SatPC and TS-2000
by Carl Rimmer W8KRF 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Is anyone using SatPC32 with a Kenwood TS-2000? If so, what is your Doppler.SQF entry for the transponder. I can not seem to get it to go into Duplex (Satellite) mode. It goes into Split and, of course, I can not hear the downlink. 73 -- *Carl W8KRF*

by Doug Papay 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

All, I will be traveling through EM47 on Sep 3rd and again on the 5th. I will stop briefly on both days to provide an opportunity for as many as possible to put this rare grid in their logbook. I will only be able to be active on one pass per day. Planned operations will be via SO-50: 3/Sep/2011 14:49 - 15:02 UTC and 5/Sep/2011 14:06 - 14:20 UTC No QSL/SASE is necessary, just send me an email request and I'll be glad to QSL our contact. 73, Doug KD8CAO Ps. For those that need EM59, drop me an email. I may have the opportunity on Friday night to operate from this grid via SO-50 @ 2/Sep/2011 00:35 - 00:49UTC. If I get some requests, I'll try to fit it into my schedule.

Has the ARISSat-1 CW-2 frequency shifted?
by Ronald G. Parsons 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

A couple days ago, I noticed that to get a 500 Hz signal for CW-2 (nominally 145.9190 MHz) to decode the BPSK-1000 signal, I had to change the unDoppler-shifted frequency on my USB receiver from 145.918500 MHz to 145.918280 MHz, a change of 220 Hz. This new value have been consistent over a couple days of careful watching. I don’t believe it to be an error in the keps or clock as it has been true both at the beginning and end of the pass. My receiver has been on for over a month, so unless a component changed value suddenly, .... Has ARISSat-1 changed, has my radio changed, or does only my hairdresser know for sure? Ron W5RKN

by Randy 01 Sep '11

01 Sep '11

Hi all .. I am receiving the CW and TLM ok signal wise .. I tune in the CW to the mark in the CW / BPSK window.. But I don't ever receive any telemetry .. Using USB, FT897D .. I use the rig and computer for BPSK31 all the time .. Any ideas or suggestions ?? I even watched the You tube Video that was posted .. It seems like I am doing it correctly .. but must be missing something .. Thanks.. Randy - N2CUA
