We may be on other satellites as well. Please give us a call if you hear us and respond with your grid square, city/state and name.

Seeking Help with FunCube Dongle Pro+, SatPC32 & HDSDR
by Richard Lawn 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

I'm close but not quite there. I'm trying to get the FCDP+ to function with SatPC32 and my IC-9100. From within HDSDR I'm using both Omni Rig connections and DDE client to facilitate connections with SatPC32 and the 9100. It seems like full tuning is working on the FunCUbe but radio control is not functioning properly on the IC-9100. I've looked for websites to help clarify this setup but haven't found anything. I know several of you on this list are using the FNCP+ with another radio for the uplink and I'd love to know how you are setting it up. 73 Rick, W2JAZ

Hello,I had the same problem. Then i used the line input of the soundcard and it worked. If you use the mic input your audio will be filtered on most soundcards.Good luck,Eric ON4HF.

Windows program to record desktop and audio?
by Alan 11 Feb '16

11 Feb '16

Hi, I am putting together a satellite presentation for a non-ham group, and want to include some recordings of programs in action such as FoxTelem and SatPC32. The YouTube recordings are good, but I want to do custom ones for the audience. Any recommendations of good software? I have tried VLC, which is recommended, but must not be holding my jaw right. 73s, Alan WA4SCA ----------------------------------- Keep Calm and Carry On

Has anyone found success using Crossover to run SatPC32 on a Mac? I'm getting sick of fiddling constantly with Windows OS, a system I never got comfortable with after spending years using Macs. Rick, W2JAZ -- Sent from Gmail Mobile

Question about APRS/UISS
by Mark Lunday 10 Feb '16

10 Feb '16

I am wondering why my AGW Packet Engine Pro shows decoded signals from the ISS but the UISS does not show any data. When I switch over to 144.39, almost all of the packets don't show up in UISS either. Is there some special setting I need to use? I don't have any filters enabled on UISS. Is there a better interfacing program with AGW Packet Engine than UISS? Mark Lunday, WD4ELG Greensboro, NC FM06be wd4elg(a)arrl.net http://wd4elg.blogspot.com
