AO-27?
by Fraser Bonnett 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

While waiting for SO-50 I started hearing tones and a strong carrier. I quickly looked up what birds use 436.795 and found AO-27 does (did?), so I quickly looked for where AO-27 should be and SatPC32 showed it was nearly right over me. Is AO-27 alive again?

Oscar-7
by Joe 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Can anyone help me out. How is Oscar-7's mode "A" downlink signal level now days? IE: the 29.4 to 29.5 signal. Is the beacon on 29.5 running whether it is in mode A or B or just when in mode "A" I played a LOT with this Bird in the 70's and want to try again now. BUT........ I have been listening to every pass I can and I have yet to her any trace of it on 10 meters. I have also been watching this page. http://oscar.dcarr.org/ and it looks like it isn't in mode "A" very often, and sadly whenever it was, just happened to be a pass that I was not around for. UG! so you old farts. that played with this bird in the 70's what is the signal strengths like now compared to back then?

[mixw] How to set up AFSK 1200 /1200 shift to copy Satellite UO-11?
by Bob KD7YZ 24 Jul '15

24 Jul '15

UO-11 is AFSK. according to one web page about UO-11: "The 145.826 MHz beacon transmits FM Audio Frequency Shift Keying (AFSK) 1200 bps ASCII data." . I am told UO-11 is 1200 baud and 1200 shift. It surely sounds different than the AX.25 I have been listening to. I didn't seem to setup Mixw anywhere correctly during a 5 min slice of the orbit today. Could somebody explain how to set that up please ? 73, -- Bob KD7YZ http://www.qrz.com/db/kd7yz AMSAT LM#901 __._,_.___ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posted by: Bob KD7YZ <kd7yz(a)denstarfarm.us> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Reply via web post <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/conversations/messages/41730;_ylc=…> • Reply to sender <mailto:kd7yz@denstarfarm.us?subject=Re%3A%20How%20to%20set%20up%20AFSK%201200%20%2F1200%20shift%20to%20copy%20Satellite%20UO-11%3F> • Reply to group <mailto:mixw@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20How%20to%20set%20up%20AFSK%201200%20%2F1200%20shift%20to%20copy%20Satellite%20UO-11%3F> • Start a New Topic <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/conversations/newtopic;_ylc=X3oDMT…> • Messages in this topic <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/conversations/topics/41730;_ylc=X3…> (1) To Post a message, send it to: mixw(a)yahoogroups.com To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: mixw-unsubscribe(a)yahoogroups.com To visit the groups site goto, https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info For software help visit http://www.nk7z.net Visit Your Group <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/info;_ylc=X3oDMTJlZGNwOTgxBF9TAzk3…> * New Members <https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/mixw/members/all;_ylc=X3oDMTJmamVrZHB1B…> 4 Yahoo!
