Dear amsat members.
I have some question about receiving beacon signal from ISS.
Could you please help me?
1. What is the difference between ISS, ARISS and ZARYA? Is these different satellites or 1 satellite with 3 name? 2. Which of them is easier to receive beacon from them? 3. Frequency of beacon signal of ISS is in VHF band. Is it available without preamp? I use 2 preamp. One for VHF and 1 for UHF band. But the preamp in vhf band isn’t on. I mean that icom receiver could not supply it. I activate preamp in vhf band in set menu of icom radio. The uhf band preamp on and I use it. But for vhf when I push the preamp button in front panel of icom the preamp writing is visible for 2 seconds and then turned off and isn’t visible.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Beat Regards.
