Re: suggested modem

Considering the near-zero number of digital two-way satellites lately, you might consider starting with a receive-only setup using something software based like MixW or others. Software modems are where it's all going, and some can transmit also, there's not much there right now to do so with. 73, Drew KO4MA -----Original Message----- >From: Alan Beck <becka(a)eastlink.ca> >Sent: May 18, 2012 12:33 PM >To: amsat-bb(a)amsat.org >Subject: [amsat-bb] suggested modem > >Hi, > >I would love to have a run at working the 9600 baud bird and decoding telemetery. > >Would there be winner that I should not live without? > >I am looking at a paccomm 9600/1200/ Spirit2 tnc. > >Thought? > >73, > >Alan >VY2WU >_______________________________________________ >Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org.

Hi all, I used these keps during a pass over here in Wales (United Kingdom) at 1155 hrs GMT onwards. The satellite CW was loud and clear with just an "Elk" antenna feeding my Kenwood TS-2000. "Congratulations to all concerned with the project and its success" Ken Eaton GW1FKY Amsat-UK Amsat NA
