What is meant by the “mode” of an amateur radio satellite?
Pick an answer to check it.
Answer: B. The satellite's uplink and downlink frequency bands
A satellite's mode describes which frequency bands it uses for the uplink and the downlink. It has nothing to do with orbit type or orientation.
Tip: Mode = uplink band / downlink band.
