Re: Re: [amsat-bb] Commerciat 2.4 GHz sats

[tomb@xxxxxxxx (Thomas H. Busch)]

The allocation is 2.33-2.34 GHz.

There is an interesting article on these at

>From what I can see on the FCC web site, it looks like they are specifically authorized to
operate at 2332.5-2345 MHz.  Also, they have an STA to operate terrestrial repeaters in this
band, supposedly to help coverage in cities, where high buildings tend to block reception of
satellite signals.  It'd be cool to know where these are, to provide more sources for tuning.  It
apparently has local broadcasters up in arms, though, figuring that XM might start local
programming.
