Re: [amsat-bb] Conifer MDS Downconverter

[K5OE@xxxxxxx]

Joe,
I have not seen mark's units (yet), but other Conifer DC's I have seen have a 
F-connector test port, usually -10 dB or -20 dB.  The Conifer preamps have 
two F-connectors also, but that is so you can route the 12 Vdc thru the 
preamp to the DC.
73,
