CAS 7A has (or will have) an FM transponder in addition to the 3 linears ( 15/10;15/70; 2/70) Launch show 15 sep 2020. Not sure how they plan to schedule that, but it sounds like it'll be a fun bird. 73Rick Tejera (K7TEJ)Saguaro Astronomy ClubWww.saguaroastro.orgThunderbird Astronomy ClubWww.w7tbc.org

Current FM fleet is AO-91, AO-92, SO-50, Lilacsat-2 and PO-101 nothing else.
You still need to put Doppler correction into the memories on AO-91 and AO-92 not sure why you wouldn't be there are so many charts available just to transpose into the memory software.

Uplink Doppler Changes For FM Satellites Question. I am updating my HH Freq currently.
As I under stand it, the Fox Satellites (AO-91 & 92) receiver have AFC (automatic Frequency Control) which means that no doppler change in the transmit frequency is required nor should it be put into effect. My question is does anyone know whether or not any of the following FM Satellites also have AFC for their receivers?
PO-101 (Diwata)CAS-3H (LilacSat-2)Huskysat-1DOSAAF-85 (RS-44)CAS-7A (not launched yet) Thank you for your assistance. 73 Tim CrawfordKE7TAC _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
