Falconsat-3 & Wisp
Hello, anybody can tell me where can I get the update keps for the Falconsat-3 that works with wisp? I have tried to create a txt file with just the Falconsat one but when I try to upload in the GSC program, I get "No Satellite Found".
Also is there a tutorial and needs how to operate with it? Thanks

Hi Enzo!
Someone else may be able to help with your exact question, but please know that you don't HAVE to use the full WiSP suite of software to use the BBS on Falconsat-3.
What I mean is, you can use your existing software to track the orbit as well as something like UISS (or an 9k6 APRS-capable HT) to utilize the APRS digipeater.
For the BBS specifically, only the MSPE component of the WiSP suite is needed once you have used the GSC application in WiSP to define the parameters of the satellite and your TNC -or- soundmodem connection.
Here is a link with a great amount of detail on how all the parts work: http://www.qsl.net/py4zbz/falconsat.htm
And if you would like to see the software work "live", here are a couple of VERY rough videos that I did to help individuals who have reached out for guidance on FS-3. They are not polished like so many of the great videos out there on Amateur Radio topics, but I'm glad to share on the chance that they might get you up & running more quickly.
