25 Mar '10

Hi! For anyone planning on attending the Tucson spring hamfest on Saturday, 27 March 2010, there has been a last-minute change of location. It will now be hosted in a parking lot next to the Tucson Electric Park baseball stadium, a few blocks west of the normal site at Kino Sports Complex. The stadium is on Ajo Way, east of the I-10 freeway. The Radio Society of Tucson will have signs showing the new location on Saturday morning. All other details regarding the hamfest remain unchanged, and I will be there with an AMSAT table and still do satellite demonstrations throughout the morning. 73!

Doppler Tracking ... Recent Radios
by Clive Wallis 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Hi, The thread about Doppler tracking with an FT-726 has reminded me of a problem I have with an FT-736. I got this radio some time after developing the interface for the 726. I've noticed that when the 736 is under CAT control, none of the manual controls work. I'm wondering whether this applies also to the FT-847 an the ICOM 910 rigs? One advantage of the method used on the FT-726 was that I could trim out any errors in Doppler correction with the manual tuning control knob. This proved very useful for BPSK telemetry. As an alternative, do any of the modern tracking programs allow easy manual correction of RX frequency during a pass? Any comments would be much appreciated. 73 Clive G3CWV Hitchin, North Hertfordshire, UK
