I'd have thought that would be fine, assuming your feeder is fairly short or
you have a preamp. FWIW my setup is 9+9 element cross Yagi with a preamp at
the mast.

Maybe: I'm using one of the speaker outputs of a TS-2000 but it's a
separately driven output, not in parallel with the speaker itself.

Previously you said that this was your first time trying to RX the digi
birds. I was wondering if the ISS or PCSat may be easier for starters as
they're standard AFSK on 2m so (a) the Doppler is a lot less and (b) any
minor Doppler deviation has little affect on the ability to demodulate
signal.
