I believe the IC-910 also uses the IC-OPC-657A power cord - if that helps in
your searching.

A great suggestion was made for a simple addition to the
program written for demos and education.
You can now add your own images to the little slide show that takes
place in the lower right hand portion of the screen. This is a good
way to personalize your presentation by including images that
are of specific interest to your group or add images that for one
reason or another are not included in the program.
If any group or organization would like an image added to the gallery
and/or included with the program distribution just send me your request
in an email with the image attached and I will try to include it. If any
registered trademark or copyright issues are involved with the image
simply add a line or two to your request authorizing use of the image
in this application.
The updated version of the program, information on how to add your
own images and a little gallery of images to try out is on the
web site.

Congrats to Jerry, K5OE. He just submitted his VUCC upgrade to 1,000 grids
today, actually 1,008 but who's counting.
It was an easy set of cards to check. About 30 from a bunch of hams and 100
or so grids from Yuri. Not a bad haul. and... I have never worked Yuri on
satellite.

So, all the on-line information seems to point to this solution -
putting a diplexer (filter) on the 70cm side to tap off and absorb the
incoming 2m signal. Isn't there also a design where one puts a filter on
the 2m side, to tap off and absorb the 70 cm (3rd harmonic of 2m) signal?
I would think that any (reasonable) 70cm receiver would have enough
rejection for a signal so far out of band, but the in-band 3rd harmonic
can only be taken care of at its source. At least, I think that's the logic.
Is there anything worthy about the other design, or is the most common
problem that our HTs can't possibly deal with a strong 2m signal on the
70cm side because of their "DC to Daylight" receivers?
I've been on the mode-J birds without much of a problem with this sort
of desense, though I did have a lot of trouble on AO-40 with reflected
RF when aiming through a big oak tree behind the house. The 70cm uplink
was interfering with the 13cm downlink, and I was pretty sure at the
time that it was a 3rd harmonic sort of problem.
Just curious,

Hi Stefan VE4NSA, Peter DB2OS and folks on BB
It should be very nice to have a transponder on the Lunar Lander operating
into the X/K band 10,5 GHz Uplink and 24 GHz downlink. As on AO40 the
antennas are very small and probably there is room for a transponder.
For a good feasibility and assesment with ESA it would be very important to
have also a 24 GHz Beacon relaying to us TLM data concerning some primary
ESA experiments.
Just my idea.

Usually the diplexer as a filter is only needed to keep the 2m tx from
overloading a 70cm preamp. For a two radio setup with no preamp, it usually
isn't needed at all.

My portable setup using an arrow antenna doesn't use a diplexor or duplexor.
With the setup for 2m uplink, I connect my VX5R to the two meter driven
element with a piece of RG-8X.
I connect my Icom IC R10 to the 432 mhz driven element with another piece of
RG-8X. Just turn the radios on,
adjust the frequencies, and wave the antenna around until you hear the
satellite on the receive radio. When I transmit and I can hear my signal in
the IC-R10 I know that I may be heard. If I hear someone else in the
downlink, I stop transmitting and wait for another chance
Now note that my IC R10 is not a second HT, but just a receiver. You should
be able to swap in a second HT for the IC R10 with no problem.
Most of the time, I use a better setup by inserting a Down East Microwave
preamp between the antenna and the IC R10. The preamp improves reception on
the downlink considerably. By using a receive only radio with the pre amp,
I don't have to worry about accidently transmitting on 432 and burning up
the pre amp. I run the preamp with two six volt lantern batteries in series.
When working a pass, I start with the receiver in usb mode and tuned about
10 mhz higher than the published downlink frequency. This helps me zero in
on the satellite. When the signal gets better (the squawking noise
listening to a FM signal with usb setting gets loud) I switch the receiver
to FM and gradually tune down frequency to keep up with the doppler. I
usually don't touch the transmit frequency on the VX 5R. I just keep it on
the published downlink frequency for the whole pass.

Dear Nick.
we have tried to use the Nitinol for our CubeSat but for our
experience it is better to use the steel tape.
If you want to have more details please contact us:
