Hi Mike,

No I haven't solved my desense issue, but it really isn't an issue for me 
on the LEO satellites.  It was more a pain when we had Phase III birds as 
their downlink signals were a lot weaker.  Others with mode J desense 
issues have tried putting a duplexer between the antenna and preamp and had 
success removing the desense.  You might try that.

I'm also including this to the Amsat-BB list because there might be others 
with some idea's you can explore.
