That's about what I observe too David. I am the other side of the State
to Sebastian and find that on any pass south to north, it is switching
to analogue between three quarters of the way up FL and the middle of
the Country.

I got a Palm m105 a "bit" more than 10cnd few months ago...Anyway i was
planning to use it with the PCR 1000 on the road instead of having
to bring a laptop but i stumble with a "minor" glitch...batteries as soon as
they go down you loose all your memory contents...A bit
annoying but it's old technology now.
BTW Scott thank's for the QSO on AO-51 V/S mode Sunday

That's exactly what i discover compensating for doppler in 5kc steps is
probably not enough on on the downconverter IF it puts the signal
too much in the on an off state having to play back and forth with the knob.
My problem is a rig limitation i'm stuck with a monoband
DSTAR radio making it useless on V/U mode. The only one way is to find a way
to convert UHF to VHF in the 144mhz region to avoid desense.
As far i remember it is far from an ideal solution but i think some are able
to do it?
I note Drew's offer but due to my rig limitation i will not be able to use it.
This don't mean if someone else with a DSTAR dual band
want's to try i will not try to uplink few data stream but i will not be able
to hear myself :(
Again with what i have here S mode can work as i will only have to change my
Down Converter IF from 123mhz to 145mhz that can be done
easily with but the 5kc steps issue. On some rig the steps are adjustable i
don't know if the IC2200H can do that as the menus settings on
this rig is probably the worse i never seen yet. You have to have manual
always with you...
P.S. I don't know why nobody never speak about DSTAR here on this BB as some
are avid data satellites advocate and DSTAR can transmit APRS
signal called DPRS plus voice at the same time even slow data messages? Is two
DSTAR modules plus a controller unit operating cross band
flying aboard ISS is possible? With an high speed data 1.2ghz module is it
possible to have fast internet access from space? Tapping in the
next internet ISS lan system? I'm guessing Icom can be interested to offer the
hardware if it's to be flown aboard ISS!!
In bonus it will offer some spare/off time activities for the next 6 members
crew. Could be ARISS can be interested too?

You have to put your mouse hand or arrow over it to have the explanation!
If you ever ask yourself what programming structures is needed to have your
mouse arrow moving across your PC screen check this:
