Hi all,
From Monday AO-51 will be in SSB mode on the uplink like
it has been before.
October 30 to November 6 Cross Mode Repeater, V(SSB)/U(FM) Uplink: 145.880 MHz USB Downlink: 435.300 MHz FM
Those of you who have tried it before know that you must hit the frequency correct to get a good downlink signal. If you use automatic doppler shift correction from your tracking program it is a little bit easier.
Personally I use SatPC32 to do the correction with the following line in the doppler.sqr file:
AO-51,435300,145879.25,FM,USB,Nor,0,0,Voice V/U
What is the "Voice V/U" parameter for? It must be unique to the European version of SatPC32, as it is not found in the Doppler.sqf file for the North American version (last allowed parameter is transverter offset)...
