hi folks, is this the right freq for the downlink on go 32 techsat? 435225? 9600 baud packet. Having a hard time getting anything from this sat with the new rig, my dcd lite is blinking steady while nothin showing on the screen. I do know when the sat comes the dcd lite should stay on. Thanks in advance. kc8gkf
Yes, that is the correct downlink. It has a strong downlink signal.
What rig, TNC, and software are you using? With that info, perhaps someone will have a suggestion.

What is the name I would look for to pull it up on Nova to track it, I don't see GO-32 in the list.

Fred,
It is distributed in the keps as GO-32. I don't use Nova so I can't give you the specifics, but somewhere there is a function where you select which satellites you want to use from the huge list. One of them will be GO-32.

Never mind, Oscar 32...doh

... my dcd lite is blinking steady while nothin showing on the screen. I do know when the sat comes the dcd lite should stay on.
For GO32, I think this is not necessarily the case. Unlike many of the other PACSATS, If GO-32 does not have any trafffic, it drops its downlink. So the DCD may come and go. But it is easy to hear...
Actually this is a great advantage for APRS operations, because this makes a significant downlink delay. This allows those mobile operators transmitting on the uplink actually see their own downlink. On ECHO, there is no delay, because the downlink is always up, and so a mobile cannot turn its half-duplex TNC arround fast enough to see its own packet digipeated.
