Bill.  there are none now.  The vehicle was powered in total by batteries
(second stage and the Dragon mockup) and they have expired.  The vehicle is
essentially inert now.  Decay is expected about 21 June give or take. Next
launch with a full up Dragon is this summer.  They have some roll control
issues to deal with and a few other things...Robert G. Oler WB5MZO Life

Has anyone on the list tried using a Kenwood TS2000 on full duplex satellite
operatation using a dualband VHF/UHF antenna and a diplexer?  Is it possible
or is there too much desensitization thru the diplexer to make full duplex
work?

how well it works in real life.

Not that brand but something similar.  Used it on TV satellite, and
HughesNet Internet connectors for years.  I have it on my ham stuff too
but I do not run lotsa power on HF.  The only problem with it is it is
very slippery.  If you are going to use coax seal or tape .... lots of
luck.  I am using alcohol to clean it off these days to get the tape to
stick.

I have never had a connector go bad with it .... taped ot not.
