Re: [amsat-bb] Vo-52 Daft Question

[Andrew Glasbrenner <glasbrenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In my experience in the US most only tune one frequency. While we should be all either tuning both with a computer, or the higher frequency if manual tuning, not everyone does this. Many are so used to Mode J or Mode U/S that they end up tuning just the receive and sliding across the passband much farther. It's an education thing, and sometimes hams can be damn hard-headed. That passband can get crowded when everyone is moving in different directions.

Hope that helps, for what it's worth.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Vo-52 Daft Question

While listening to a recent VO-52 pass it became clear to me that many users 
were not compensating for Doppler effect. Surely the preferred way of using 
VO-52 and similar is to apply frequency correction?

I would like to point out that I am very inexperienced in this area - this 
is an honest question, not an attempt to start a bitch-fest :-)
