Russian-built Soyuz rockets will send up the satellites in batches of two
from October 2012. By early 2014 it is anticipated there will be 16
satellites in orbit, see

Hi Andrew,
Theoretically, yes. Realistically, probably not.
If the "server" software is available, and be made to run on typical
PC CPUs, the answer is yes. I can't recall if the satellite/server
side of the software is available or not...search around. The client
side software was called PB and PG, so search for those. Also, you can
search for pacsat protocol. There is a *nix version of these out
there, too. I think the source code is posted. But for the satellite
side (server)--not sure.

Different CPUs on different spacecraft, mostly running a custom
spacecraft operating system (SCOS). Google 'bektek' and 'pacsats'
and you can find lots of information about the satellites--old and
new.
For eample:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/sats/nk6k/msatmain.html
There is CPU and memory information there about the original microsats...
Tons of information out there, really.

Hi all,
Yes very pleased to hear the news and was about to post the information to
the BBs.
Many congratulations to Sir Martin Sweeting and his team at SSTL - a very
just reward for all of the hard work and efforts by all involved. The news
is also published in full on the SSTL web pages.
Martin of course for anyone not aware is also Chairman of Amsat - UK and
plays a key role in his support
and contributions to the roles of amateur satellites and projects.
Best wishes and continued " Good Luck "

No. You will both have different doppler shifts so, for a common uplink
frequency, your downlink frequencies will differ.

Bob,
Years ago, Paul Williamson wrote a brief note on the tuning issue. It was
prescient in the days of primitive computers, few rigs with easy remote
frequency control, and very limited choices of tracking software. Take a
look at KB5MU's One True Rule paper:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/features/one_true_rule.html
If both operators are following it, and SATPC32 (and MacDoppler) does so
perfectly, to a large extent it effectively sweeps the Doppler issue "under
the rug." You can tune around, and always hear yourself when you key the
rig and say "aaaaah." More importantly, if the other station, say 5Y4GB is
using the similar technique, when you tune him in, he will hear you on
frequency. If WA4SCA then joins the QSO, both of you will hear me on
frequency, and I will hear both of you the same. Even more importantly,
everybody will remain in sync over the pass. It happens all the time on
AO-7, HO-68 in linear mode, etc.
As to your question about 145.950 MHz. If he tunes his RIG to that
frequency, and you tune your RIG, you will NOT be on the same frequency
initially. However, you will be close. +/- Doppler. This is equivalent to
an HF station saying he will be tuning 14.210 MHz +/- 5 KHz. It requires a
bit of initial tuning, but it is quick, and completely removes the worry
about tuning the uplink radio. The software automagically does it for you.
Once you tune him in, just talk. It is well worth the effort to absorb the
technique, and as more stations use it, the easier it will be to talk
without slowly drifting on top of others. Once you get above the V and U
modes, the Doppler shift is so large, and changes so rapidly, that it is
truly almost necesary.
With a slight modification to the exiting software, and a paradigm shift in
how we think about what frequency we are on, it is possible to specify the
"contact frequency" for everybody to use which will eliminate the initial
hunting. But that is for another rant. ;)

Hi Greg, Drew, etc
This conversation is starting to make my head hurt!? My example is to
connect with some of our European friends.? Some of them I share maybe a 60
second window, with PA1TNO it is less than 30 seconds.? I have had several
false starts in that I heard Paul 2E1EUB, by the time I located my downlink
on his, he was gone.? I want to predetermine where to set my uplink for a
given downlink.? There just is no the time be looking around.? Like I said
this is probably simple I'm just have trouble getting my thinking around the
concept.? Also if say I am planning on a downlink of 145.950 will Paul be
looking at the same frequency?? In the past these concepts never concerned
me as there was always plenty of time to yak it up with the locals on AO-7.

