Help!
I've had a lot of trouble with S band. I'm using a K5GNA converter with
dipole reflector and either an FT817 or HT. I've also tried a patch
antenna and a helix. The results are always the same: very strong signals
(and a few QSOs), but usually in very short fragments. A syllable or two
or three and then nothing, with the signal having disappeared into the
noise. Doppler is not the problem in this case. I've tried an in-line
attenuator with no better results.
What am I doing wrong?
Tnx and 73,
Tony, N2UN
