Hi Gang, 

For those using an SDR for Rx downlink with a transciever for uplink, I'm curious about choice of antennas (..other than the main station Tx ones) Discones, Beams, humble verticals - what are you all using for best effect??

I am using Eggbeater antennas for both VHF and UHF. They are omnidirectional, so I can receive all satellites at the same time. I also tried Turnstile Moxon, did not see any difference from the Eggbeaters. For two-way QSO the best solution is to share directional the antennas between the transceiver and the SDR, e.g., using PTRX-9700.
