With the occasional conversations going on with leo, nano sat, GEO, cube
sat, heo,?etc.? Just what does it cost to put these gizzmos up there?? Who
are the major players who do the putting?? More and more countries and
private companies are developing this capability.? Competition is the cost
equalizer.? I mean what if North Korea said, "we can do that?for for
cheap".? To save face would say NASA , "step up"?? I, and we in the majority
do not understand all the ramifications political and?otherwise?to be made
in these decisions.? I do know we (AMSAT) have some very smart and "well
placed" people within the industry.? I hear the term, "benevolent
benefactor",? "pool our visa cards", "get lottery tickets", etc.? I have yet
to see a "dig in our heels" concept and make it happen.? There is not a
specific answer to these questions and ideas.? I feel it important to keep
this carrot in front of our nose.

I guess that receiver could just about be a direct-conversion one, with good
enough filtering.
I have a crate of old VHF and UHF PMR handies at work, with various
"cosmetic" faults - broken channel selects, broken volume controls, or more
seriously poor TX or poor RX. No-one takes me seriously when I suggest we
match 'em up in pairs, stick a solar panel on it, put half a dozen in a
rucksack and get them flown to the ISS. When one dies, get them to roll
down the window and toss another over the side ;-)
