When I click the Weather folder in Librarian I get an outline of the Western Hemisphere and a message saying "No Data." I have 8 grib2 files in another folder. How do I get the weather info to display in Librarian? Thanks. 73 Jim Barbre KB7YSY

Re: [amsat-bb] IMPORTANT notice for 2016 AMSAT Space Symposium Attendees

News that came out this morning.... about 45 minutes ago. http://abc13.com/travel/technical-issues-cancel-carnival-liberty-sailings/1… As they cancelled this week's cruise after everyone had boarded, my guess is that a week to make the repairs necessary should put us back on schedule for a normal departure (the boat is not coming in from anywhere to be late). Also, if they were planning on us going out with a slowed down vessel and then make final repairs when it gets back to port, everything should be just fine with the vessel not moving and being repaired over a 7 day period. On a good note, this only affected the speed of the vessel and not any of the other functions, such as A/C, electricity, water and sewage. All things that are really worse than a slow moving boat. We will try to keep everyone informed over the next few days about any news on the cruise. 73...bruce -- Bruce Paige, KK5DO AMSAT Director Contests and Awards AMSAT Board Member 2016-2018 AMSAT Board Alternate 2015-2016 ARRL Awards Field Checker (WAS, 5BWAS, VUCC), VE Houston AMSAT Net - Wed 0100z on Echolink - Conference *AMSAT* Also live streaming MP3 at http://www.amsatnet.com Podcast at http://www.amsatnet.com/podcast.xml or iTunes Latest satellite news on the ARRL Audio News http://www.arrl.org AMSAT on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/amsat

How do I make use of the APRS data files that are downloaded from Outernet? For example, can they be displayed on a map? My OS is Windows 7 and I do not have anything APRS-related currently on my system. Thanks. 73 Jim Barbre KB7YSY

SatPC32 (12.8c)-icom 910-subtone.sqf

Hello. Can anyone help with the syntax in the subtone.sqf for ic-910? I have tried "almost everthing" but the subtone are still in the standard value 88.5 I can set it manually to 67.0 and 74.4 for SO-50. I also see that I have to change "NOR" and "REV" manually. Maybe some can write this line correct for Icom IC-910? SO-50,67.0,??? SO-50,74.4,??? When I connect, and change the settings for the rig, my old TS-790 works great. 73, Paul LB2TG
