Thanks all for your help. I put in an order for an SSB Electronics SP-2000
yesterday. BTW, I did notice that the HF-BERG preamps can't handle as much
power.
Thanks,

One of the best SSB alternatives is actually the preamps from HF-Berg
in Germany!
http://hf-berg.de/HFC/preisliste_amateurfunk.htm
You can contact them directly and they will ship it to you. The price
for their 2m preamp with VOX and protective housing is currently Euro
154. That's what you more or less will pay once they deduct the local
sales tax because you buy from the US and add shipping cost.
Don't worry about the website being in German they are very good in
getting back to you in English and their shipping is quick and
reliable and they take PayPal.
Hope this helps,
Stefan

Dave, first make sure you have updated the keps from all the sources
available in HRD. Then, under the 'Satellite' tab there should be a choice
of 'ISS' and 'ARISSAT1'.
You have selected the ISS instead of ARRISAT. Actually, you can choose to
have both show as separate tabs in the sat window.

I have a strange problem in hrd's satellite tracking program. When I am
tracking arissat-1 the satellite name is written on the screen correctly but
the voice announcements for aos, los and other alerts call it the
international space station. How can I fix the voice alerts? What files if
any can I edit to remedy this problem? Other than that odd behavior the
program works well. Any information would be appreciated.

I hope you are not planning on running 200W into the satellite via
your 2M4. The HF-BERG 100W option (VOX) is already too much.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Pass Duration vs Max Elevation
Message-ID: <4E98D649.70204@xxxxxxxx.xx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Another question from a satellite newbie.
I'm working on a satellite pass information query system via APRS
messaging and am currently providing future pass duration as a layman's
indicator of the "quality" of an upcoming pass. I've been told that
duration is "of little value" (see below for the full quote) and a max
elevation is all that matters.
In my (relatively short) time of watching various pass predictions, I've
found a nearly direct correlation between the duration of a pass and the
max elevation achieved. I've not noticed a "longer low pass" nor a
short high pass for that matter. Low elevation passes are short, and
high elevation passes are long.
So, my question, to be answered from the perspective of hoping to get
more people aware of satellite passes by making it easy to casually
query their availability while at the same time providing useful
information to people that frequently "work the birds" (if I've got that
expression correct) while they're away from their normal prediction
tools is:
Would a forecast pass duration (expressed as a delta time) be useful in
this context, or is that truly "of little value" and the Max Elevation
of a pass should be provided necessitating a potentially greater
education of the general populace?
Lynn (D) - KJ4ERJ - Author of APRSISCE for Windows Mobile and Win32
PS. Here's my original reasoning for pass duration rather than max
elevation and the comments I received in reply. The sender of the
response is purposely kept anonymous so that I can get independently
reasoned responses and not just agreements with the quoted source.

Sorry, but time is of little value since it can be a longer low pass that
one has no prayer of working from a mobile because it is so low. So
elevation tells it all. A low max elevation is not worth bothering with no
matter how long it is. A high elevation pass will have a nearly 10 dB
advantage to the mobile operator and is very important information. And
also, by definition it is longer.
And satellite operators know the approximate length of a pass. For a
mobile, the shortest is the ISS with about 5 minutes useable. For PCSAT1,
about 10 minutes max. All other satellites are somewhere in between or are
not usually workable from an FM mobile rig with omni antenna. So the few
minutes difference is of little value.
I dont think people are going to arrange their daily schedules around
whether a satellite is going to be useable fo 5 minutes or 8 minutes. But
they certainly will change plans for a 60 degree pass compared to a 10
degree pass.

Am I missing something but is there not a listing for FO-29 on the Sat
Status page?

Look at the list of all satellites and it's there. Since it's currently
inoperative, it drops off the regular status page.

Lynn,
The correlation works well for birds in a circular orbit, but elliptical
orbits are another story. A high elliptical orbit could result in a long
pass at a very low elevation, or a very short pass at 90 degrees if perigee
is over the ground station. Since the current fleet of birds are in circular
orbits it won't matter but if you are coding a program you might want to
account for possible future HEO birds. I find both numbers to be useful
(pass duration and max elevation).

On The Air (JOTA) during
the weekend October 15-16, 2011. The AO-51 satellite will remain in its
current configuration, with
an understanding that contacts involving Scouts will be given first priority
during this period.
The current operating mode of AO-51 is as follows:
??? Uplink: 145.880 MHz FM (No PL tone)