I understand, but with all due respect your assumption is incorrect that
long distance QSOs are always at TCA and zero Doppler, even
theoretically . This is only the case when the two stations are at near
right angles to the track of the satellite.
Use the following example. If I want to work LU5BOJ/O in FG75 from EL88
on HO-68, my only windows are at either LOS or AOS, depending on whether
it is an ascending or descending pass. Neither pass will be a low pass
for either station, and neither QSO will occur at TCA or zero Doppler.
In Bob's case, let's look at his next possible window with Paul, 2E1EUB
in IO92. Bob is in CN76. At the beginning of the 1 minute window
tomorrow at 1251Z, Bob's Doppler shift on 432 is -3.68 khz.
On the next mutual window at 1452Z, the beginning Doppler is -7.93 khz.
On the next, at 2020Z, it's -8.3 khz. None of these windows are over 2
degrees elevation, and none are at TCA for either station.
When you have 60s to make the QSO, being right dead on frequency is
essential.
Respectfully,
Drew KO4MA

It's unlikely you will notice any significant difference.
The band is already shared with many other users and a spread spectrum
signal will just raise your noise floor slightly,
assuming that one of their satellites is within your beamwidth.

Hi Louis,
Congratulations on your new IC-910H! I was the very lucky winner of
a new IC-910H at the AMSAT Symosium, so I have a bit of time on the
radio now.
I haven't used RigTalk, so I can't comment on that.
Regarding the CIV USB cable--my experience is that you do NOT need to
check the RTS + 12V option. I bought a cheap USB CIV level converter
on eBay, and it works perfectly without this option checked. My
homebrew interface, on the other hand, uses the serial port and
requires me to check that option, or else it doesn't receive power via
the serial line and won't work.
You will need to know which serial port number the USB converter is
using/emulating; there is a setting in SatPC32 where you must tell it
the comport number where the level converter (USB CIV cable) is
installed. You can use the Windows Hardware Tab/Device Manager to
figure that out.
Your addresses are correct for "default", they should work OK. Be
sure to also set the BAUD rate in both SatPC32 and the radio to match.
I think 9600 baud is the highest the radio will do. Be sure to read
the "Hints" sections in the SatPC32 program to figure out an
appropriate delay setting, too.
Lots of folks using this setup, so you should be able to get lots of
help as you get it going! SatPC32 is a fantastic program for working
satellites.
Personal question/note. I am interested in the output power of your
IC-910H. Mine is rather low on both VHF (75W) and UHF (45W). So, I
just sent it back to Icom in hopes they can make it meet "advertised
and published specs" in that regard. Shipping and insurance on that
radio was over $50! I won't complain since I won the radio :)

I agree with all you have suggested, Mark. I too had questions about
power output on the 910. I discovered that the power to the radio was
the culprit. Before you send it away, check and make sure you have #10
cables to the radio and your power supply delivers the correct voltage
and current. Mine does and it meets Specs on VHF and UHF on "both" my
910's.
One I have the 1.2ghz Module in. One I use for demos at field day and
hamfests etc.
Good luck.

Trevor,
I would guess with the controversy regarding our 1296 MHz band
operations and Galileo, we wouldn't be in good standing with the Galileo
folks so looking for ride share opportunities would be out of the
question???

Alas, my search is back on again for a service manual (not the instruction
manual, which does have
some technical info, but is not comprehensive) for the Icom IC-471A. I do
have the instruction manual,
as well as a schematic. Thanks again to all who helped previously, and
thanks in advance for anyone
who can help put me back on the trail.
Rich, N8UX

I'm presuming the launches will be from the Russian launch site at Kourou ?
Given it's a new site and the Russian haven't launched from a tropical
climate before I'd imagine there'd be some test launches first.

It'll raise the noise floor which could affect satellite based 1260 MHz
receivers. The other issue could be the jamming of Galilleo GPS receivers by
Amateurs using 1260-1300 MHz, see

Aaah - good point and worth exploring. Now all we need are some
contacts. Anyone have any suggestions?
