Satellite audio on 145.500 FM, related to ISS
by Koos van den Hout 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

I read a thread on reddit amateurradio discussing whether an ISS downlink could be heard on 145.500: https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/8t9nsu/iss_repeater_active/ But I did not pay a lot of attention. Until this afternoon when I was in a park keeping an eye on my child while keeping an ear on some 2 meter frequencies with an HT. And indeed at some time 145.500 sprung to life with the kind of audio that I expect from satellite contacts (gridsquares, callsigns all in rapid succession). I checked Hamsatdroid and indeed an ISS pass was active. Signal reception was possible until a few seconds after LOS. Any ideas what's going on? Or what the uplink would be? It was good to hear actual contacts being made and not a 'zoo' like some of the other satellites on a Sunday afternoon.

FS: Kenwood TS2000 HF/VHF/UHF satellite radio
by John Geiger 23 Jun '18

23 Jun '18

I have for sale a Kenwood TS2000 radio that does 100 watts on HF, 6 meter, and 2 meters, and 50 watts on 70cm. It also does full duplex for the satellites. It has IF-DSP for noise reduction, auto notch, and narrow filtering, a built in TCXO for frequency stability, a built in CW memory keyer, and built in SWR meter. It is in good physical condition with a couple of scratches here and there. It is putting out rated power and works fine, except that every once in a great while the receive level will briefly drop. It will come right back and doesn't do it very often at all. It comes with the 4 button hand mic, a power cord, and the original box. I don't have a manual for it, but you can find those on line. I am asking $710 shipped for it which will also include paypal fees if you want to pay that way. This rig will let you do about everything in ham radio and is a good performer. I also have a Signalink USB digital modes interface and a rigblaster NOMIC interface for the TS2000 if you need one of those. 73 John AF5CC
