[amsat-bb] Re: Good discussion of using two HF rigs with transverters for satellite comms

[Ted]

Before you 'tee off' on anyone, Stefan, try reading the article. The first
paragraph sets forth the authors goal. He was not so much pushing the Flex
line, but rather his goal was to work with specific parameters and
equipment. The reality is that there just is not 'one best way' to do this
stuff.

Let me get this straight:

Flex 1500   $650
Flex 3000   $1700

Plus transverters:

L144-28HP $480

L432-28HP $500


That's $3,330!!!!!

The info and concept might be good, but that's it.

Get a Funcube Dongle Pro+ (wish AMSAT NA would negotiate a deal with Howard
and sell them to raise funds) if you want a SDR receiver and an FT847,
TS2000, IC9100  and you are miles ahead.
