Nice chart that clearly shows the status of Echo and the fact that the output power has remained under .5 watts for an extended period of time...I've added it to my bookmarks!
Thanks Bobby!

Thats precisely the attitude I was alluding to. How about making the telemetry 1200 baud. Cant keep throwing money at this aspect of the hobby! Why cant you publish the information? pat On Fri, 25 Aug 2006, Andrew Glasbrenner wrote:

greetings
I would like to report very poor reception of echo even with an 8
element
yagi and an 18 Db preamp. I assume the downlink power is real flea
power
for battery charging or other testing.
After 2 years of pleading with amsat, the downlink power is still a mystery. It is not shown on the colaradosatellite telemetry graphs
(TX B)
or the amsat website, after repeated requests here and elsewhere
I'll
assume it is being held secret for some reason.
There has been a tremendous lack of technical reporting on ECHO.
I realize people are very busy but time should be taken to educate
the
amsat community.
