- tonyarkles 2y agoWhat they don’t have is high accuracy pointing. If you want to listen to activity on 128MHz at a specific military base from GEO you’re going to be getting a huge amount of interference from everything else in CONUS on the same frequency. At LEO you can do much much better pointing with your antenna.
- Xylakant 2y agoGeostationary is only possible on very specific orbits - over the equator on one height. Any other orbit cannot be geostationary.
