Hello Sion Chow,
I have placed information on LCD selection for the LVB Tracker on the
LVBTracker.com . These were generated from problems we experienced in
selecting LCDs for the complete tracker box.
The ethernet interface has only been tested by building a handmade interface
board between the Lantronix part and the 28 pin Tracker box socket. The
Lantronix software driver does essentially what the FTDI software does for
the USB module - it converts the serial data between the LVB processor and
computer serial port (real or redirected) to either USB or ethernet
communication. The computer tracking software thinks it is taking out a
standard serial port and the LVB Tracker processor thinks it is taking
through a RS232 serial port.
If you have a special program on the computer to generate rotor data into a
USB port or Ethernet port you can use the modules. Essentialy you are just
faking the computer tracking software into thinking it is still talking
through a serial port and using a USB or Ethernet connection between the
two.

Gould, WA4SXM

You simply keyed up and announced you were listening.
How about trying to use the more preferred protocol of...
Callsign phonetically. grid square, op mode

Use of the word, "listening," may be taken literally - you are on the

PCSAT has re-entered eclipses and so we end this month's
Satellite Simulated Emergency Test. We received 31 reports of
AMSAT users sending their SSET Email and receiving it. Sorry I
did not have time to QSL each report.
PCSAT-1 was fully operational from 8 to about 23 Feb 2008 during
full sun oribts. During this time, the packet system on ARISS
was not available due to Space Shuttle Operations. But today, I
did hear an RS0ISS-4 pass with active packets. SO anyone can
still get their practice in with sending their SSET messages at
any time via any of the PCSAT, ARISS, or GO-32 birds are in
view.
See: http://www.ew.usna.edu/~bruninga/sset.html
PCSAT does work for a few lucky packets during mid-day passes.
But the next full sun operating period probably will not work
until the Fall.
Next Month's test will concentrate on sending Emails via GO-32.
(Anyone with a D7 HT or D700 mobile radio can do this from
their front panel.).

On FM, in my opinion, there is no need for phonetics except for
calls with troublesome letters. Most calls can be heard easily
without using up time with phonetics.

I disagree, signal levels for some stations can be marginal,
especially on the downlink. There are also a LOT of troublesome
letters, particularly if your audio lacks high's. Is it a B, D, E,
G, P, T or V? :-) Or maybe it's a _really_ muffled C?
Also, if there is fading, the longer phonetics may still get enough
information through to avoid a repeat. Repeats are more costly in
terms of time, when they occur. And don't forget the impact of
different accents. I have enough problems with getting my details to
a lot of Americans (even when using phonetics!) over a good, strong
IRLP link. At least the smaller footprint of a LEO limits the
variety of regional accents in many cases.

Taken literally? Awwww...come on Clint. If I were just a listener
on the bird, why in the heck would I need to announce it on the air.
That just makes no sense whatsoever.
LISTENING = Announcing that I'm here for anyone else who may
also be on the bird and would like to make a contact
with me.

I mostly agree with this, there are some calls which
are rather difficult to pull apart sometimes, and often
just the fact that you are slowing down to say them
phonetically helps.
But perhaps this is a good time to introduce a little personal
rant of mine. First of all, I work satellites exclusively
QRP with a TH-D7A and an arrow antenna (no preamp).
This is a fun way for me to work, and I enjoy it a great
deal, and quite frankly, with some ear buds I can hear
the satellite very well, and always get good strong signal
reports above 10 degrees or so, which is pretty much
the minimum altitude I feel comfortable keying up on given
that my horizons are very nearly that high anyway in most
directions.
That's what makes the following particularly frustrating:
someone with a LOT more power than me simply comes
on and blasts over my QSO. Well, that's just the half of
it. It's even worse when they ask for a repeat (often
multiple times) for a callsign which I, with my completely
meager equipment, can hear perfectly well. Of course,
as I patiently wait to try to jump in at the end of a QSO,
I hear multiple people keying up and blasting over the
satellite. This happens time, after time, after time, after
time, especially on the more crowded passes over the
central U.S (I'm a west coaster).
Yes, I understand there can be fading and the like, but
once the satellite is above even ten degrees, I pretty
much always get full quieting from AO-51. I keep wondering
why people with presumably much larger stations have
so much more difficulty hearing the bird. I'm left with
equally puzzling alternatives: that people running much
more power than I simply don't have sufficient receive
gain to hear the satellite, or that they simply don't care
whether they interrupt existing communications and just
key up over people.
Some more minor peeves: people who take a long time
to thank people for the contact when the pass is very
busy, people who make a half a dozen or more contacts
on a busy pass, and people who apparently aren't listening
closely enough to realize that the person that they are
replying to has already given their callsign and grid half
a dozen times in the pass. (Yes, i know, the footprint
is continually changing, but c'mon... it gets a little silly).
Back to the original subject:
I find it hard to believe that it's hard for people to send and
receive full quieting signals to AO-51, even with the most
modest of equipment, at least over the great majority of
passes over 10 degrees or so. Perhaps if you are asking
for repeats, you should consider that your receive performance
isn't the greatest, you should work on upgrading that portion
of your station before clogging the satellite. The maxim
"you got to hear 'em to work 'em" should be the motto
of every satellite operator.
Hope to work more of you in the future.

I normally work the birds with a similar setup, and have no
difficulty receiving it. In the past, I used around 1W to access the
uplink with little difficulty.
>That's what makes the following particularly frustrating:

That's common, and the cause (at least down here) is invariably a
newbie trying to work the bird using a high gain vertical and no
preamp (For the newcomers out there, this DOESN'T WORK!!! Best to
try working it with a HT, seriously).

One of the things I hate about V/U is there is a 20 ish dB disparity
in the uplink/downlink power budgets, and that is in favour of the
uplink. U/V is roughly balanced. The former creates all sorts of
opportunities for alligators...

True, ESPECIALLY for satellites. If you can't hear it, fix your station! :)

In theory, yes. But from what I've heard the longer you take to give out your
call sign, the more likely it is that it will be stepped on, taken out by QSB,
or both. Speaking quickly but clearly seems to work best. Once contact is
made, the details on a the call sign can be verified and corrected while
(most) everyone else backs off. Then the pile-up can begin again.

Best guess at this point is that the Packet Digi would be available. We will
have 2 Cosmonauts and 1 American on board at that time but I have no idea of
their interest or availablity to participate.

The answer to all of these ridiculous arguments on calling protocol
is, of course, quit building FM voice 2 user satellites, like AO51.
AO7, is what, 25 years old, none of those problems existed there, and
still don't today.
Blame those that encouraged and built AO51....
A lot of us voiced our disapproval at the time it was proposed,
mostly for that very reason....and lost...
Why was it built??

Prepare to be amazed! I was.
If you wondered what they have built at the space station...have a look ....
This is a great animation showing all the segments of the Space Station,the
modules and the international partners that have helped create it.
Pass along to your friends and family to show them that this is what we've
been flying the Shuttle for the past several years!
