[amsat-bb] Re: RS series mode A downlink power

[John W Lee]

RS 10/11 worked out real good for me. 
I was doing a lot of travelling  in 1987-90,
and was able to make a lot of mobile QSO's  
using an  IC-230 (10 watts on CW) with one frequency
in the middle of the passband,  quarter wave antenna on
the uplink, and receiving on an  FT-301 with Hustler 
10-meter mobile antenna.   Amazing ! 

I was keying the PTT through the accessory jack and
a Vibroplex bug !  And the CW sounded good, too !

Interesting, I had better results on RS10 than RS12/13.  Was RS10's 
uplink more sensitive?
