From under my rock... CAS-4B!
by Robert Bruninga 02 Feb '18

02 Feb '18

Crawling from under my rock today to help a student find a satellite to tune in, I saw CAS-4B. And it was a 36 degree pass. Tuned it in and heard lots of SSB contacts and 2 CW contacts! Nice! Being under my packet radio rock, I had not realized such a good linear bird was at our latitudes. I guess I confused it with the packet ones only workable from Florida. Anyway, nice linear bird! Back under my rock. Have to deliver PSAT2 in 2 weeks. Bob, WB4APR

new to list
by Ron VE8RT 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

I've recently joined AMSAT and would like to try the cubesats. About 30 years ago I was active (FP/VE1KM, FP4EK, FP5EK) on the linear satellites available at the time but wouldn't consider myself up to speed. So I downloaded the guide on getting started on satellites. Along with my membership I ordered and received the WRAPS project board. And I was recently given a FT726R, but I'll get to that later. I'm looking for some advice with a couple of items, starting with the WRAPS project. Before ordering the parts (for the tricked-out WRAPS) I wanted to ask if there have been any changes to the design, should I go ahead with the parts list as published? I'll bring up the FT726R later, it may need a little work. TKS, 73 Ron VE8RT, VE8TEA in DP22 -- Ron VE8RT <ve8rt(a)yknwt.ca>

Still have SatPC32 password problem
by radiomb 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

I tried the serial number on the front of the disk case. Like Ryan it did not accept it as the password. My code is GI followed by 9 numeric (11 character code). I see SatPC32 default password is 8 asterisks. I tried with and without the GI but that still leaves 9 numeric. SatPC32 was on my old PC and never removed. To keep someone from buying it and giving it to the world is the password stored somewhere. And you cannot use it again until you uninstall from the other machine? Any ideas? And thanks for your replies to all my questions. 73 Mike K4MIA

Potential 23cm FM transmitter
by Brad Brooks 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

For those who receive the DKARS magazine, there is a very interesting article. The transceiver described is for ATV, but it looks like like it will tune to the AO-92 uplink frequency. Seems to put out 400mw FM out. I am not able to take time now to review deeper (stealing away from work) but I look forward to parsing through the schematic/links this weekend. I am forwarding this notice for anyone who will be able to get there sooner. I think there is some potential here, and I would like to know other’ opinions.
