G-15 and AMC-11 are opposite polarity, and most of the AMC-11 transponders are 
pretty wide, and the main carrier freq of each transponder is right at the null 
between the transponders on G-15.  It should work on narrow signals that don't 
have carriers at the nulls, but I don't think it would work for most of the wide 
transponders.
