Decode list for digital sats
by Chris Bloy 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hi All, Being a newbie, I am trying to put together a list for other new members so that they know what software is used to decode beacons and telem.. For example :- ANDE : 1200 AFSK Downlink – TNC, Soundcard TNC – UI-View & Other APRS software AO27, Voice & Packet Telem – TNC, Soundcard TNC What would you use to decode AO16’s packet? If I could have your ideas, I will start the list and host it somewhere.. Thanks., Chris No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Re: Multiple Satellites in View

JoAnne, et al: Yep...I tried adding ANDE-1 into my path, but wasn't able to hit both. Only after I changed my path to ANDE-1 was I able to get into it individually. Also....I noticed that in a prior posting, someone mentioned that ANDE was going to re-enter orbit...(which I knew), but that PCSAT was going to "die". I'm assuming that this is in reference to it going into eclipse for a while? (Of all of the APRS/PACSATS, NO-44/PCSAT has been the easiest and most consistent to operate through.) Well...I think I'm going to try GO-32 when I get home later.

Multiple Satellites in View
by John Marranca, Jr 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Hello everybody. Just commenting on this morning's satellite passes. PCSAT was coming over for an almost 90 degree pass, when just over the horizon, ANDE-1, with one foot in the grave, came into view. So, after changing the path from PCSAT to ANDE-1, I was able to work both. I attempted to double-hop through them, but the frequency swing was a bit too great I suspect. Nevertheless, it was still fun to work multiple satellites. 73 everyone, John KB2HSH -- _______________________________ John Marranca, Jr PBX Technician/Shop Steward CWA Local 1122 BN Systems, Inc Orchard Park, NY (716)972-2006

As soon as PCSAT-1 dies in a week or so and ANDE re-enters in 4 weeks or so, then Im gonna get back and fan the flames for more people to exercise their ability (any time, anywhere) with their HT to send an email via GO32. Lets see, you are in Main, and his IGate is in Europe! Yep, nice haul for a 5W HT... 2007 11/11 22:59:55 : KB1GVR-9]4TSV1W,4XTECH*,qAo,EI7IG:``6yl!tk/]"4C}U 2007 11/11 22:58:58 : KB1GVR-9]4TSV1W,4XTECH*,qAo,EI7IG:``6yl!tk/]"4C}U 2007 11/11 22:57:29 : KB1GVR-9]4TSV1W,4XTECH*,qAo,EI7IG:``6yl!tk/]"4C}U

G-5400 az rotator repair
by James Sharp 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

I picked up a G5400 az-el system. I discovered, though, that the entire resolver assembly inside the az rotator is missing. Apparently, it was a "repair in progress" that never got finished. I called Yaesu and got a replacement gear, but they no longer carry the resolver pot. Anyone have an idea on where I can get one? p.s. I'm not actually subscribed to the amsat-bb list, so please CC me directly on replies. Thanks.

ic-pcr1500 + Satellite + Doppler ???

ok gracias por responder pero la AFC no es muy buena ya que aveces se atrasa mucho con respecto al satelites al parecer no hay muchos software compatibles aun con el ic-pcr1500 no me quejo no es tan mal receptor me agrado pero me gustaria tener un software o que el wisp se encargara sola de marcar las frecuencias cada ves que pasa un bird Saludos Raul CE3SOC --------------------------------------------------------------------- > "Are you still wasting your time with spam?... > There is a solution!" > > Protected by GIANT Company's Spam Inspector > The most powerful anti-spam software available. > http://mail.spaminspector.com > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Patrick STODDARD" <patrick(a)wd9ewk.net> > To: "CE3SOC Raul Romero" <ce3soc(a)gmail.com> > Sent: Monday, November 12, 2007 12:53 AM > Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] ic-pcr1500 + Satellite + Doppler ??? > > >> Hola, Raul! >> >> Perdon mi espanol imperfecto. >> >>> Hello ask someone help me say that software >>> And as I run icom ic-pcr1500 to continue in the form and schedule >>> automatic satellites as their frequencies for the automatic doppler >> >> Satelites de FM, SSB/CW, o ambos?
