[amsat-bb] AO-51 SSB uplink

[Howie DeFelice]

What if we tried using SSB on the uplink and FM on the downlink as an experiment sometime. If the uplink passband was left a little wide, several stations could still be intelligible at once, assuming they weren't on the exact same frequency, not to mention a cw signal or two off to the edges. The DSP between the ears can work pretty good at separating signals sometimes.  Not a good mode for handheld operation but may be worth a try just to see how well it works..
