Questions regarding WISP and operating satellite BBS
Hi all
I am trying to download telemetry from GO-32 in KISS mode, and later on, I would also like to operate the AO51 BBS.
I tried two ways. In both there is something missing... I hope someone will be able to give me some advise...:
Way #1. With SatPC32. SatPC32 provides good tracking capabilities. I get automatic receiving frequency control via CAT, including Doppler compensation, and I get automatic antenas control via the LVBTracker. However, I am missing a software to capture the KISS information in a file, and will also need to work with the PACSAT protocol for the BBS.
Way #2. With WISP. I succeeded to get the antennas rotor control working by WISP, but so far I could not learn how to control the transceiver frequencies, and also to automaitcally switch from receive to transmit for sending packets and requests to the satellite.
I have an ICOM IC910H and a Kantronic 9612Plus TNC.
My PC is a laptop with only USB ports..., no RS232. I am using USB to RS232 converters, but I don't think i can access hardware pins of the DB25 after the converters, for the T/R control.
Thanks & 73,
