Mark

You can also monitor the WB beacon downlink using the Ryde receiver, once you have a signal above the receive threshold (see photo, CAT24 beacon on 1.2m).

Using the narrow-band transponder there is a lot more C/N to play with and it is much more forgiving of non-optimised pointing. Typically with my 90cm for uplink/downlink on the NB transponder, lower beacon C/N is >30dB. Uplinking SSB uses about 4W with a POTY feed.

On the wideband transponder, pointing is more critical.

How did you point the uplink dish in the first place?
