[amsat-bb] Re: Dutch transponder versus the Indian transponder.

Hi Michael, HB9WDF

I think we have another problem too: Since the Dutch transponder is very
sensitive someone will attempt to use it in FM using an HT and arrow
antenna.

Hi Domenico

I think we have also another problem: In the last few years, the OP's
growing up without fullduplex TRX (Ic-706 and similar) and use the ssb sat.
They can't hear her own downlink signal from the bird.
