Re: [amsat-bb] Variable RF (output)

["Bill Acito" <w1pa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I thought of the slight offset of the uplink 
beam, and it seems like a logical solution, especially since I will be 
"portable"... beam and small dish on tripods. I have two 11 element yagis 
for 435 that I will phase for circular (elliptical?) polarization.

Another question: Is there a similar modification like the 847 receive mod 
just mentioned documented for the FT-290? After all the work I spent on the 
DEM downconverter, I would hate to smoke it by not powering up in the right 
sequence.
