Hi Dick,

Is your hardware/software control working?

Is the CAT interface known to work?

When tracking the satellite-does it show "C+" in the top right window of setting options? It must have the "+" or it won't adjust the radio. You can set it to "+" by default by checking the Setup/Options CAT Control setting.

If the above works, but it's "drifting" out of lock--your Keps may be bad! If you are tracking, but it seems "off" I'd check your PC clock and the Keps you are using. The ones currently available via Celestrak seem to work fine. Just make sure you're using them :)

Last night and this AM my station printed and sent over 100 frames, fully automated while I was away. That means the Keps are getting quite good.

73,

I set up an entry in Doppler.sqf, originally as ISS and now as RADIOSCAF-B for the ARISSat1 CW and telemetry frequencies. SSB receive only so TX set to 0 MHz, step 20Hz. Unfortunately the doppler correction is not following the received frequency correctly. The rate of change is wrong so I lose lock on the telemetry decode after less than 1 minute. Any ideas as to what I have missed? Dick G4BBH _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
