[Elecraft] Elecraft and satellite communications

[David Giles]

Hello John,

So far I've listened to a few of the OSCARs with the K2 and an old 70cm 
transverter and it works very well.  The main problem is using it for the 
uplink - it won't change frequency while transmitting.  Also it can only be 
used for the SSB/CW birds.  With a decent transverter it  is an excellent 
downlink receiver.
Despite all this, mine will get quite a lot of use when P3E and EAGLE get into 
space.
