XW-2 TLE file
by Gabriel_Yahoo 18 Sep '15

18 Sep '15

Hello It looks like the pre-lauch TLE file of XW-2 is erroneous. The checksum number of the first line should < 2 > and not zero as we can read currently. Maybe the - sign is not taken into account in the calculation ? This makes some satellite tracking software (Sat_Explorer) rejecting such TLE !!!

APRS with AGW/UISS & Icom 9100...
by Lou Michaels 17 Sep '15

17 Sep '15

Hello group! I'm new to the list and I'm looking to dive deep into the satellite end of the hobby. I am currently building a decent az/el station, and can't wait to work some birds. One of the other things I really want to do is hit the digipeater on the ISS and decode telemetry. So I began working on APRS using AGW Packet Engine with UISS by ON6MU. I've managed to configure my station to decode packets and I can even send them, but I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how trigger the IC9100 to transmit. I'm using the digital mode on the 9100, and if I manually hit transmit on the radio, I can send a packet successfully... However, after following the instructions here ( http://www.issfanclub.com/node/37988) I still can't figure out how to "create ports that are linked" nor "split the ports" nor use the ICOM Keyer / AGW interface to facilitate RTS The 9100 is using COM9 and COM10 on my computer. I can get the 9100 to key with WSPR and WSJT, but not with AGW/UISS. I was hoping to use Ham Radio Deluxe to manage the doppler, and not SatPC Any IC9100 owners have a similar setup and have any ideas or insights? ...or has a similar problem been solved before? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Lou PS. I will be joining AMSAT :)
