My new Kuhne MKU 23 G4 transverter covers certain segements of the band. so I switched to 2304 – 2306 MHz and tried to listen on an IF around 148.037 MHz and was disappointed: nil. I expected a strong signal as the same beacon on 1296.050 MHz ist up to 40 dB above noise under normal conditions.<\/p>\n

<\/a>A weak trace can be seen at the IF of 1392.032 MHz (LO 916 MHz)<\/strong><\/h5>\nI contacted Dominique and he assured, the beacon should be on air. So I tried with the setup, I received ISEE-3 quite a time ago and monitored the path for airplanes. So after a short while, there was a trace to be seen on 2308.032 MHz. Even the keyed carrier could be heard deep in the noise, when larger aircrafts crossed or flew along the path.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Characteristic “hook” at the begin of the carrier after keying the call<\/strong><\/h5>\nSo I proudly added beacon #23 to my 13 cm list.<\/p>\n
