Setting target downlink Frequency, SSB
Hello,I made about 3 contacts on the SSB birds.For the moment I'm running half duplex and I know it's not the best setup,But If I am using as an example CAS3A ,SatPC32 is set at around 435.208 in the doppler .SQF file.I have the uplink set to track my radio. the downlink is setup for manuel tracking,Would I listen in on 145.880 and move down as the program moves up?I would only be calling CQ and hope someone could tune me in as I try to tune them in.Am I way off here.Thanks in advance.Rich marzo7088@yahoo.com
Rich,
Check out the nice article from WA4SCA's update of KB5MU's famous rule(s) at:https://www.amsat.org/tag/tuning/

Hi, as far as I know CAS-3A (not CAS3A!) is now XW-2A (and CAS-3B is XW-2B). The Doppler.SQF that comes with SatPC32 contains already the following entries for XW-2A: XW-2A,145675.0,435040.0,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,Transponder XW-2A,145640,0,FM,,,0,Digital TLM XW-2A,145660.0,0,USB,,0,CW Beacon The entries #2 and #3 can be chosen in menu 'CAT'.
The Keps files nasa.all and nasabare.txt contain the Keps for XW-2A.
So, add XW-2A to the list of selected satellites.
