Does anyone know what the conversion spec is? What input range maps to
what output range? Seems like a most basic spec, but I can't find it
anywhere.

I think I would want to go a little more than 100 MHz (maybe 120).  The
commercial FM station on 107.1 outs a BIG signal. 73,Jos kk0sd

The dongle with the 820T chip starts at about 12 meters and goes to nearly
1.7 ghz,
so you can use the dongle itself (without up converter) for anything above
HF.  It will also receive FM stereo.
...Unless you are using the up converter with some other device.

Hi,

Just a note to say that there will be a series of updates coming out in the
next few weeks which will introduce some of the most popular feature
requests.

Also a quick heads up to say that once these are done we will be
introducing a paid HamSatDroidPlus version which will have a richer
interface targeted at both phones and tablets, where a proportion of the
price will go to the AMSAT-UK Satellite Building Fund.

More details on this to come. However, if you would like to make
suggestions for functionality they will be gratefully received.

Something we and others need is a web service that provides a catalog of
not just Keps but also satellite capabilities.... Not a textual version but
one that can be consumed by other web services. I've got a bare-bones
version working but would be happy to collaborate.
