Hello AMSAT-BB:
I have TH-D72A HT connected to a ANLI AL-800 34" telescoping whip. This morning there was an almost 90 degree pass over my grid square (FN20rk). I get loads of packets but for the life of me I can't beacon myself! :-(
I have my Decay Algorithm off, I have beaconing every 30 seconds (I even manually beacon by pressing F+[Beacon] as per the Kenwood manual). I have my beaconing in APRS format.
Is this just not gonna happen on a HT? I have tried 4 times with no luck (all high elevation passes). Again I see every packet that flies by (comparing my HT list with that on ariss.net). Very frustrating.
Help!
WA4SCA asked me the million dollar question: What is my packet path set to?
Well not ARISS! :-(
Let me try this again in 47 minutes. Its a low elevation pass though.
Stay tuned (literally)!
