Hi,
I was unable to open the uplink with my Yaesu FT-847. The PL tone was set 67.0 Hz but unable to open the uplink channel.
During the pass I tryed the following.
- Checked Subtone.SQF file twice SatPC32 (XW-1,67.0,$3F,1) - Checked Doppler.SQF (XW-1,435675,145825,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,Repeater-BBS) - Restarted SatPC32 - Switched of and on the Yaesu FT-847 - Did a manual setup via menu option 12 for the tone frequentie - Used FMN on the uplink
Nothing worked :(
There where only three or four stations active during this pass and that makes me wonder if I was the only one with tone problems?
I did receive some BBS Packets:
BJ1SA-12>BBSTAT>UI,C,F0: Open BJ1SA-12:0
BJ1SA-12>BBSTAT>UI,C,F0: Open BJ1SA-12:0
Maybe beter luck next time

Jan,
I had a similar experience. I was able to get in, but not as well as others. This morning, I put a calibrated service monitor on the rig. The PL signal looked clean, and was at 700 Hz deviation, as specified in the service manual. That is slightly higher than the nominal 15% of normal deviation usually quoted. I don't have a frequency counter of sufficient accuracy to check the PL tone frequency, but it was obviously close and switched properly by the software. I get in to SO-50 and SO-67 with no more trouble than others, as well as the local repeaters with PL access.

Same here. Using 100W and X-quad. And no pass trough. Or the pilote tone is changed or the uplink frequentie or the squelch on the input is set too high. 73 de Dan ON5UE

Hi all,
seems half Europe had the same problem with this WX-1 evening pass.
Only the big guns (UR5BFX, IW4DVZ, SV1EEK, HB9OAB) had more or less success - but I heard only one successful QSO between Francesco (IW4DVZ) and Nikolai (UR5BFX) at the begin of our pass. No more other contacts till LOS :-(

Wouldn't a big gun with no PLL capture the receiver and prevent it from coming on?

Did someone record or decode the CW telemetry at the Beacon freq? Maybe there is some extra information that can shine some light on the problems we all experienced :)

Hi pe0sat and All,
We managed to record the telemetry channel on the oz7sat system. As far as I can tell the only thing to notice is that the transponder was turned off during the middle of the pass. Somewhere between 18:49 and 18:52. The rest of the channels look pretty much like last time it was in FM transponder mode.
You can see the telemetry for the pass here: http://www.amsat.dk/oz7sat/tlm/view.php?starttime=2009-12-21+18%3A35%3A00&am... dtime=2009-12-21+18%3A55%3A40&c=1&c=2&c=3&c=4&c=5&c=6&c=7&c=8&c=9&c=10&c=11& c=12&c=13&c=201&rows=1000&sat=xw1&order=2&mode=0&receiver=Any&show=table&mod ulation=any&quality=0
If this long link doesnt work then try this one: http://www.amsat.dk/oz7sat/sched.php?gs=All&sat=XW-1&status=All Click on View Telemetry for the 18:35 pass.
