Auto-doppler tracking works great for FM, but SSB seems to be more of a moving target at times.\n\nAs someone else mentioned, the ability to record audio with the SDR app is great, too. One thing that might not be obvious is recording the entire band, not just the frequency you’re working. For SSB satellites, on playback, you can tune over to other signals and listen to other QSO’s if you’re curious to see who else was on.\n\nBut take my experience with a grain of salt – I do much more telemetry reception than voice satellite work.\n\n-Scott, K4KDR\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nFrom: Bob Cutter \nSent: Wednesday, June 08, 2016 12:21 PM\nTo: Scott ; [email protected] \nSubject: Re: [amsat-bb] SDRPlay and Satellites\n\nWhat software are you using? \n\nBob KI0G\n\n====================================\n\nOn Wednesday, June 8, 2016, 9:50 AM, Scott <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n Matt, I put the \"amateur\" in amateur radio, but I find that the SDRPlay \n works great for satellite reception (FM or SSB).\n\n I only have FM transmit capability, but I often monitor the SSB satellite \n passes and it sure makes it easy to have a visual indication of where the \n downlink signals are located.

Back when I was active 4-5 years ago I was\n working FM only and now want to get back into it and try FO-29 and AO-7\n as well. I purchased a SDRPlay with the hopes of using it as the\n downlink receive and already have a Yaesu FT-857 (that I'll set to low\n power) or a cheap Chinese HT as my uplink depending on the satellite.\n Are there any others out there who use the SDRPlay for this purpose? I\n know Patrick (WD9EWK) has used one before and I have been corresponding\n with him via e-mail but was just curious if there were any others out\n there that do as well.\n\n 73 Matt\n W5LL\n EM23DP \n", "attachments": [] }
