Hi All,
I was wondering if someone could help me with the setup files for the Lilacsat-2 andEO-85 FM birds, as for some reason I'm unable to trigger the input on either bird - I'm hearing the beacons fine though.
For Lilacsat-2 I have the following in the Doppler.SQF file
LILACSAT-2,437200,144350,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,FM Transponder
LILACSAT-2,437225,144350,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,CW Beacon
LILACSAT-2,144390,144390,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,APRS
For EO-85 I have the following in the Doppler.SQF file
AO-85,145980,435170,FM,FM,NOR,0,0
Along with these details in the SubTone.SQF file
AO-85,67.0,$3F,1
Is there anything blaringly obvious that I've done wrong?

Hi Jason, that information looks ok. The only difference to mine is AO85 uplink is set to 435180.
LilacSat-2 FM transponder is currently only switching on Mon/Tues/Fri @ 2200UTC.
I just heard two VK6's make contact on AO-85 at 0640UTC
Goodluck Joe

Hi Jayson.
Over here in Europe, AO-85 has a lot of users who are always slightly off frequency which produces poor audio on the transponder.
My guess is that the uplink frequency needs tweaking for optimum auto tracking. The downlink appears about 2k low at 145.978, but to be fair that isn't a problem with FM.
Good luck
David

Hi Jason, Just a hint: You can finetune the downlink and uplink frequency. Click control V, which is V- with FM sats, to V+. Then open menu CAT. You can now tune downlink and uplink using the "Downl. Corr." and "Upl. Calibr." controls. The changes cannot automatically be saved, however, as they can with SSB sats. That can only be done manually (menu "?", "Auxilirary Files"). 73s, Erich, DK1TB

Are you turning the tone on before trying to access AO-85? You have to click on the T0 ("no tone") in the upper left of the SatPC32 screen and change it to T1 ("tone 1 on") to have tone active on your transmissions...
