I have worked several stations on AO-27 using only
a HT and a 1/4 wave wip antenna. "It can be done!"
AO-27, 145.850 MHz FM up
436.800 MHz FM dn
AO-27 is only a part time amateur satellite FM repeater, weekends
ONLY! During amateur usage, its on solar panel engery only. This
means the satellite needs to be on the sunny side of its orbit
(daytime at your QTH).
Be sure to adjust for doppler shift. At the beginning of the pass,
start listening around 436.805 to 436.810 MHz and tune downward
as the pass proceedes. At the end of the pass, you will be tuning
around 436.760 MHz

It is OK for you to use RS-10 with a no code licence. You are only txing
on two meters! Call AMSAT if you are still not sure! 73 Rupert
