Hello to the AMSAT brain trust. I am new to satellites and have a new
person question:
> Is there any way to utilize a WIFI (2.4 GHZ, 13cm) USB dongle (with
SMA ant. port) into a gain antenna, and successfully receive the S-band
downlink from AO-51? This is a 13cm transceiver, but I suspect the
answer is no. I already have a 24db gain dish, so I thought I would
ask. Outside of WIFI, is there anything useful I can do with this
dongle? The more conventional units (transverters, receivers, etc.) are
a bit spendy for me right now. thanks. paul ac0z
Hi,
The last two AO27 passes I have worked over the past two days that come up from my SE appearing to be about 5kHz off frequency (high). I have to monitor 436.810 to receive the signal clearly at AOS. I would usually start at .805, 10kHz above the transmit frequency of 436.795. On the passes that favor my west all appears to be normal.
Am I the only one that has noticed this?
73!

I'm seeing the same, Mike. I tried changing the text color thinking it may
be set to white on white but saw no change in the satellite list.

Anyone running Droid Sat? I just installed it to try out. When I access the
list of satellite, all I see is a white screen with no text. I can select a
line and it does bring up a satellite....

Wayne,
When you are on the page of predictions, click on one and it will display a
circle with a line that shows the satellite's path from AOS to LOS. During
the pass there is a dot that travels along the line depicting the
satellite's location. So it gives a little better idea where it is in
relation to you. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it does help.

This subject came up months ago, but without a search function I can't
find it in the amsat-bb archives.
