The SignaLink USB worked for me. I copied 39 telemetry frames on the first
full-daylight pass here in San Diego using the unmodified SignaLink USB
hooked between the 6-pin data port of an IC-7000 and a MacBook Air, with
manual tuning, omni antenna, and obstructed horizons.

Case: Using ARISSatTLM with the output of HDSDR (connected to FCD SDR).

- using Win XP (by luck ?) ARISSatTLM selects the decoded output of HDSDR
(volume of HDSDR varies the input level of the ARISSTLM window)

- using Win7 64bit ARISSatTLM seems to select another input (unclear which)

How can I select which sound card ARISSatTLM should use ?

Hi Henk,

I seem to have the same problem as you do, and how I overcame it is to
ensure that the sound card that you want ARISSatTLM to use is the default
system sound card.

Perhaps the developer of ARISSatTLM can place an option in the software to
allow us to select the desired sound card to use with it?

Ray,
I heard you solid, 589, with some QSB, but never faint.  I didn't reply
because I was going back and forth to 145.825 to see if the packet was
operational (it was not).  I did not hear the reported QRM from packet
bursts over that pass (Pacific, SoCal, & Baja).
73,
Jerry, K5OE

---- original message -----
I heard myself calling CQ for about 2 minutes, peaking 569, but  no takers
that I could hear.  Then, about 2 minutes later, I heard  AA5PK calling CQ,
about the same strength, but I could no longer hear  myself.

It's a challenge!

Hi Nigel

I do not understand, sorry. Can you give more details ?
In Win XP I know how to do that, not in 7

How do I have HDSDR select the FCD USB device as input
and then ARISSatTLM select the output of HDSDR as input ?

Right now it selects the laptop build in MIC, when I disable
that HDSDR stops working (unclear to me why btw).

Hi Sion,
Great suggestion.

Another suggestion:
Not for us experimenters, but for schools / teachers / others / .. :

ARISSatTLM setup under Win7 worked fine, the assumed directory
for the TLM storage was indeed used.

For Win XP this did not work: I got an error message when starting
ARISSatTLM, it looked for the directory on the wrong place (it was
created somewhere else). So I moved that directory to the place
it was looking for it, and it works.

I know there is a heads up on this issue during the install process, but
still.
For those many new people we try to interest (those 1+ million AMSAT
reached with the press release), it would be good to fix this.

Just my 2 cents.

Henk

(btw: the SW overall looks good & quite appealing (also important in this
case),
it seems to incorporate the best ideas of recent other space programs,
including Delfi-C3, RAX, ..)

Another idea (maybe this is already in place and I missed it)
It would be nice to have on the ARISSat telemtry website (latest values)
an overview of which stations submitted the data (they entered their
callsign under 'tools').
That would highly motivate new people to contribute. Imagine you are a
student,
and build a receive set-up, and can show your teacher your name/call is
listed on the official
ARISSat website ! Projects like RAX and FASTRAC do this already:

Doesn't Win 7 have a control panel with Sound option.
You need to set the desired sound devices as the defaults.

Hi Henk,

I totally agree with your suggestion, and to make it easy student is
the key to get the younger generation interested in all these.  I also
understand that the ARISSat-1 team is already working on a page to
show the submission of telemetry, so we shall wait a while and see.

OK !

So there is no way to select between either the soundcard (read output from
HDSDR)
or the FCD (which is in the system also a soundcard.

BUT: here is the work around;
step 1: disconnect the FCD
step 2: start ARISSatTLM (only th normal sound card is present, which it
selects)
(not: in the Tuning indicator no signal is seen)
step 3: plug in the FCD (into the USB port of the PC)
step 4: start HDSDR
 >>> and now ARISSatTLM shows the output of HDSDR

Voila (the French would say)
