy have to adjust also his RX and then his TX... a mess. It is much easier if everybody adjust only his own RX and keeps TX steady.

Hi Doug,
Here is the best article on the subject with an explanation of why and what to do:
