Hi Hans,
I was able to upload a message (to you!) on FS-3 last night/this morning, fully automated. So the satellite is evidently behaving OK.
Hope you get it figured out. Since I don't use Direwolf, sorry I can't give any suggestions.

I didn't write it directly, but I assumed from the description you would read that I indeed run full duplex (and to add to this: my system is Linux, not Windows). If not Direwolf will wait for a free window to throw out packets which will never happen because FS-3 is on all the time. No, everything is working, except for the problem I described before: all commands to the bird are heard and responded to, but uploading a message will fail.
Desensing is also not the problem: got the appropriate filters in place for that. Cheers,
Hans

Hello Hans, I have not been working FS-3 recently, since the IC-9700 will not do 9600 packet [iCom, please fix!!] :(   So I cannot comment on recent uploads. However, to add to Bob's thoughts--are you running full duplex?  It's critical. Also, is your transmit signal desensitizing your receive signal?  That is important, too.Â
In the next week or so I will change radios at my station so I can again use FS-3. Â I'll be better able to share current experiences with you.

Are you referring to those maybe being too long? If so, then why are all other commands (DL and directory listings) giving me no problem?

I am no expert. But remember that your RF and all processing has to be full duplex. The turn arround for packets in the satellite is instantaneous. with no TXD delays. Bob

   Up til now I have been successful in getting PacSatGroundStation    (PSGS)    to work on receive. You can go here if you want to see my setup:    http://bx2abt.com/main/Falconsat-3http://bx2abt.com/main/Falconsat-3 . I can hit FalconSat-3 with a    directory request or file download request and get an immediate    response    and consequent downloads. Uploading is a different story, however. I    have been able to get some messages uploaded, but it was more by    chance.    Right now if I want to upload I seem to get into a loop where PSGS    keeps    on sending out the same frame (I presume), then disconnects, after    which    the whole cycle starts over again.
    From the PSGS debugging info you can see that I am successful in    logging into PFS3-12. My file gets a designated ID (1f14 in this    case)    and is ready to be received. Then it uploads what I presume is one    frame    (you can see this in Direwolf where the same chunk of data is send    over    and over again) after which possibly the reason why things don't    work:    "ER_BODY_CHECK received while uploading:    /home/hans/PacSatGroundData/FalconSat-3/BX2ABT17.txt.out". The only    mention of ER_BODY_CHECK I can find on the internet is that it is    sent    when the checksum on the file body fails. After that the whole    sequence    starts again, so the message never gets uploaded and out of the queue.
   Does this problem lie with FalconSat-3, Direwolf or PGSG, or    somewhere    else? Where is the checksum being made? This is my first forray into    packet radio/PacSat, so I'm not an expert (yet). I don't want to make    any (un)educated guesses, thus any help or hints are appreciated.    Cheers,
