Ev,
It’s outside my area of expertise, though I do have a keen interest in it. I
just think that an “optical transverter” makes a lot of sense considering how
many of us rovers are out there using transverters already.
In any event, the VUCC rule needs to be changed to agree with the contest
rules, and allow those who are using LED’s vs. lasers to seek the award credit
at the same time.
I’ll look into the “SLR” model to learn more about that. Thanks for sharing.
73,

I tried to find "SSB" in that project as hard as I could, but didn't find it
either. This could simply a first step in a journey that eventually will.
As for aligning TX source and RX detector to maximize pointing alignment, there
are other ways...including the "SLR" model.
