We followed the instructions to enter into SATPC.
We entered evert thing required and in DIVERSE Group we have AO 73.
The Down Link seems to be okay, but the uplink frequency is incorrect and shows FM mode!
We rechecked our inputs.
What happened?
God Bless

Hi Rich,
please cheek your doppler.sqf file and the entries in there under AO-73. SatPC32 will use/display whatever is written in there. Sometimes it is a messed up entry, wrong comma etc. The format is very specific and important.
Hope that helps,
Merry Christmas to you.
Stefan, VE4NSA

I should not complain we got it working at 0117 this evening, it is in a different group. I heard data but no other signals. It was not a good elevation path for FM16.
Thanks to all for your help.
One other question where do I turn on the tone for SO 50. Again I can't find the menu for that!
Stefan, it might be a little early we still have thanksgiving turkey left, Merry Christmas to you.
God Bless

Rich, the sub tones for SO-50 can be switched on and off with the "T" control in the upper left part of the program window. "T1" switchs on the 67.0 Hz tone for working the sat, "T2" the 74.4 Hz tone that opens the sat. Move the mouse over the controls to get hints about the function of each of them or look the manual. 73s, Erich, DK1TB

Rich,
Rig?
What is the uplink frequency, approximately, and does it Doppler tune during a pass?
Actual DOPPLER.SQF information? Cut and paste!
Using AMSATNAMES.TXT? Information.
Never hurts for an outsider to look over your work.

Downlink freq: 145.93350 and yes it is Doppler controlled.
We are going to check our inputs again tomorrow ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan" wa4sca@gmail.com To: AMSAT-BB@amsat.org Cc: "CC" APBIDDLE@UNITED.NET Sent: Sunday, December 01, 2013 5:10 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: AO 73 Program problem

Rich,
I was asking about the uplink frequency, since that is the one you reported incorrect.
<The Down Link seems to be okay, but the uplink frequency is incorrect and shows FM mode!
However, the downlink you mentioned is approximately the beacon, not the transponder, so the uplink frequency would be irrelevant anyway.
If you entered the information which was posted here, have you selected the transponder pair rather than the TLM in the CAT window?
73s,
Alan WA4SCA
