Hello Enzo,

Welcome back to radio :) Good to hear from you again.

Falconsat-3 has the capability of running a 38k4 downlink, but it's unlikely that we'll try it. I have 2 radios with Symek boards---the TS-790A and the TS-2000X. You can see my photos of the TS-2000X mod here:

It may not be worth the risk associated with the modification to your radio. Should we try 38k4, using an SDR receiver and software TNC to decode is probably an easier option to consider.

If there were sufficient numbers of interested hams in running at 38k4, we might be able to try it. But for now, it's probably unlikely.

The 1.2GHz transmitter in the TS-2000X will be useful with the soon to be launched Fox-1Cliff and Fox-1D!

73,

Hello,

I was a bit out of the world of radio due to the renovation of the house.

In the meantime I took advantage of replacing my old Kenwood TS-790E with a new Kenwood TS-2000X.

In the old TS-790, I had the Symek IFD card for receiving 38k4 baud satellites.

I wanted to know if there are still satellites that still transmit at that speed and if it is worth inserting the TS-2000X card.

Thank you
