I bought a Comstream CM 701 Modem thru eBay. It has an input card but
I cant find information on what frequency the card is designed to
accept. The IF input card is marked 5MB Modem.
If there is anyone reading this and is willing to point me to where I
can
find information on the Comstream horizontal card (plig-in), I'd sure
appreciate knowing where I can find it.

Hi Ken

Thanks for the reference. I read it (again). Actually, I scanned it.
The information in that manual is difficult for me to understand. Still, I
gain a little more understanding about this"BPSK" system each time I reread
the documents.
My original goal was to assemble an antenna with the needed amplifiers and
demodulators so I can see NOAA's Earth images on the computer monitor.
When I began this project I thought the demodulator would be easy to 'hook
up'. That was a big mistake. The BPSK demodulation is like a seperate
science.

It appears that I need to find a proper card for this CM 701. I find no
reference to the "5MB Modem card in the CM701 I now have.
