I used to monitor telemetry from the older FOX satellites with a slower laptop running an SDR. I found that I had to wait for the 'Queue' in the lower right corner of the FoxTelem panel to go down to zero before exiting FoxTelem otherwise my most recent bytes wouldn't show. Sometimes it took a minute or two for the upload queue to empty. On 7/10/2024 1:26 PM, Chris Thompson via AMSAT-BB wrote: > Well done!

Hi John, yes, that's the right mode to select. What are you using to receive? Running Foxtelem is pretty straightforward, once you get the audio coming into the program populate the settings menu--including the selection of "upload to server!" Mark L.

Re: amsatbare.txt file

Hi, The SatPC32 Update Keps feature doesn't work with https links for TLE files. That would require changes of the source code and maybe requires a new Delphi version for me. I will care about that but that will at least take time and at present I don't have much time for the hobby. But all https websites can be accessed also with http. Then they are no "secure" sites but that is meaningless with websites that contain Keps. Therefore use http in the aux. file Celestrak.SQF for AMSAT and Celestrak TLE (Two Line Elements) files, as described by Charlie, AJ9N, see below. With that modification the Download Keps function works. Also, the https links can be accessed with your browser, of course. Enter the links into the address line of the browser. So, you can download the Keps and save them in the SatPC32 data folder 'Kepler' (see path to that folder in the footline of menu 'Satellites'). BTW: Meanwhile my website supports also SSL. You can access it with https://www.dk1tb.de and https://www.dk1tb-2.de Also, SatPC32 supports now - besides TLE files - the new formats for Keps files XML, KVN and CSV. Celestrak publishes the Keps files also in these formats. The SatPC32 UpdateKeps feature works with these files also when downloaded from https sites (I don't know why that is different vs. the TLE files). Therefore you can use https in Celestrack. SQF with these files, eg. https://celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/gp.php?GROUP=amateur&FORMAT=xml 73s, Erich, DK1TB Am 07.07.2024 um 18:00 schrieb Charlie Sufana via AMSAT-BB: > Based on all of the email traffic on this, I thought I would modify my > sqf file with the newest file names.

Yaesu G-5500DC trouble shooting?
by Tom Kenny 10 Jul '24

10 Jul '24

I purchased a new Yaesu G-5500DC.Ensured continuity for each pin on the female connector to the corresponding screw on the controller box. Meaning pin 1 to screw 1 and so on. I only connected the Azimuth so far.I powered the control box turn it on and depress the left button and then the right button and nothing happens. I was expecting the azmuith rotator to turn...I rechecked continuity from the pins on the female connector to the screws on the controller box and they all seemed good. However, I noticed that screws 4 and 5 on the control box have continuity for azmuith. Is this normal? I noticed that scres 4 and 5 of the elevation screws also have continuity... Does anybody have any suggestions on troubleshooting? Are there other forums more appropriate for this topic? Thanks for any advise! 73, Tom NJ2DX
