Hi everyone,
I guess it would be time to take those Ten Tec 2510B transverters out of the closet now wouldn't it?? I have two of them and looking to pick up third for a new ham.
Nice to see this bird up.
For those of you who don't know the 2510 is an analog transverter designed to use a 10 meter I.F. on RX to mix the 2 meter downlink to 29 Mhz. It has a 435 Mhz uplink at, you guessed it, 435 to 435.500.
Have fun, I will.

EO-79 very strong but lots of noise on the Sat. Had to correct Doppler through the pass continuously. Heard many stations trying to find themselves but no contacts. My Settings were Uplink 435066 DWNLINK 145954 Using Satpc32 Cat tuning I was able to control Doppler through pass... 73 JACK-KC7MG

Hi all- A very basic question. If I understand correctly, EO79 will be QRV 27 minutes after being in sunlight, for a 25-minute period. What is the best way to determine if EO79 will be audible when it passes overhead? Should I simply aim for daytime passes??Sean Kutzko Amateur Radio KX9X

I also heard the sat here on Long Island NY with my 3 ele beam fixed at 30 deg elevation. I did hear lots of wideband noise in several spots throughout the passband. Never did hear any SSB.
Maybe it was cockpit error as Im still a noobie.

Sean,
SatPC32 and some other tracking programs have a method of generating a list of times which include when the satellite is eclipsed. Taking WinListen as an example, you can generated a list, note the times it exits eclipse, calculate with active window, and then compare with your local passes. It sounds cumbersome, but should only take a couple of minutes per day.

If you know someone looking for a TenTec 2510, I have one available. I used it a year or so ago for several QSOs on AO-7, so it is still working.
