Not been on the Sats for some time, but when AO40 was alive, I used the drake for the downlink. my experiences are shown at - http://www.g4dmf.co.uk/dish/antenna.html From what I gather, AO51 is a magnitude stronger than AO40 ever was. The Drake provided solid copy of Telemetry. There are links in the article to various pictures I took, including a screen-shot of AO40 data on screen, and links to the mod pages for some of the many modifications done to that downconvertor. RIP AO40... Praying for a " Battery Event " on that bird too! _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
