Thanks for the information and the DF2ET is a useful webpage. I didn't know that Lilacsat-2 had a timer on it, but it doesn't look like it has been active for a while either according to the AMSAT Active page. 73 John AF5CC Sent using {0} ---- On Wed, 17 Jul 2024 11:54:03 -0500 Ignacio Granados Vega via AMSAT-BB <amsat-bb(a)amsat.org> wrote --- Hello John.

Re: MESAT1 telemetry with FlexRadio

Hello JoAnne and friends--- For the IC-9700 I'm using just USB (not USB-D) and have reset the filters as wide as possible for that mode (all three in fact, so it's always the right one, hihi).. I can print using audio over USB or from the ACC1 jack on the back into an external sound card, so we have several options for getting audio.from the 9700. In Foxtelem, be sure to use Telem Format "BPSK 1200bps LTM". I try to adjust the RX frequency so the bottom left screen shows "Carrier: " values of about 1200-1500. The TLEs are good and have been, which makes the Doppler corrections good enough for automation. I'm working on the station at the university and need to tweak a few things, but the M2 Leo pack is just enough to print the bird when elevations are "good". The preamp is inside, so fixin' that is in the near future. So, keep at it, group! This is an opportunity for many of us to work on the 70cm receiving sensitivity of our stations--that's what I'm doing ;) 73, Mark L.

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.
