FO-29 performs well. Its a shame I often find myself the only one on during the pass. Just me and my downlink.
As stated by others in the past, here are a few hints. USB always on the downlink (that means LSB on the uplink for inverting transponders). Use CW to find yourself quickly on the downlink. When using computer control, unlock your TX and RX VFO's momentarily, listen to your downlink while adjusting your uplink. Match the pitch of the CW downlink to the pitch of your local sidetone (or adjust your uplink to where your own voice sounds natural in SSB). Lock your VFO's again and your ready to make QSO's.
