[chirp_users] Using Chirp to set up FT-60 for satellite comm
Hi all,
I know that satellite communications works best with two radios operating duplex, but I also learned that sat comm can be accomplished using a Yaesu FT-60. Is there a way that Chirp can be used to set up the VHF uplink and UHF downlink? Or can anyone guide me in the right direction for tutorial or instruction? Thanks!

Check the manual under Split Shifts, I think it is. Don’t have the book in front of me.

Hi Tip,
Page 28 of the FT-60 manual covers the topic of manually programming "Odd Splits". The receive and transmit frequencies can be set independently, including different bands (I just tried it!).
I have used chirp to program my ft-60 but not this specific crossband VHF/UHF configuration. But I do not see any reason not to try it.
Here is an article about this: http://www.gatorradio.org/FT60R_Satellite.html

up link is 1 frequency your downlink is what changes due to Doppler shift. so you program several channels into your HT all using the upling and just change the downlink by 5 khz. Check out Randy K7AGE satellite video on YouTube.

this will help you to understand it all.
