In time for the 1-year anniversary of the successful commissioning of the two transponders of Qatar-OSCAR 100, an encore is pending:

The capacity of the NB transponder will be expanded from about 250 KHz to almost 500 KHz.

In addition to extended areas for the various operating modes, more space is also being created in particular for "mixed mode" and other special operating cases. In addition to frequencies reserved for emergency radio operations, more experiments are to be made possible here.

But all this only with a maximum bandwidth of 2.7 kHz.

Automatic operation requires a special license from the local licensing authorities and must be coordinated with the operator beforehand; this task is performed by AMSAT-DL on behalf of QARS and Es'hailSat.

To take account of user behavior, AMSAT-DL has almost doubled the SSB range in particular.
