[amsat-bb] EO-80 FM Transponder Tested (noise floor?)

[Nicholas Mahr]

I notice 2M has a high noise floor when im working AO-7, Theres a few same
spots on the passband that have these giant swooshing sounds/etc, It wont
be a problem on EO-80 as I as well have found it dosent affect me on FM,
maybe EO-79. Looks like we wont have to wait for FOX-1 in september to
cover for SO-50... Its really hard to do portable FM operations here where
I live, theres lots of trees, so it makes working SO-50 very difficult
because of its 250 mw power, I wish they would just increase the power on
the thing.
