Note that the FoxDelta box is pretty much a clone of the old and no-longer-available AMSAT box, which in turn was compatible with the commands for the GS-232. I believe I have successfully used both GS-232 and SabreTrack settings on SatPC32 with the AMSAT box, but it's been a while since I have used it. I don't recall why I tried both of them and if there was an issue with one or the other. In any case, I'm suggesting that probably either one will work. But it should be no big deal to try one, and if it does not work switch to the other. 73, Burns WB1FJ On Fri, Jul 28, 2023 at 9:59 AM Don KB2YSI via AMSAT-BB <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> wrote: > If you need a terminal program, I suggest using Putty on Windows. > > --... ...-- > Don KB2YSI > > On Thu, Jul 27, 2023, 16:33 Vince Fiscus, KB7ADL via AMSAT-BB < > amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> wrote: > >> At 05:27 PM 7/27/2023 +0000, crohtun(a)aol.com wrote: >> >My FD interfaces SatPC32 with a Yaesu G5500DC.

If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do is pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband repeater. So give a listen, you just never know. Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed time. All dates and times listed follow International Standard ISO 8601 date and time format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS The complete schedule page has been updated as of 2023-07-28 03:00 UTC. (***) Here you will find a listing of all scheduled school contacts, and questions, other ISS related websites, IRLP and Echolink websites, and instructions for any contact that may be streamed live. https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.txt The successful school list has been updated as of 2023-07-28 03:00 UTC. (***) https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/Successful_ARISS_schools.rtf ####################################################################################################################################### Comments on making general contacts I have been seeing a lot of traffic on Facebook and I suspect on other social media sites with people asking why they are not hearing the crew make general contacts. First off the crew is very busy on the ISS and they simply may not have the time to just pick up the microphone and talk. Also, one needs to be aware of their normal daily schedule. I have listed below the constraints that we at ARISS have to follow in order to schedule the school contacts. Hopefully this will help you better schedule your opportunities. Typical daily schedule Wakeup to Workday start= 1.5 hours Workday start to Workday end=12 hours Workday end to Sleep= 2 hours Sleep to wakeup= 8.5 hours The crew's usual waking period is 0730 - 1930 UTC. The most common times to find a crew member making casual periods are about one hour after waking and before sleeping, when they have personal time. They're usually free most of the weekend, as well. SSTV events are not that often. So please check out https://www.ariss.org/ for the latest information or watch for the ARISS announcements. And don’t forget that the packet system is active. As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios are turned off as part of the safety protocol. The latest information on the operation mode can be found at https://www.ariss.org/current-status-of-iss-stations.html The latest list of frequencies in use can be found at https://www.ariss.org/contact-the-iss.html ######################################################################################################################################## A multi-point telebridge contact means that each student will be on the telebridge from their own home. **************************************************************************************************************************************** ARISS is very aware of the impact that COVID-19 is having on schools and the public in general.

My FD interfaces SatPC32 with a Yaesu G5500DC. I am using SAEBRTrackBox as the SatPC32 setting. SatPC32 is running on a W11 laptop. To interface with FD required installation of a CH340 driver for the com port to FD. HyperTerminal wasn’t necessary for FD installation. I didn’t have it and found that getting it and using it was more complicated than manually following the prompts from FD.

Check into the http://www.igatemini.com/sat controller. It eliminates the need for SATPC32 and the GS-232 and works great with any browser. Much easier to work with and lower cost.

Hi again, I just ordered a Fox Delta controller which should get here in a couple weeks. Right now I'm studying configuration for use with Satpc32. In one place I'm seeing is use Yaesu GS-232 in Satpc32 for the Fox-Delta controller, in another place I'm seeing use SAEBRTrackBox in Satpc32 for the controller. Not sure which to choose. Any suggestions? I'd also like to get the list of LVB tracker controller commands for use in HyperTerm. Fox-Delta uses the same firmware, but I can't find the command list. Thanks KB7ADL
