Hi Drew As i wrote in my previous message: "As the first DSTAR satellite transmission has been made on AO-27 i don't know if the same test can be perform on AO-51." I was asking a question only to know if as AO-27 DSTAR can be pass through AO-51. I guess the answer is yes as per your offer to ask for it in the monthly schedule? I choose this the last days of V/S mode to avoid "messing" with analog users. >From my first checking i will have to use another V/S session and i will have >to switch my downconverter IF from 123mhz to 144mhz as my IC- 2200H digital mode does not operate out of the amateur band. (Always a last minute surprise when you test something...) Just hope this new digital mode will be used on other sat as the audio quality is interference free and i don't know if DSTAR can solved the usual pagers QRM on the uplink and some other always curious sound we heard during this V/S session?
