  • Yea! 50 and 51 work great! Need help with VO-52 now (I do have HF....)

  • Why two radios? Is it because they're not dual band?

  • Radio on the right is dual band, but only used for 440 receive/downlink. On the left is single band for 2-meter transmit/uplink. One radio would be nicer, but my dual bander does not split between both bands, other models will. I started with the dual bander (and Arrow duplexer) successfully, but would have to transmit, then manually change channel to receive...clumsy. Two radios lets me worry only about keying the mic AND I can hear myself coming back from the satellite (full duplex).

  • Am i seeing things or did you mount the arrow 90 degrees from how you would mount a camera?...I can only get 40 deg. elev. with mine

  • nice video great job with the antenna i plan on get one at the next hamfeast here good luck and 73's

  • this never ceases to amaze me. I got my ticket because of this & k7age's videos.

  • Never mind I answered my own question. Nice setup. Just need to improve on the sound.

  • One thing I noticed or perhaps its small and not very noticible but you don't have an inclinometer on your antenna. Are you just guessing?

  • Thats it! An Arrow II is on my shopping list for Dayton! Great job!
