@scott23192 I see that the 1m dish can go to 11GHz with the 2.8 mm mesh hole size. And that particular Kuhne downconverter is for S-band. So how do you switch to receive C-band & X-band?
@ARISS_Intl@scott23192 Listen for W3ZM/8, AMSAT’s call sign, this Friday & Saturday from Hamvention at Xenia, OH. AMSAT members will be demonstrating FM & SSB QSOs both days. Not sure if APRS mode will be part of the demos.
@scott23192@K0FFY_Radio@n6rfm The calc says ~18” pizza pan is needed for a 420 MHz ant. The photos of Scott’s & Bob’s antennas look like they settled for a medium pie (12”) instead of a large (18”). Based on the positive performance reports, this must not be a critical parameter. Is this observation correct?
@scott23192 I love that thing! You might remember that I twisted-up a couple of those units about a year ago after we discussed parameters. I’m in an antenna-difficult QTH, but I can throw one of those out in the clear and see how it does.
