I am looking for a dual band dish feed for 10GHz/2.4GHZ to use for the Oscar 100 downlink/uplink. What is your recommendation of either a commercial or a simple to build one? 73. Gabriel - EA6VQ

Gabriel, I do not know if available in EU, but I used an 86cm offset feed dish originally used for Ku-band satellite TV here in the US for receiving AO-40 2.4 GHz telemetry. It used a six turn helical feed and db6nt preamp to Drake downconverter to 123 MHz IF (FT-847). I use a 60cm offset feed dish, commonly used in the lower-48 states of the US for satellite TV for my 10-GHz station. Feed is W1GHZ linear pol feed with corrugated horn. Most likely you will need a CP feed for Oscar-100. http://www.kl7uw.com/Another_Dish_Tripod.pdf Many eme'rs are having success on 10-GHz with as small at 60cm though 1m is better (for eme). I suspect Oscar-100 signals are much stronger than eme. I am not QRV on satellite at present but have plans to restore my AO-40 antenna system this summer using a FT-736R on mode-UV or LU sats. photos of my old system: http://www.kl7uw.com/sat.htm 73, Ed - KL7UW ----------------------- Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2019 08:55:48 +010 From: "Gabriel - EA6VQ" <ea6vq(a)dxmaps.com> To: <AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org> Subject: [amsat-bb] dual dish feed for Oscar100?

SatPC32

I purchased SatPC32 and received the registration code yesterday. Other than not having to enter my coordinates each time I start the program. I don't see any other features that were unlocked, or given access to, from the "demo" version. Am I missing something? Loon

Alan, Thanks for the heads up on the R&L Electronics price on the IC-9700. HRO matched the price $1799.95. So my $200 back will go for my 1.2 GHZ coax. 73 Mike K4MIA R&L Electronics has announced $1799.95 with free USA shipping. Looking better. No information on shipping date. 73, Alan WA4SCA

Doppler correction TM-V71A
by Ron VE8RT 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Before commiting to a new TM-V71A, as it does not have CAT control is there a way to do Doppler correction other than manually selecting pre-programmed memory channels? In other words would it be possible to computer control the frequency from Gpredict or the Fox Telemetry software? Ron VE8RT -- Ron VE8RT <ve8rt(a)yknwt.ca>
