Anyone have a schematic??? I have the manual but that gives no
useful info on replacing the GASFET. Certainly not in the ICOM site.
Thanks in advance...

Steve N9IP did a very good job of explaining how to set up for VO-52 and
other transponder type sats. I have the TS-2000 and use SatPC32 with it
with great success on the FM birds especially ARISSat-1. There is one
clarification I would like to make to Steve's SOP. The "C+" and "C-" should
be "CW+" and "CW-". We don't want confusion between that and turning CAT
control on and off.
I used HRD Sat Track for years and always had problems with the Doppler
correction. This has not been the case with SatPC32. I love it and will
continue to use it for all my sat work. I am hoping to get more active since
I will be installing two mast mounted pre-amps tomorrow. The anticipation
is driving me nuts. I hope I am not let down.

Whoops! Carl is correct.
"C+" should be on during the entire procedure so that SatPC32 is controlling
the radio. Use "CW+" and "CW-" to switch from SSB to CW and back. That's
one of the problems with doing this from memory, at least from *my* memory.
;-)
Thanks Carl!

I use a FT-726R. An Alliance az rotor. A yaesu elevation rotor. And computer
control of none of them. And using them for both says and EME. Doppler is
not a big deal on EME. But, I'm as dumb as a stump.
Trial and error is the norm in my shack. If I can do it, any one can.
Just keep doing it until you hear yourself on the downlink.

I replace mine this way:
I cut the legs of the GASFET keeping the legs as long as possible and i
solder the new GASFET on the existing legs. Just place a piece of
insulating material on the relay coil near one leg to avoid any melting of
the coil insulation.

Hi.
UARS is currently the most tracked object on www.n2yo.com
The NASA object number is 21701
Current element set seems to be 639, but that probably gets updated quickly
now
Hope that helps

NASA just Twitted ...
Re-entry is expected between 11:45 p.m. Friday, Sept. 23, and 12:45 a.m.,
Sept. 24, Eastern Daylight Time (3:45 a.m. to 4:45 a.m. GMT). The satellite
should be passing over Canada and Africa, as well as vast areas of the
Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans.
NASA will be updating this shortly ...

Who cares if you can see it. What sort of meteor burn will we get off it?
Should ionize the E layer for several minutes.

NASA says it continues to wait for final confirmation of re-entry. "If
debris fell on land (and that's still a BIG if), Canada is most likely
area," the space agency just said.

Although I have severely limited satellite visibility I have been copying
telemetry from ARISSat1 for some weeks. I live in a valley surrounded by
chalk hills and cliffs over 100 metres higher than me so my visible horizon
is +12 degrees to +18 degrees at best. Also my 3+3 element short crossed
yagi and rotator are in the attic! This worked beautifully when the
satellite batteries held up and now when ARISSat is powered up. However I
notice it can take 10 minutes or more from the time the satellite enters
sunlight until the system bursts into life. At present this means los: Sat, 24 Sep 2011 11:24:41 +0100 (BST)

I agree with this observation here at IO92NL.
?
Arissat-1 does not switch on immediately when in sunlight, I have missed
several passes this morning and in the last few days.
?
I am just waiting for what the MET is announced (voice tlm) as at 1032 utc
AOS (coming up) and will backtrack to how long she has been in sunlight. The
difference ought to tell us the latency.
