Tips on Operating Linear Amateur Radio Satellites (Part 1)

[@K7LZZ]

This video kicked butt...Great info...Thank you!

[@BastHoen]

Fantastic video! Thank you! I'm a newbie on the satellites, and your videos help big time. Now playing around with RS44. Keep up the great work! 73 Bas PA5BAS

Oh dude, yeah. That's some real space age, SciFi, special forces, coms. Cool stuff. Definitely going to try this when I can. Thought FM was the only option.

Great video and I hope to eventually be attempting to do this! I have an off-topic question. I am curious about the lavalier mic you are using in this video - what kind is that?

[@povern]

Another great vid Sean!!,!!

Great Video, Sean !!

[@wildbill1]

Thanks for the videos. I’m just getting into satellites and your videos are very helpful!

Great video! Hutch, NK0S

[@roberts3942]

Just what I was looking for. Thanks. K4PYA

[@xray9alpha]

Thanks for the great video! I'm thinking my IC-705 as a transmitter and Kenwood D74 as the recording receiver would work for this...

And suggestions on an alternative for the 818 since it is discontinued

[@jim-m5f]

Hi ! Do i need the Diplexer on the transsmit side or the reveive side ???? Thanks for the Help , i just got myself 2 yaesu ft-817

Great video Sean - thanks! 73 de KI4ASK

Incredible content again. Wow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge about linear satellites. I’d like to use this video as well on my KZbin channel to help expand the knowledge of working a linear satellite. I’ll be sure to credit the DX engineering channel as well as you on this Sean. Terrific work my friend. Larry de K7HN

Great info here! When using an 817/818 for linear satellites, do you need to install an ssb filter?

[@F5PZQ]

hello I have the same system as you, but I have a problem connecting a headset microphone to my ft818, can you explain to me how to do it, what equipment do you use thank you

[@CrittendenIV]

Thank you so much for your help! I really appreciate it, man. :)

How can I use two hts with same antenna ?

[@NICKGAR7]

Make or buy a single boom antenna with 2 sets elements (one set 435MHz, one set 144MHz). An Arrow2 without the duplexer is good so you have 2 x ants, 2 x leads and 2 x rigs. Get 2 x coax leads, one to each radio. Label one Ht for 145MHz and tune it correct freq. similarly for other on 435. Program the uplink ht with correct CTCSS tone. One in each top pocket of a jacket, a headset or speaker mic is good too...Give it a go. Can be tricky at first but comes naturally with practice. Best to start on FM sats with uplink in 435 and d/l on 145 band to avoid harmonic interference (which you can get with u/l 145, d/l 435). 73 Nick M1DDD (a few basic vids on my YT channel)
