Odd Issue on IC-9100
by Bruce 27 Jul '22

27 Jul '22

My ICOM IC-9100 has been working fine for a long time, even this past weekend. A strange issue popped up today. While on RS-44, I went to find myself as I usually do. I pressed the SUB button, Pressed CW and the radio immediately started transmitting. No dits and dashes as from the keyer, just a solid tone. I unplugged the keyer from the radio and tried again, same thing. I did the soft reset, VFO/MEMO and F-INP/ENT buttons while turning on. I then reloaded my memories from the RT Systems programmer. Repeated the CW on a local simplex freqency and same thing. Any ideas? Of course I can whistle or say 1..1...1..1 to find myself which is really not recommended. 73...bruce -- Bruce Paige, KK5DO AMSAT Director Contests and Awards AMSAT Board Member 2016-2022 ARRL Awards Field Checker (WAS, 5BWAS, VUCC), VE Houston AMSAT Net - Wed 0200z on Echolink - Conference *AMSAT* Also live streaming MP3 athttp://www.amsatnet.com Podcast athttp://www.amsatnet.com/podcast.xml or iTunes Latest satellite news on the ARRL Audio News http://www.arrl.org AMSAT on Twitterhttp://www.twitter.com/amsat

ISS on Satpc-32
by Bob Johnson 26 Jul '22

26 Jul '22

Greetings all-I realize the ISS can change orbit slightly. When I use the amateur.txt file to track it it's in one position, when I use nasa.all file it's somewhere else. I thought when I clicked "up-date keps everything was updated. When selecting the source files provided in satpc32 I get a lot of "download failed". Help with confusion please. Thanks 73 Bob W7LRD

25 Jul '22

I'm at our vacation place working with my old FT-847, Arrow antennas and SatPC32. I added a couple of satellites and for some reason PO-101 is not highlighted in the bottom list of active satellites. If I roll over the last letter which is greyed out (N in my case) it shows PO-101 but is not shown in bold letters like the others suggesting something ios wrong. Any suggestions? I've checked that the name in the various files is the same. Rick, W2JAZ

After some careful scheduling JA8KGG Akira and I were able to complete a QSO. A distance of 4412 miles CN87wk to QN03od. Not a record, but a record for me. This is what makes it so satisfying and fun!!
