Good Morning John
I use a FT897D for satellite and also a FT817 for Full Duplex operation
I use them together so I can hear myself on the downlink (which is the
proper way to do it).
It receives the satellite fine(both rigs)but I would not consider the Ft897D
a upgrade or vise versa,the best upgrade to do as a first thing is the
antenna and cable and quality connectors.The draw back that I don't like on
the Yaesu rigs is that the cat system cannot work during transmit,so Doppler
is not corrected when you transmit and can be a bit of a pain when trying to
setup your software for calibration.Its not to big of a deal and you can
work around it.I personal believe that upgrading to any one of the multi
band and multi mode rigs wont show any improvement.I have learnt allot from
this board over this year and I live buy this rule (High Gain Low Loss).If
I had an Icom and I wanted to buy another rig to run full duplex,I would buy
a Icom,just for the fact that I mentioned above about Doppler correction and
calibration.In order to upgrade your transceiver it is best to buy a rig
that is design for satellite operation (IC910H,TS2000,FT897D,FT736R,etc)
this is just my personal opinion.
Good Luck

Hi Nigel, G8IFF/W8IFF
You are right
Aiming the antenna for maximum receiver Sun noise is the best method
because the antenna pattern can be affected by some squint angle and not
be perfectly aligned with the boom but receiving Noise from the Sun in
2 meters and 70 cm implies a very high antenna gain and a very low overall
receiving Noise Figure with a very low Antenna temperature.
By the way at microwave such as 2400 MHz it is possible to receive the Sun
Noise using a modest dish diameter even when the Sun activity is low as
actually with around 67 sfu at 2800 MHz (10.7 cm)
See here:
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/ftpdir/indices/DSD.txt
I use this method with my 1.2 meter dish 27 dBi at 2400 MHz and an overall
receiving Noise Figure of 1 dB equivalent to a Noise Temperature of 75
kelvin
With the above dish and receiver I actually get a Sun Noise of about 3.5 dB
of (S+N)/N wich is easily readible on the S meter or better using an AC
Voltmeter connected to the audio output of receiver.
Using a tracking program and aiming the dish for maximum Sun Noise
it is possible to calibrate the AZ and EL angle of the control box for the
through reference Sun position in the sky.
In addition repeating time to time the above procedure and knowing the
actual Sun's sfu it is possible to monitor the state of healt of our
receiving system.
By the way without an HEO satellite using 2400 MHz the above procedure
is as well a little and interesting Radioastronomy exercise.

Yes that's a good point, I'm not encouraging anyone to go on their roof at
night, in fact I would heartily discourage it for the sake of safety.
What I intended to mean was, I looked at Polaris at night, got the
difference from the way my house/roof points, then took that protractor up
to the roof during daylight to tweak the antennas. And as you also
mention, a couple of degrees isn't going to make a lot of difference
unless you are using some extremely narrow beamwidth antennas, so the fact
that Polaris is actually about 2 degrees right of how my house points to
the north is not of importance in my opinion. I positioned the antennas
to point along the lines of the house and it works fine.

Hi,
I agree with the comments that high degrees of pointing accuracy are not
required for satellite work.
However, if you are super keen to improve your pointing accuracy then you may
like to consider the modern version of the "bore sight" method.
A bore sight is basically a length of tube, you look through, you only get a
view of the target when you are accuratly lined up with it. The longer the
tube the greater the pointing accuracy.
For an antenna boom mounted bore sight I used about six inches of 15mm copper
water pipe with a stop end soldered onto it. I drilled a 1/8" hole in the stop
end and fixed a light dependant resistor in the "eye end" Attached to the
boom and ran wires to the shack where I had a battery and voltmeter.
Point your antenna at where the Sun should be then "hunt" backwards and
forwards, up and down until you see a peak reading on the meter = the sun.
Its a bit of work but the benefit of this method is that its on the tower and
you can check it anytime the Sun is out.
Practical problems, waterproofing and true alignment to the boom.
It was a lot of work but a fun project, eventially destroyed by water
penetration.

I use a plumb bob and plumb line. When north star is first visible, I
use these to determine true north on my horizon. I then create in my
mind a picture of where that point is on the horizon. Then during
daytime, I adjust antenna to point at that point on the horizon. A
south-north road near my QTH is aligned with the same horizon point.

I will activate grid DM19 (smack in the middle of NV) on August 17th during
the 2130Z AO27 pass (approximate). (It must be a rare grid because even
WD9EWK says he needs the grid!) There is a ghost town out there that I will
visit on my way to AZ. I'll be on my HT and an ARROW. If you need a QSL
for the contact, just send me an e-mail, I'll confirm with the log and send
you a card. No need for SASE or return card.
I have a shameless request. I only need New Hampshire to complete my WAS
satellite. Anyone in NH interested in setting up a schedule on any bird,
any mode? I have a granite challenge to me east (a mountain) that limits
the pass opportunities to reach the east coast, but I know I can because I
have confirmed contacts with the rest of New England.
Hope the DM19 grid will increase your totals.

John and all,
I mean no disrespect, and I'll apologize now if what follows offends you or
anyone. I agree - to a point - about pointing accuracy. Let's face it - of the
three FM satellites currently available to us, SO-50 is the largest target we
have. It is a 35mm (13.78-inch) cube. We're shooting signals at it from
hundreds of miles away, so even the most accurate of pointing likely is a
little of dead-center ... hihi.
That fact notiwthstanding, however, I remain convinced that each individual
station has its own sensitivity to pointing accuracy relative to effective
communications. Stations running relatively high power levels and well-
calibrated motorized antenna systems likely can be less accurate and still be
effective. I don't believe I and others enjoy that luxury when we set out to
work the satellites on handheld stations running lower power levels - in some
cases, much lower power levels.
The International Space Station provides at least a partial illustration.
Here, I don't worry about Doppler tuning with the ISS because (1) it's orbit
is lower (thus, it's closer) and (2) its radio runs significantly more power
than any of our other smateur satellites. Even at a "low power" setting of 5
watts out, it is 20x more powerful than SO-50 and 10x more powerful than AO-
27. I don't have to be as careful with pointing or Doppler tuning to enjoy a
good experience on an ISS pass. Not so when trying to capture and keep, for
example,?AO-27's half-watt signal.
Before I started working the amateur satellites about 14 months ago, I had
spent several years enjoying visible passes of the?ISS whenever I could. As I
learned of the available amateur satellites and decided to give them a try
with a handheld station, it became apparent to me very quickly that my
"practice" on the ISS would be helpful. I use a compass to match AOS/mid-
pass/LOS positions with known landmarks here, and then I visualize how a
satellite will arc across the sky relative to my location on a given pass. I
believe that has improved my pointing accuracy significantly, and I further
believe that accuracy makes a difference at times in whether I make a
successful contact.
This morning on AO-51, I made contacts with KB1RVT in Maine and WA3SWJ in
Maryland. Those contacts?provided the 29th and 30th states I have worked on
the FM satellites using my Yaesu VX-7R HT set at 50 milliwatts (.05-watt)
output. I have used either an Arrow dual-band yagi or my current Elk dual-band
log periodic to make all of those "flea power" contacts. I don't believe any
would have been possible without pointing and tracking that is as accurate as
I can make it, given my hand-holding and manual tracking.
That being said, I believe your creation of an antenna bore sight is an
outstandning idea - one that will help anyone improve the effectiveness of
stations using tower/mast-mounted antennas with motorized Az/El rotation
systems. Congratulations on that, and thank you for sharing it with the BB.
