[amsat-bb] PCSAT & PCSAT2

[Jerry Weihrauch <k0hzi@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The last couple of days passes over my QTH, South St Paul, MN   Have not 
copied PCSAT NO-44.  Are the solar flares effecting reception?  Using a 
Kenwood TH-7A(G) sitting on the roof of my car.  Have had a few connects 
with PCSAT NO-44 last week and once over the weekend.  PCSAT2 even with 
tune feature enabled and starting at +10 KHz and move down in 5 KHz 
increments down to -10 KHz,. all I received was "PCSAT2, the quote 
symbol was part of the display a few times.  Tried transmitting but 
guess I didn't get in.

Any advice about using the dual band hand held Arrow antenna with the 
TH-7, does one need the duplexer on at the antenna feed point on the mast?

TIA,
