Re: [sarex] ISS FREQUENCIES

["Frank H. Bauer" <fbauer@xxxxxxxxx>]

Arthur,

I am sorry you feel this way.  We have been struggling on the subject of 
human spaceflight frequencies since Owen Garriott's flight 17 years ago and 
this is our best compromise from an international perspective.  I will tell 
you that being the frequency coordinator for human spaceflight is a 
thankless job.

There is a simple solution for you and all the newbies out there.  This is 
one I personally have used on occasion.  It works particularly well if you 
have a memory select knob.

Program your rig's memory with the uplink in one memory channel and the 
downlink in another memory channel.  Both will be set to simplex.  Transmit 
on the uplink memory channel and switch over to listen on the downlink 
memory channel.

I hope this helps.
