Re: [sarex] ISS frequencies
by David Barber 20 Jan '09

For those interested: 19.50utc UK / Europe Pass ISS back in standard U / v mode. Tx: 437.800MHz +/- Doppler - Rx: 145.800Mhz +/- Doppler - No Tone. David G8OQW -----Original Message----- From: sarex-bounces(a)AMSAT.Org [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tom Sent: 20 January 2009 18:29 To: sarex(a)AMSAT.Org Subject: [sarex] ISS frequencies Does anyone know if the ISS will continue to use the v/u freqs 145.99 67hz up and 437.8 down or will they revert back to the other v/u frequencies? Seems that the new freqs are much easier to use since dopler shift is less a problem on the uplink. It also appears that the u/v repeater is off. Does anyone know the schedule?

Re: re antenna seperation.

Gus M0IKB said : > .. .. how far apart do I need to space .. .. I don't know your specific antennas, and may not provide much help with this - but over the years the question has come up more than once... Several years back I had posted some spacing/phasing information on my website, and Google still sends people looking for the old files. I've added a new page that has this old information, if it helps any. http://wb5rmg.somenet.net/2009/20090119.html - Your mileage may vary. Others may have better answers. Let us know what works best for you. 73 /;^) -- <- Licensed in 1976, WB5RMG = Alan Sieg * AMSAT#20554 -> <- http://www.somenet.net * http://wb5rmg.somenet.net -> <- http://www.linkedin.com/in/alansieg * My 'Day Job' ->

Sat688 Satellite Antenna Tracking Interface ??
by William Liporace - WC2L 19 Jan '09

19 Jan '09

Good Evening, I am looking at finally getting my controller on the air. I have it hooked up to a G-5400G rotor. Under SatPC32 it appears to only give you com port access (1-4). Under Nova, it only gives you com 1-8. Linux does not seem to mind any thing, but I can not get rotctl to work. Is there a program that works with this unit that does not limit com ports?? Any one using Ham Radio Deluxe? Can it work with HRD? Is there any one that has this working under Linux? Any one using a TS-790 in either OS? I know there are more questions, but I have not gotten this to work. TNX es 73 Will WC2L
