Virus or not in ARISSAT software
by James Luhn 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

When I download the setup file at http://www.arissattlm.org/download/ARISSatTLM_050_Setup.exe my Norton complains that a WS.Reputation.1 virus is present and it deletes the file. Do I have an incorrect link or is this merely the heuristic detection in Norton falsely identifying a virus? The link to the file is on the AMSAT web page so my assumption is that the file is OK. Thanks, James W5AOO

Repair of SSB Preamp/Downconverter
by Sion Chow Q. C. (9W2QC) 27 Jul '11

27 Jul '11

Dear All, I remember asking on this list before about sources to repair a fault SSB SP-7000 70CM Masthead Preamp and SSB UEK-3000 2.4 GHz - 144 MHz downconverter a while back (should be about 2 years ago if my memory serves me right) and got a reply from someone in Japan who does provide this service. Would be glad if that person could kindly e-mail to me off the list as I have some inquiries to make about the repair service. Unfortunately I lost his email address and could not trace back that e-mail. Thank you, and please accept my apologies for the bandwidth. 73, Sion Chow Q. C., 9M2CQC, 9V1QC, WQ2C /HL1, ex: 9W2QC, AB3IO

Hello! Is anyone using SatPC32 with an ICOM 821H? Does bandswitching work, or do you have to switch bands manually? Paul Delaney - K6HR paul.hamradio(a)verizon.net http://k6hr.dyndns.org:8080

To me, operating full duplex is like talking on the telephone. I don't hesitate to interrupt while the other person is talking to ask a question or just add something to the subject. Four persons in a full duplex round table can chat like sitting at a real wood round table. It's fun. Mike, K9QHO
