Phase changes due to rapid manoeuvre-induced changes in the antenna orientation may be a problem.

Bingo.

Dave, this is the issue, not the doppler shift. If the antennas are not oriented correctly you will have massive signal fade, almost infinite, but for sure -20 to -40 dB.

If you fly around level, or close to it, and hold the handhelds antenna correctly, you might get by. So the maneuvers are the thing, not the speed.

Comments?
