Hello John, So far I've listened to a few of the OSCARs with the K2 and an old 70cm transverter and it works very well. The main problem is using it for the uplink - it won't change frequency while transmitting. Also it can only be used for the SSB/CW birds. With a decent transverter it is an excellent downlink receiver. Despite all this, mine will get quite a lot of use when P3E and EAGLE get into space.
