Falconsat-3 Test 2 - Signalink USB Sound Card 9k6
ICOM 910H
9k6 ON
Signalink with UZ7HO sound modem FSM G3RUH 9600 baud
Elevation 89.4 degrees
MacDoppler correction 435.112 MHz to 435.xxx MHz
No Packets copied
435.112 MHz Start heard a change in static
I am not convinced the SignalLink can do it
I am going to move across to a my FunCube Dongle and use Software Defined Radio to try and snag it
Will report back
I can certainly hear the 9k6 rush from the bird

I did not see a lot of signal - I am not convinced my SNR is good enough
I would like to try a hill and a yagi

What antenna preamp are you using
And what signal strength do you get

Andrew,
You need a pretty decent signal with 9600 to be able to decode and your X300 vertical isn't going to cut it for satellite work.

From playing around today with a standard radio and external interface then swiping over to a AirSpy Mini, SDR# VB Audio Cable and UI-VIEW
I have a gut feeling the SDR solution is going to win just based on the local beacon on 432.440 and what I am seeing in the HS sound modem waterfall
I have parked the SDR setup on FalconSat and see what we get
It might be a matter of a Hot SDR doppler corrected and inbuilt sound card modem in the PC
We will see
