Noted Kevin, so my putting the radio in 9600 data mode the audio is now available from the discriminator directly. For some reason I am unable to decode the telemetry from AO85 and AO91 using a ICOM 821H and Signalink USB. Will try soon with an SDR as well. 73

I will mention that for a Icom IC-9100 you need it in Data 9600 mode,  
the reason being that 9600 gives you the full bandwidth, in non-data 
mode the radio filters out the sub-audible tones.

What I understand from the Decoder manual is that 9600 is for special experiments and under normal conditions the data under voice (DUV) is 200 bps hence i dont think 9600 setting needs to be enabled / wired at the radio. 73

Message-ID: [email protected]
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Hi all,
Today 21st November 2017 is a 4th birthday for FUNcube-1 ( AO- 73 ) since its launch in the year 2013.
"Congratulations and HAPPY BIRTHDAY "
The satellite has been a key player for me not only with many contacts, but also for its role in demonstrations,exhibitions and STEM
related work.
I  therefore offer my thanks and appreciation to all that have been involved in the project including radio amateurs for the contacts.
Their valuable time and effort, dedication and work, has been an inspiration for our hobby and education.
Likewise may I also offer my congratulations to the FOX - RadFX  (AO-91)  project and launch teams on the recent success.
Indeed many projects have or will be key players in our hobby.
A big "THANKYOU" -  Long may they continue as partners in our hobby and studies in science and technology.

I have a python script that emulates a simple hamlib server (which does 
some conversion to control SDRSharp) that GPredict can use.
you can find it here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5v6x87kv4kq02g7/AAANexHJ6L4MgCRalXkOq5wta?dl=0
It has lots of comments and should be clear how it works.
Should run on Windows or Linux (careful on Linux with newlines, you may 
have to copy-paste into a new document to get the formatting to line up)
I use it all of the time running Gpredict and this script on a Raspberry 
pi which then controls SDRSharp running on a Windows 10 machine 
elsewhere on my small network.
cheers, Graham ve3gtc

Hello
I would like to write a perl script to eventually graph the doppler shift of
ISS, Falconsat and Fox1-B over time using LINUX
Has anyone a script that can act as a server that gpredict can connect to
and would spit out data ?
I just used netcat and saw data
Just curious someone might have already done this ?

SAT Gridders,
TNX for all the Q's last night from EM67/68. Tonight, I'll
be in northern MS, then to northern LA until after Thanksgiving.
My return route to the home QTH will be similar. Operation
will be strictly Holiday-Style (HIHI). QSOs will be uploaded
to LoTW when we get back in EN91 the first week of December.
Also, TNX to KG5CCI for posting the SO50 pass recording from
last night on Twitter! It was the first time my XYL was able
to actually hear one of my Rover activations as if it was happening
real time. Previously, she had only heard the noisey & garbled audio
from my little digital recorder.  :o)

Detailed doppler measurements confirm that NASA's scientific

launched from the ISS yesterday at 08:05 UTC.

It has a data downlink on 437.095 MHz.

Good morning fellow satelliteers!

Just a reminder that an Argentinian team featuring LU3YK, LU5FF, LU7VB,
LU7YS, LU8YD and LU9VEA will be active from San Cristobal, Galapagos
Islands (Grid EI59) as *HC8LUT* between November 29 to December 8,
2017.They plan to operate HF-6m and satellites. The focus on satellites
will be on AO-7, FO-29 and FM satellites (including AO-91 if available).

I have been in contact with Alejandro, LU8YD, and he informed me that they
will use a pair of Icom IC-7000, through a 5 elements VHF and 10 elements
UHF yagis. Satellite ops will be secondary since the radios will be shared
with the HF operation. They will try work as many passes as they can, with
good coverage towards the United States.

Please keep it civil and avoid working them repeatedly. Let's give
everybody a chance!

I will be in touch with the team during the expedition and will try to pass
as much information as I can.

Confirmations will be available on LoTW, Clublog and EQSL.

Have a great day
