You know Tim. You are one of those people that get under some of our
skins. If you read "all" of my email, you note I stated that the FT-817
worked fine under HRD. So I do take offense at your comments. Both
radios work fine under HRD. I'm started to play with SatPC32 and since
its radio setups are not quite as intuit as others, I have found that
the SQF files are why I am having some of the problems. The German error
message is obviously a problem with SatPC32ISS and looks to be some sort
of memory problem but can't read German. I have to use Task Manager to
close it.
I feel your pain as I have been unemployed for 27 months. A simple
comment of "it sounds like an SQF file problem" would have suffice.

Reid, W4UPD

Slow Scan TV Stuff:
There are three different SSTV projects on ISS.
#1 Kenwood VCH1 Communicator (flight approved)
#2 PC based software called SpaceCam1 from Marexmg.org (flight approved)
#3 PC based software called MMSSTV (not flight approved)
Only the Kenwood VCH1 and Marex SpaceCam1 projects were approved for flight.
The MMSSTV software was an untested back door project.
The VCH1 Communicator is a microphone with a camera, that plugs into the
Kenwood TM-D700 transceiver. The camera requires four (4) AA batteries.
The camera did not pass an external power flight safety test and cannot be
plugged into an external 6 volt power source. Without batteries the camera
will not run.
The VCH1 will consume a full set of 4-batteries in 4-8 hours. Batteries
weigh 25 grams each or approximately 3.5 ounces for a full set. It costs
approximately $10k per pound to send cargo to the ISS via the shuttle.
One set of batteries for the VCH1 cost approximately $2,800.
The VCH1 is only used, when there is a set of batteries that have reached
the end of useful life from other more critical projects. The mostly dead
batteries are then used on the VCH1 until they are complexly dead.
The PC software SSTV projects run off of station power and do not need
batteries. The SpaceCam1 SSTV projects supports most of the common SSTV
protocols. It also has some great features requested by the Mir crew, such
as a Slide show mode that will stream a disk directory of images continually
or live USB camera images.
The SpaceCam1 and all other laptop to Radio applications cannot be used
unless they are constantly monitored. This is because the Vox box (?ISS-HAM
SSTV/VOX?, part number SXISS00500) that connects between the laptop and the
Kenwood TM-D700, locks the radio in Transmitting mode.
The most logical reason for the lockup is RF feedback jamming the Op-amp
that controls the transmit signal to the radio. During 2+ years of ground
testing the Vox box was tested with an external 9-Volt battery to power the
Vox box. A few months before flight to ISS, the Vox box was modified to
get its power from a 13.5 volt source inside the TM-D700 transceiver. The
existing 6-Pin Din on the D700 was removed and an 8-Pin Din connector
installed. The 2 extra pins were used to tap off a 13.5 volt source from
some unknown location inside the D700.
According to the Vox box schematic, there does not appear to be any RF
decoupling on the power or audio leads. The voltage sources also changed
from 9 volts to 13.5 volts DC. The Vox box, also does not contain any type
of mechanical bias to adjust the TX / RX control levels.
Both boxes sent to ISS failed the same way, the first time you send and
image from the laptop to the D700, the transmitter stick on for 3 minutes
(the internal watch dog timer will stop the TX after 3 minutes). The
process repeats until you disconnect the Vox box from the D700.
If you would like to see a continuous steam of SSTV images from ISS, the I
suggest you contact the educational departments of your ISS space agencies
and request the USB Vox replacement project be sent to ISS. The exiting
ARISS hardware team is content with the way the ?ISS-HAM SSTV/VOX? is
currently running.

OK .. I Stayed awake ( worked graveyard shift last nite ) listened and use
HRD to track and
Was using bad sat defs .. I changed the file used and updated that one
And it matches my other tracking software.
I showed ISS Due north of FN23 at 2011 UTC
And will be Due south at 2148 UTC
I heard nothing on the 2011 UTC Pass .
Could they have stopped transmitting as it is getting darker outside here
now?

Yes, it has been described as a "demented monster canary", which is a
rather accurate description of the SSTV sounds. ;) Best way to find
out is install some SSTV software (MMSSTV is good and free), and
"transmit" SSTV using your speakers. :)

My old Kenwood TM-731A seems to work fine; has 2 antenna ports, so either
seperate 2m or 70cm antennas or get a diplexer. +35 watts out. I am sure
there are newer rigs, but cant complain about this old critter.

The Kenwood TM-D710 does very well. And if not on the birds, APRS and

One of the new rigs was the Yaseu TH-D7A. I use this and it works very well.
They are no longer produced, but you occasionally see one posted here on the
BB and on ebay.
There was one on here just a few days ago. You have to move fast on them
since they are very popular.

Without batteries the camera will not run.

I am submitting an update to the AMSAT WSR page to show Sapphire
as dead.
Sapphire was declared non-operational on 22 March 2007 by Mike
Swartout of Washington University (one of the original (then
students) who built Sapphire at Stanford). The last known
contact was by Bill, KB2RC on 5 Nov 2004. (his QSL report was
just from a copied email, so if anyone else wants to claim last
contact, lemme know...)

Hello Mike,
The FO-29 was active in South America (22:10 UTC - 27-01-2010), also with
