I have been unable , so far, to get anything from FAST 2 on 145.825 with
satpc tracking for
doppler. I get a quick carrier keyed up but no packet data. And that is on
some pretty good 35+ degree passes. Any help would be appreciated.
I am able to hear and get data from FAST 1 fine. Thank es 73

Joe,
FAST2 is in Safe Mode. You can hear the 9k6 beacon every 2 minute. There is
no 1k2 AFSK beacon (in this mode).

Hi All,
I will be operating portable from EN70 tomorrow on the 1639z SO50, 1713z
AO27 and 1745z HO68 passes. We are due in Troy, Ohio at 1630z, so as long
as traffic moves okay, the SO50 pass should work fine. According to Google
Earth the location should be a good place for working the lower elevation
passes ? the only issue might be power line noise. I will be traveling with
the Arrow and (2) THG71A HTs.
If this is a new grid for you, send me an email with the QSO details and I
will send you a card. No need for a return card.
73!

Hope Erich is able to answer this question. When clicked onto WinAOS, I get
an
error message: "listenidex uberschreilet das Maximum (-1)". What does that
mean? It worked fine earlier this afternoon.

The UHF and VHF uplink and downlink use GMSK modulation:
CO-65 GMSK 9k6 digipeat
GMSK is now scheduled on every weekend over the world wide.
You can digipeat via CO-65 GMSK 9k6.
In Cute-1.7 + APD II, we provide the following services using 1200MHz uplink
and 430MHz downlink, on a trial basis.
1. Real-time relay communication service
2. Message box service
1267.6MHz high-speed packet communication (GMSK-9600bps) is used for uplink.
437.475MHz high-speed packet communication(GMSK-9600bps) is used for downlink.
The GMSK modulation is used in the D-STAR radio with the AMBE codecs i don't
know if the CUTE data can be decoded in the digital data
frames with the Icom D-STAR radio?

I use Sat Pc as my main sat. program and think it is does a great job.
However, not speaking or reading German, I have a hard time understanding
the error messages. Has anyone written an updated or translated version
with the messages written in English?

In looking around for information on 9600 baud GMSK, I find many reviews
dating back to the 1990s, and explanations on satellite project web pages,
that it is compatible with K9NG/G3RUH 9600 baud modulation. IF that is
correct, it should work with a strong signal. I recall (?) there is a
penalty amounting to a db or so. Perhaps one of the digital experts can
clarify this?

In reference to the change I made building the vertical dipole for AO-7 Mode
A,
I now have a better option that is working out great......the Moxon beam. I
found a calculator for working out the dimensions at:
http://www.moxonantennaproject.com
This website has all sorts of ideas in making this simple antenna.
I just building one to see how well it would work in my situation here, I made
my version using 1/2" PVC for a light weight frame and for the elements, #12
stranded electrical wire, which I zipped tied to the pvc frame. As shown in
the
picture, I just mounted it below my Arrow dualband yagi, at an elevation of
only
8 ft. Even at this low mounting, and surrounded by homes, I am quite
impressed
with this antennas results. I would recommend this antenna to anyone
wanting to
try and work Mode A with a low price RX antenna.

having troubles programming it and was wonder if it was worth the investment
in a USB cable and software ? Thanks in advance !

Michael,
While the VX7R is not duplex, It can be used for satellite contacts.
You do not need a programming cable as it can be programmed for separate
channels on TX and RX
And can be found in the manual how to do this. I have used it many times to
demo satellites at
Hamfests and meetings where say AO-51 is going to have a decent pass to use.
You must announce that
You are using a hand held during your cq's so the big guns stand by for your
contact to be made.
73,
Dee, NB2F

Hi Mike,
I use a VX-6R, but you can do the same to program your VX-7R for odd splits
(your manual pg. 46).
1. in VFO mode, store your receive frequency into a memory channel (AO-51 V/U
mode 435.300 MHz)
2. in VFO mode, turn to your transmit frequency (AO-51 V/U mode 145.920 MHz)
3. press and hold the MON/F key for a 1/2 second and release
4. withing 5 sec of performing step 3. dial to the memory channel number
stored
in step 1.
5. press and hold the PTT switch and then press the MON/F key to store the odd
split frequency
6. your memory channel will show a +/- repeater shift indicating independently
stored transmit/receive frequencies.
I've programmed several memory channels to compensate for doppler at 5 kHz
intervals (AO-51 V/U mode 425.310, 425.305, 425.300, 425.295, 425.290)
I hope this helps.
73's Peter VE7NGP
