Hi Jeff,
It doesn't recognize the entire protocol set, just the basic ones to move
the unit.

Got a bunch from you Patrick!
I have over 4000 QSO's uploaded to LOTW for satellite.
Less than 100 confirmations so far, but some are coming in each
day. And only 11 countries confirmed out of about 86 worked!
Even the 6 meter stuff is disappointing! There are a lot of 6 meter
DXCC QSO's being made every year, and so far about only 10 or
12 confirmed on 6 via LOTW, and most of those I already had with
real QSL's.
73,
John

There have been a lot of great comments about the
LVB Tracker. I will add one that hasn't been made.
I used the LVB Tracker, assembled by WB8CXO, on my
Satellite Grid Expedition around Lake Superior in
August 2010. It drove a G5400b rotor on a tripod
mounted in the bed of my F150. The rotor which
supplies power to the LVB tracker through the DIN
plug in the rotor control box was powered by an
AC inverter. That inverter was powered on/off
hundreds of times during the 5000 mile trek, on
paved and on dirt/gravel roads. I had calibrated the
LVB Tracker before we left and I never had to re-calibrate
it during the entire trip. It worked flawlessly under
the most demanding conditions.
You don't want to be fiddling with your equipment when you
are on an expedition. There is enough going on that demands
your attention without having to make adjustments. SatPC32
worked every time and the rotor never missed a beat. A few
hundred operators have some pretty rare grids confirmed thanks
to these great products (and my XYL W8ZJB for letting me work
the birds during our 5 week vacation).
Both SatPC32 and the LVB Tracker are sold by AMSAT. Buying
them helps AMSAT and gives the buyer bulletproof software and
hardware so you can concentrate on operating. When you purchase
them it's a win-win situation.

Hi to all,
I use my rig 5km far from its installation using a 2.4GHz wireless Lan
"bridge".
I have two computers one in each location running Ham Radio Deluxe
server/client.
Audio is transferred via two voip lan phisycal phone, that direct calls each
other or via a voip PBX (another small pc) on my lan.
Rotator is controlled via hrd rotator module that connects to a virtual serial
port over the lan connected via a lan to serial converter to a homebrewed LVB
tracker (remote site).
The aim would be to try to eliminate the computers to control the rig.
The remote rig is TS2000 and the things would be done if I would purchase the
RC2000 display that connects to the serial port.
But I would like to investigate, before to try myself, if some one have ever
deal with that, to make a rig controller via serial link (that is easy to
bridge
over the lan), using the built in protocol.
any idea?

I have a set running a 6 meter remote SSB remote base. Works very
well. Dual rs-232 ports. You could use the front panel or HRD or TRX to
control the TS-2000. About $ 450. Just make sure you test everything and
set levels with all the boxes in one room before you go to the remote site!

I second that!
I have been back on satellites for a little over 2 months after being absent
from this aspect of the hobby for 30 years.
I am restricted to operating AO-7 Mode A at present because of a lack of
functioning 70cm equipment. In those 2 months , I have heard about 25 unique
calls with a small fraction of that being what I would consider regulars.
There is even a smaller fraction of that total that posts on the AO-7 log
page.
I have listened on Mode B and there seems to be much more activity there.
Why? Is it because of the 10m downlink?
If I can work AO-7 mode A with my lash up system, anyone can.
Why don't you give mode A a try. It's not very busy and is very reliable.
Hope to hear some new activity on Mode A. Drop me an email if you would like
to set up a sked.

will notice how much activity it gets from our European friends, as compared
with the U.S. From many parts of the U.S some good DX can be had. Even
from way over here in Seattle I can work a "piece" of Europe. Given the age
of AO-7 I consider every QSO a gift.

+2 for the Fox Delta kits!
After beating around with an FODTrack, and a "Satellite Tracker Sr.", I
bought one of the Fox Delta kits.
I had it built in a few hours, and up, calibrated, and running a couple
of hours after I set my station up out on the back porch.
Works *perfectly* with SatPC2 using the "Easycom" protocol, and as
someone else said here, now that I have my station under full PC
control, I can concentrate on communicating!
