The FM SATs decode discreet frequencies. The PL Tone goes up as 67 Hz
and is detected only at that particular freq.
The Linear SATs receive a wide bandpass and the incoming signals are
beat against the SAT local oscillator and the resultant freq is the
differential. Therefore, the resultant freqs are different based upon
that differential. With multiple signals coming up to the SAT on their
different freqs within the bandpass, which one would only have exactly
67 Hz? Tune across any HF Band with CW/SSB signals and you'll hear the
result of multiple signals/freqs.

I guess there might be a very simple answer:
On FM (one channel) satellites without the PL tone, any unwanted signal can
mess it up for everyone; on linear satellites any unwanted signal (uplink)
will mess up only a small portion (specific downlink frequency) and the
rest is still available. Bottom line PL tones on FM sats helps all of us.
No PL tones on linear sats will not be a significant problem.
My simple mind :-)

Note this FT-726 modification for the PB2441A module (Rx Unit)
http://www.agder.net/la8ak/b51.htm
Yaesu FT-726
LA7BI wasn't satisfied with the audio quality of his FT726. First he tried
to improve the AGC, and some improvement was found, but still it was some
distortion.
The datasheet for uPC1037H (Q13) was studied and it seems that the
operational voltage on PB2441A No.20 was too high. The same device is used
in other transceivers like Icom IC-740 without any problems. The resistor
R83=56 ohm was increased to 120-150 ohm for +6V voltage on the IC. The
quality is much improved. On later transceivers like Yaesu FT-736 they've
gone back to the conventional ring modulator, obviously aware of the problem.

Actually Paul, I have to disagree with your comments.
It would be best if either SatPC32 was reprogrammed to allow for seamless
and automatic updates when new satellites are launch, or if someone would
write a completely new piece of software with this capability.
SatPC32 may be the best available (I think it is after trying them all) but
it?s hardly a user-friendly piece of software. Amateur satellite
communications offers one of the most cutting edge areas of our hobby, but
the premiere software package available doesn?t begin to compare to things
like WSJT, CWSkimmer, or other software tools that we have available.
I?d rather have AMSAT fund one less satellite and instead funnel those
resources towards the development of a satellite tracking and rig control
software that performs better.
Maybe we should start a crowd-sourcing project.

SatPC32 is an excellent piece of software and well supported by DK1TB. I
have used it often and it works well. Many of us have had great, almost
real-time support from the author. My hats off to Eric for helping many
operators get on the satellites. Many users use it and it supports AMSAT.
Thank you Eric!??
Working in the software industry, I too feel it is time to create the next
generation of software that takes the excellent technology of SatPC, adds
the beautiful display of Nova, creates easy updating of satellite profiles
and keps, all on multiple platforms for Windows, Linux and Mac.? This is
being done today for FLDIGI and WSJT for example.? There is no reason the
software can't be brought to the next level.
We already have many new satellites to work? FM and linear SSB/CW. If we are
to encourage new users to get on the linear satellites, we will need
software that encourages exploration in this area. With cheap SDR receivers,
it is possible the reduce the cost of a linear setup. We are even starting
to see small SDR transceivers hit the market that would would easily fit the
bill for small stations that would make great starter stations and great
stations for rovers. There are so many possibilities!
There are many great programs that are available for satellite operators
today. Each program has something that we would use in our daily oprations.?
I think we have an opportunity to come up with a list of "must have"
features from all these programs and bring them into one well thought out
piece of software that meets today's state of the art for satellite tracking
and operations.
I would like AMSAT and its membership give some serious thought about such a
project. We have plenty of satellites at the moment and other organizations
are sending up more. Now is a good time to consider putting an open source
software program together to create the next generation software to help new
users embrace all the new satellites, help increase enjoyment for current
users and expand opportunities for the super users to try even more.? See
what FLDIGI did for digital and see what WSJT-X has done for waking up dead
bands with FT8. We should be able to do the same based on past work and
create a new satellite tracking program for the next generation of
operators.? I am sure we have some excellent coders in our community and new
operators with coding skills that could add to the project.?
Operating on satellites is fun but not easy, as the cliche goes: if it was
easy everybody would do it.?Full disclosure, I was a long time AMSAT member
but let my membership drop due to a job loss a few years ago.I am seriously
considering joining AMSAT again and such a project would get me to sign up
in an instance. My checkbook is ready.?

Actually Paul, I have to disagree with your comments.
It would be best if either SatPC32 was reprogrammed to allow for seamless
and automatic updates when new satellites are launch, or if someone would
write a completely new piece of software with this capability.
SatPC32 may be the best available (I think it is after trying them all) but
it?s hardly a user-friendly piece of software. Amateur satellite
communications offers one of the most cutting edge areas of our hobby, but
the premiere software package available doesn?t begin to compare to things
like WSJT, CWSkimmer, or other software tools that we have available.
I?d rather have AMSAT fund one less satellite and instead funnel those
resources towards the development of a satellite tracking and rig control
software that performs better.
Maybe we should start a crowd-sourcing project.
