I'm working with a group that's having a problem decoding 9600 baud data. They are using a 9600 baud modem and an Icom 910H rig. Through testing, they believe the rig is the problem. Does this sound like a familiar problem to anyone? Are there any mods that need to be done to the rig to receive 9600 baud?

I have my original satellite setup For Sale, which is the Kenwood Twins, the 711A and 811A. Used up until 2 months ago when I got a new Xcvr. Both in good op conditions and physical condition. Asking $350 each. Email me off-line for more info and pix. Can be seen at my QRZ.com page.

Hi Luc, VE2DWE
To solve the above problem you must use a "captivated" N female connector in
wich the central pin is NOT alloved to move under pression while pushing the
central pin of the N male connector.

Hola jlv
La traduccion en espanol es la siguiente
Hola Luc, VE2DWE
Para resolver tu problema es necesario utilizar dentro el amplificador un
conector coaxial expecial tipo N hembra nombrado "captivated" en ingles
es decir que tene el pin central bloqueado dentro en el teflon asi que este
pin no pode tener algun movimiento horizontal quando le pone y atornilla
el conector N macho que hace fuerza sovre él con la punta del cable coaxial.
Espero que ahora lo entende.

I was just on the 05:20 UTC pass with great coverage over Alaska, Part of western VE and 1/3 of Western CONUS.
Not a single taker for BL02 Hawaii. I know there are many of you that need HI for their WAS. I know it is late on your end, but if I can make the effort so can you.
I just want to make sure there are people out there reading the AMSAT BB when I will be operating otherwise I will not spend time getting on the air.
Ultimately I am on vacation and making the effort when I have the time.

Folks,
We had some torrential rains and very heavy wind this morning. There was no way for me to operate the 3/29/2010 15:57 UTC AO7 pass. We are expecting more heavy wind all day but the rains have at least stopped. Essentially there has been heavy rain every morning but today was the worst. Think of going through a car wash.
Here is my operational schedule for today
3/30/2010 All times UTC
CONUS contacts:
FO-29 @ 03:38 UTC
FO-29 @ 05:20 UTC
VO-52 @ 06:15 UTC
JA contacts:
I will have a partial pass to JA during FO-29 pass at 07:07 UTC. I will be looking for JA 's on SSB only.
I can only make about half the pass as I have a house in the way but I will try. There are some mountains in the distance but the satellite may be able to clear them. I guess we will just have to try and see.
All for now. Going to get some rest since I am on vacation.
I am starting to look at the HO-68 schedule to see what opportunities open up in the coming days.
Aloha, Adrian AA5UK/KH6
Mode V/S is fantastic but again QRMed by spanish speaking intruders a taxi fleet "probably" from Mexico they where right on 145.880 Mhz or
very near this frequency the dispatcher was calling for all "Per todos" car. It will nice from our Mexican friends if they can at least pin
point the origin of the transmission could be someone can at least ask them to move away from the satellite segment?
De l' interferencia se constató esta mañana sobre 145.880MHZ la frecuencia de subido sobre AO-51. El QRM "parece" proceder d' una flota de
taxi en México. Si nuestros amigos Mexicanos podrían señalar dan un primer tiempo l' origen de esta interferencia y preguntar en un segundo
momento si estado en condiciones de cambiar de frecuencia fuera de la banda de transmisión de los satélites aficionado.
Muchas gracias para l' ayuda de nuestros colegas Mexicanos
Nota: Es posible que l' interferencia pueda originer d' otro país del Centroamérica tambien

I now own a new Elecraft K3 and wondering about its use (with xvtrs)
on satellite. I have the dual-Rx set up and is capable of full
duplex operation. It has computer control via an RS-232 I/F (built
in). Just wondering if anyone else has gone this direction? If it
is possible then I may consider retiring my FT-847.

145.88 up, 2401.200 down. I'd appreciate daily reports about the S band
transmitter, either emailed or posted to http://oscar.dcarr.org/
