Hi Henk
Particularly regarding your attempt to receive the ISS, do you see a
significant increase in noise floor when you connect the antenna at VHF,
potentially 20dB or more?
If so, it may be being overloaded from the sum of VHF signals coming into
the radio. When you use a preamp it almost certainly has a bandpass filter
in it. The filtering on the FCD at VHF is rather wide bandpass with 3dB
cutoffs between about 60MHz and 270MHz. Thus if there's significant pager,
band II FM, or Band III DAB etc traffic the front end gets a bit swamped,
and your noise floor rises.
We're already looking into simple recommended methods of alleviating this.
The first thing is to make sure you're using the 18c firmware as this
implements tighter filtering. I also found that simply using the VHF port of
a V/U di/duplexer worked well in some situations. The best results I found
were with the middle port of a CFX-514 triplexer. If you have close in pager
interference then you'll need something rather tighter. In the UK for
example, we often have pagers at 138 and 153MHz.
At UHF and above, the FCD uses tighter programmable bandpass filters so we
don't tend to experience this at these frequencies.
The front end of the FCD is pretty sensitive, with all units measured and
targeted for 0.15uV for 12dB SINAD on NBFM. But if there are fairly strong
out of band signals, this will inevitably raise the noise floor.
73, Howard G6LVB

Some more FUNCube dongle results:
(not much new information, just want to share my few hours
time today to spend on the FCD which I really enjoyed)
Using 2x6 elements 145 MHz:
- VO52 USB downlink great, with and without preamp
Using 1x12 elements 435 MHz
- AO51 FM downlink great with preamp, without noisier
- HO68 CW beacon great with preamp, good without
OK. So with the normal antennas the FCD works great.
Time to try thew absolute minumum: Outside in the garden, laptop
plus a simple vertical for 145 MHz; ISS packet: nothing heared/seen.
Was a surprise to me, as ISS is normally extremely strong.
Also tried AO51 FM with just a dipole outside: nothing heared/seen.
Both passes were >80 degrees elevation.
So for now I guess you need either a beam or a preamp.
Then again, the unit is the size of a USB memory stick and
has a range 60MHz -1.7 GHz - no complaints !
Overal I am still very impressed. The dongle connected to my
normal antenna system (beams + pre-amps) gives great results.
Just listened twice to a VO52 pass, and listening in USB was very
comfortable, audio sounds very nice until 0 degrees elevation
(using WRplus).
Amazing to be able to watch the entire downlink spectrum, and
see a few QSOs in parallel, seeing multiple stations tuning (their
signals going from left ro right and back until they hear themselves).
Of course everyone else had SDR for satellites already :-) For me
this is just amazing. Great work by the FUNCube Dongle team.
We often see discussions on how to get SSB for a few $'s and start
to compare various conventional transceivers. Well, the FCD is surely
an option to reduce cost on the downlink: all mode / all bands.

All,
I uploaded a new version of SATCONTROL_FCD (V. 0.8.1). The software is using
Mike's ExtIO_FCD.dll (must be in the same directory).
You can now correct the doppler frequency in Hz steps - so you can also
track satellite CW beacons :-)

Dear Howard,
>From my initial (out-of-the-box) experiments it is clear that with proper
input filtering results are very (very) good.
Using my beams I have such filtering in the pre-amps, as you correctly
assumed. Also, when using the vertical in my 'tower' I use indeed a
triplexer, you are right again, works fine.
In such situation I have similar results as with a Kenwood TS2000 (!)
Sensitivity of the FCD is indeed outstanding (especially for such a
wide frequency range). I can hear satellites until 0.0 degrees elevation.
>From Nico PA0DLO I understand that he also experiences on VHF influence
by nearby signals. We compared our FCDs here at my station, they are similar.
Still Nico has more issues receiving the same stations compared to me, even
though we are a few miles apart. This can be local pagers etc (his
assumption).
But it can indeed also be filtering: we tested the same local beacon at 126
MHz
in my station with a triplexer, and as far as I know he uses directly a
wide-band
discone antenna.
Which confirms your assumptions as well.
Back to the ISS test. I expected the Kenwood would have received those
signals.
Even though no filtering from a triplexer or pre-amp. But: a Kenwood (or
ICOM 910
or so) has also filtering at the antenna input stage. Which the FCD does not.
Which would confirm that prefiltering is important.
Indeed I do notice that sometimed the spectrum has changes in noise floor
levels.
You see that when suddenly the whole spectrum becomes lighter/darker.
Unfortunately it will take me until next weekend to do more tests. On the
other
hand, my reports were ment to encourage others, no scientific measurements.
Would be better (more factual) if this would be done with a few signal
generators.
Then again, I expect the FCD to be sensitive enough. We are now taking it
to the extremes and see go low (small) we can go :-)
Great stuff - extremely motivation
(IMHO the FCD is the most exciting "creation" of the past 10 years)
Henk
ps: I did use the latest firmware

I just tried out the new SATCONTROL_FCD for the FunCube with 1 Hz steps on
FO-29. Worked well! No need to run Howard's control program now.
Easy SSB copy on KI6CQ, WB4LHD, WA6DIR and K8RO. I actually heard several
AO-51 FM uplinks on the FO-29 downlink as well - K8YSE and KI6CQ.
I posted a screen of a station looking for his downlink. You'll see the dits
all over the screen.

Hi Marco,
If you are looking to lash something together (instead of going with a
purpose-built Elevation rotor), I and others have had success with
Television-type rotors that have a through-hole for the mast. Mounted on
their side, they seem to perform very well. Just keep things balanced, and
protected from the weather and they should be happy.
See: http://home.wavecable.com/~ko6th/
I used an Alliance U-110. It has performed flawlessly for about 10 years now.
Good luck,
Greg KO6TH

satellite tracker because it is almist identical to the app that came out

Hello Ryan,
The problem with AO-16 is that when we turn it on, it goes OFF almost
immediately. It won't stay up long enough to be useful. The reason remains
the same--it's temperature related. The orbit doesn't appear to change
enough to warm up the internal temperature of spacecraft for over 10 years...
I did turn it ON just a few weeks ago. It stayed up for about 10-15 secs.
It is possible that the hardware issue (a transistor is the best guess)
causing the problem will change--but that is not very probable.
We will keep checking and hoping, but don't expect it to become operational
for a long time...
73!

Hi folks,
Delfi - C3 uses partial deployed solar panels and whilst having other on
board problems is still sending
data which I monitor on a regular basis.
Remember also that it does not use batteries and is therefore only
functional when in sunlight.
Temperatures must be quite high on such a small area - Just a thought.

Yes Bill,
Like I said ... the *TRANSPONDER* will be off ...
See <http://oscar.dcarr.org/>
The *BEACON* will be on - for testing.
