I had a recollection that it was UOSAT-1 (OSCAR-9) that was planned to have a 23cm L-Band beacon and so I emailed Cliff G4BGP/G8FDH who has sent me the following: -- It had been proposed that a 23cm beacon be carried on board UOSAT. However there was a legal problem to be overcome. A request

Hi Greg, KO6TH For the history no OSCAR satellite carried on a Mode-L Beacon. OSCAR-7 carried on a Mode-S beacon on 2304.1 MHz built by the San Bernardino Microwave Society but it was never officially turned on because of international treaty constraints (bandplan) so that it was not receiving

Note that Jan is specifically asking about VO-52 (mode UV), *NOT* FO-29 (mode VU). There is a big difference. When the uplink is VHF, the third harmonic of 145 MHz is 435 MHz so desense is often a problem. I have always noticed that difficulty with my FT-847 on FO-29 in the absence of external

Hi Dimitry, I know of this filter, but these are for working FO-29 when the uplink is 145 and the downlink 435. The Harmonics produced by the 145 uplink signal interfere with the 435 downlink. Now I experience the same with VO-52 but there the uplink 435 and the donwlink 145 ??? So why is

Hi Jan, PA0SAT Your problem with VO-52 ,uplink 435 MHz and downlink 145 MHz is not due obviously by armonics but by 435 MHz overloading the IC-910 receiving 145 MHz because probably this tranceiver has a lover 1 dB compression point at 144 MHz in comparison to a FT-847 and so it is more subject
