[amsat-bb] Yaesu FT991A on the sats

[Eli Caul]

I use a pair of 991A on sideband and FM, and I’ve had pretty good luck with them.  It is -not- full duplex, sadly.

My only other experience was with a borrowed 9100, and I didn’t notice any difference between it and the 991.

As far as the band scope goes, it seems to work best on 2m.  I sometimes wish the display was larger.

Best,

Has anyone used the Yaesu FT991A on the satellites?  Does the bandscope
really help to find people in the downlink passband?  Also, how does it do
on the FM satellites?  The QST review made it look like it is kind of deaf
on FM.
