SASI SAT Tracker
by jcowens1＠comcast.net 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

I have an SASI Sat Tracker unit that was once used to interface with my G5400B rotator controller. I believe, based on my notes, that this device is compatible with Nova for Windows software for automatic rotator control. Please correct me if I am wrong. I am hoping to find someone who still has Nova for Windows gathering dust and is willing to part with it (in other words, has moved on beyond it). Without this S/W my belief is that the SASI tracker is of lilttle use to me.Your help would be appreciated. John Owens - N7TK Celebrating over 50 Years in Ham Radio No. 1 Honor Roll

RE;....2401MHZ Beacon query
by Charlie -K3VDB- 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hello AMSAT;.......Regarding my earlier message copied below asking for reports of the usage of our 2401MHZ beacon. We have received sufficient positive reports to continue to maintain this 24/7 beacon. I would like to thank all that responded with your comments and hope to hear from you from time to time with signal and TLM reports. Charlie K3VDB ----------------Quoted Message--------------------------------- Hello AMSAT;......I am trying to determine if the W3HMS beacon on 2401MHZ is being use by the Satellite community located in South Central PA. We have not received any reports for some time and will not continue to support it if not needed. It Is located in FM19qv (S/E of York PA.). For those who are not familiar with it, it has been on 24/7 for >3 years and located at 1000ft on a 130ft tower. Its output is 1W to a RHCP Lindenblad Ant. Its CW Message contains 5 Telemetering (TLM) channels and about 15 sec of solid carrier (then it repeat). A spread sheet TLM decoder is available on request. The beacon is useful for Receive system testing and propagation analyzing etc. The 2401MHZ beacon is co-located with a 1296MHZ beacon and a 5760MHZ beacon. More info is available at k3vdb(a)amsat.org Please Let me know if any of these beacons are useful to you!!! Charlie

W0LMD Sat Tracker Jr. hunting/deadband problem
by Bobby Lacey 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hi all I have a W0LMD sat tracker jr. that I've connected to my PC for automation. Right now, I'm using Nova to control the rotor and SatPC32 to control the radio (I would like to use just SatPC32 for both, but I dont see an option to set a max elevation since my elevation can't go above 60 degrees). The problem is that every pass starts out fine, but as it gets going, the azimuth rotor starts rocking and hunting. It literally jerks the antennas back and forth until I turn off the G-5400. I have the rotor set up in Nova using Easycomm (and tried Novacom), but the "Deadband" boxes are greyed out. Would anyone have a alternative solution or be able to help me off list? Thanks in advance! 73 Bobby KF4GTA http://www.bobbylacey.com/KF4GTA/stats
