Hi All,
Another question from a newbie. I noticed the SWR on Tx whilst operating AO-07 mode b was 2:1 on 432.125Mhz. (A bit high for me...) However, on VO-52 and AO-73, the SWR is 1:1, which is of course due to the fact that they are 3Mhz away from Ao-07. The UK band plan for satellite operation is 435Mhz - 438Mhz and my antenna is virtually flat throughout that range. So, I have two questions. 1) Should I be worried about damaging my rig (IC-9100) with the 2:1 SWR on AO-07? 2) Will future satellites be in the 435 to 438Mhz range? Thanks Peter G8KEK _______________________________________________ Sent via [email protected]. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
