eBay Madness

I am still taken back by the amount of folks willing to pay top dollar for a discontinued radio, I just saw a IC-910 with no 1.2 and owned previously by a smoker with a starting bid of $1300 .. Wow .. I would think the prices would go down now that there is a known fix for the TS-2000. Craig

Just received and decoded a few packets from Masat over Queensland, orbit #6. Sat had 6 reboots so far, so it seems its rebooting every orbit. Low power mode. Cheers, Andy - VK4HHH

PW-Sat signals decoded @ ISIS
by Wouter Weggelaar 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hi All, PW-Sat has been decoded using the ISIS GSKit on the first and 3rd pass of PW-SAT over Delft. On the third pass we also connected SDR hardware to 70cm to listen for the other cubes A spectrum plot can be found at http://www.pa3weg.nl/pa3weg/images/Spectrum_plot_PA3WEG_3rd_pass_1537UTC.jpg and the recording of PW-SAT at http://www.pa3weg.nl/pa3weg/recordings/PW-SAT%20recording%20PA3WEG%2013-02-… As you can imagine, all our engineers gathered around when they heard familiar BPSK 1200 sounds ;) http://www.pa3weg.nl/pa3weg/images/TrackingVEGA01.jpg http://www.pa3weg.nl/pa3weg/images/TrackingVEGA02.jpg We have heard: - PW-Sat - MaSat-1 - XatCobeo - Probably AlmaSat Nothing heard from Goliat, Robusta and UniCubeSat Wouter Weggelaar PA3WEG ISIS RF Engineer
