RS 10/11 worked out real good for me. I was doing a lot of travelling in 1987-90, and was able to make a lot of mobile QSO's using an IC-230 (10 watts on CW) with one frequency in the middle of the passband, quarter wave antenna on the uplink, and receiving on an FT-301 with Hustler 10-meter mobile antenna. Amazing !
I was keying the PTT through the accessory jack and a Vibroplex bug ! And the CW sounded good, too ! 73 JOhn K6YK --------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tony Langdon <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2009 12:33:53 +1000 Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: RS series mode A downlink power Message-ID: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> <[email protected]> At 12:14 PM 9/17/2009, you wrote: >As per the Satellite Experimenter's Handbook 2nd edition: > > Power output: 5 watts for RS10/11 > Power output : 8 watts PEP for RS-12/13 Interesting, I had better results on RS10 than RS12/13. Was RS10's uplink more sensitive? 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
