Terrible Repeater QRM on AO-92 at 15:40z
The best solution. Give up on FM and move to a Linear bird. Invest in it and you'll love the difference. [snip] Ok, off soapbox. Flame retardant suit is on. Mike va3mw
How is moving to linears a solution? What happens when somebody puts a repeater output in the passband of a linear uplink? Same thing (if not worse - due to FM signal blowing out all other signals).
The best solution is to find the trustee of the repeater and work with them to either change the output of the repeater, no?

I think Mike was saying people were a local nuisance by QRMing local repeaters, not referring to the repeater that is supposedly QRMing the sat.

Hi Roy
What happens when the world ends? You and I and just about everyone is not able to control the future.
If we all thought about 'what if' we wouldn't have gotten out of the stone age and the Wright Brothers wouldn't have flown.
All we can do is deal with the present and the facts we have at hand.
I look at it this way. If all the idiots want to jam the crap out of the FM birds, so be it. That means they are leaving the linear birds alone.

Another option is to move up the bands. Microwave bands are more easily accessible these days with SDR, and the antennas are smaller.
