Charlie and David, Thanks for the pointers. I've found a couple of things to tweak based on your messages. I'm using the S.A.T. tracker box so I don't have SQF files - but I've tweaked it's satellite frequency there so I'm hoping I'll be closer to the frequency. I'm using my Greencube setup where the IC-9700 received USB-D audio goes into the UZ7HO soundmodem then the OZ9AAR terminal. I hope that I'm not too far off track substituting the FoxTelem software configuration in place of the Greencube software configuration.

I am using a Flex 6600M with Q5 Xvrtrs. Here is what I’m using for MESAT1 telemetry. I am using a download frequency of 435798.5. You should use USB (DIGIU on the Flex) Make an entry using this downlink frequency in your Doppler.SQF file, and restart SatPC32. Make sure you are using DAX Audio RX1, not DAX IQ. In the telemetry software, I also checked the box “find signal” (I think this might be AFC) Make sure you also check the box to upload data. I have successfully captured data from 8 passes. The satellite isn’t real strong, but it has been improving. The best passes here in EM79 have been early mornings (before I wake up hi hi) but I had success with that setup.

Re: GRBBETA Satellite GMSK 9K6 + FEC

Hello Christy, Per IARU entry at https://iaru.amsat-uk.org/finished_detail.php?serialnum=963 shows 'FX.25 FEC144-146MHz optional: 9600 baud, GMSK' The exact frequency is not yet known, which should be between 145.8 ~ 146 and whether it will be uplink or simply downlink. So it had been placed on the site http://amsat.org.ar/pass?satx=grbbeta just for the curious to discover it. 73, lu7abf, Pedro El mar, 16 jul 2024 a la(s) 12:26 p.m., christy via AMSAT-BB ( amsat-bb(a)amsat.org) escribió: > The website to the AR amsate tracking seems to indicate that GRBBETA has > an uplink Freq. 145.850 FM. but the Sat's website indicates only downlink > freq.

MESAT1 telemetry with FlexRadio

I am having trouble decoding MESAT1 telemetry. I'm using a FlexRadio with Down East Microwave (DEMI) transverter and the latest FoxTelem software. The signals are strong, but I'm getting no decodes, and the transmissions aren't long enough to get things properly set up. If anyone else out there is successfully using a similar setup, I'd like to hear from you off list. Thanks! -- Mark D.

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 2024-07-16 04:00 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 2024-07-11 16:00 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 07:30 – 19:30 UTC. The most common times to find a crew member making casual periods are about one hour after waking up and about an hour 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 sometimes active. Check the status at https://www.ariss.org/ or http://www.issfanclub.eu to see if the packet system is active or not. 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. As such, we may have last minute cancellations or postponements of school contacts. As always, I will try to provide everyone with near-real-time updates.

About ARISS: Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio.
