Dear All,
Below are telemetry from ARISSat-1, 13 Aug 1057 UTC. Satelite was in
high power mode then switched to low power mode:
MET - 60 Min
IHU Temp - +40C
Control Panel Temp - +48C
Battery Voltage - 35.77v
Battery Current - -8mA (discharging)
This was also the first time using the FCD to copy ARISSat-1. I will
try to replay and send the BPSK telemetry later on.

All,
Mni tnx for the responses about netbooks. Generally, a lot of satisfaction
with them, with concerns abt. speed and keyboard size. In my application,
neither should be a problem. ASUS was highly recommended.

Mike,
Think to equalize the weights- If you have a large 2 meter beam on
one side, that should be the shorter...IE The 440 should be longer as
it will be lighter. Same with the front and back...
This will have the rotor work the easiest and let it survive a lot
longer...Balance them.
73,
Dee, NB2F

Not sure there is. I have had antennas mounted on 8 foot TV mast as
well as 4 foot cross boom PVC material. When you think of it how far
apart are the antennas on the satellite. I mount them on the end of
boom in a "X" configuration regardless and it always has worked for
me. I will be interested in others replies.

Mike:
My Cushcraft Oscar 2M/70cm elevation rotator had a aluminum crossboom at 50
inches in
length x 1 5/16 inch in diameter.
I would recommend a fiberglass crossboom vice aluminum to keep detuning of
both antennas to a minimum.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Hi Folks,
Hoping someone may have some ideas on a fault that has just developed in my
FT-736R radio.
The multi function S-meter has decided to quit on me. It does not indicate
in either receive, transmit, diiscriminator/ALC or any other position of the
meter selector switch. The radio though, still functions perfectly on both
transmit and receive - with no indication of any degradation in sensitivity
or transmit output power.
I will be pulling it to bits, but thought I'd first check to see whether
anyone has come across this particular fault.
The radio was bought new in the '90's and I have fixed one fault in the
power supply about 10 years ago.
Many thanks for reading this.
73,
Ron Taylor - VK6TF

On my 2200EDT pass nothing heard from ARISSat-1 on the entire pass. Is it
normal due to the rapid degrading batteries condition? or is it a
normal safe mode?

ARRISat-1 She's not going too well probably down the well! No more

Just hope for some recovery in sunlight when out of eclipse

>Using it in a spacecraft going through 14 shallow charge-discharge cycles
per day is new territory.
12 days since activation time 14 shallow charge-discharge cycles per day
=168 shallow charge-discharge cycles "Is shallow = normal charge-
discharge?"
Some specs:
Silver-zinc batteries are available off-the-shelf and have a higher specific
energy (130 Wh/kg) and density (240 Wh/litre) than most other
commonly available secondary batteries. High cost, limited cycle and shelf
life, and a long recharging process reduce its overall
attraction. While at normal discharge rates, 40 to 50 cycles can be expected
from the battery, this reduces to 10 or 15 at high discharge
rates. Cycle life is also reduced if the battery is discharged below 80% of
rated capacity and thus, a 20% reserve is required at the end
of the mission. Silver-zinc batteries have been used extensively in AUVs and
their performance is reliable and documented. Their high cost
and short life have, however, prompted consideration of alternative
technologies.
P.S. At 13 Aug 2011 04:44:03 UTC ARRISat-1 High Power mode has been
