What does it mean if a satellite is operating in U/V mode?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. The satellite uplink is in the 70-centimeter band and the downlink is in the 2-meter band
U/V mode means the uplink is in the 70-centimeter band (UHF) and the downlink is in the 2-meter band (VHF). The first letter is the uplink and the second letter is the downlink. It has nothing to do with ultraviolet light.
Tip: First letter up, second letter down.
