Omni Antenna of Choice
by Eric Christensen 03 Oct '06

03 Oct '06

I want to put together an unmanaged digital satellite station for PACSATs and maybe NO-44. If you had the option of different omni antennas which would you use? I was thinking of eggbeaters but I know of other choices as well. Are there better options? 73s, Eric KF4OTN Sent via BlackBerry from SunCom Wireless

SatPC32 Problem
by Lawn, Richard 02 Oct '06

02 Oct '06

I've been enjoying SatPC32 for quite some time running on an old HP PIII running Windows ME. It suddenly started to create problems. Now when I open the application it takes control of my FT-847 through CAT port but the main map/control screen never opens, however, the application appears below in the applications bar as though it were running. It also fails to call up the FodTrack DDE client. Any suggestions or has anyone encountered similar problems? 73 Rick W2JAZ
