Hi,
With its relatively high area to mass ratio, ARISSat 1 is
quite sensitive to space weather changes. In the past two
weeks solar flux values have been relatively low, around
140, while they were around 180 in the weeks before. Also
there have not been any magnetic storms.
As a result of this low solar activity, the expected decay
date of ARISSat 1 has now slipped to the end of December.
My current prediction is 27 December. But if solar activity
stays at these low levels, the decay date will even shift
into early January. So it is still too early to make any
sensible predictions.
73,
Nico PA0DLO

Hi Nico,
?
Good to see postings on this topic.
?
I plotted daily change in Mean Motion, and then plotted Solar Flux for the
same period. (15days).
It'snot obvious from the shapes of the two graphs that?SF?is producing the
daily variation.
I tried the correlation function in Excel which returned a figure of -0.54
for the two data sets. ( 1= perfect correlation)
?
Fairly new to "orbital decay predictions" so would be?interested in any
comments you may have, or anyone else on the list who is knowledeable on
this subject.
?

I would appreciate info on what the currently available satellite radios
are. We have used the IC-910 and FT-736R for some time and now need to
recommend a radio to a couple of groups building cubesats. The 736 is
of course long gone but it appears the 910 is also no longer made. We
recently helped a group who had bought a TS-2000 and I was not
particularly impressed with it as a satellite radio.
So what's current and what works well on V and U?

Other than the TS2000, the only other satellite radio currently on the
market is the Icom 9100. Looks like a great radio, though.

Jim,
As someone else replied, there is the IC-9100. Pretty much everything but
the kitchen sink is available for it. In the same range is the Flex VU-5K.
It is still a work in progress, and there are some rough edged on the
TS-2000 emulation which you use for CAT control. Still, it is impressive to
be able to watch the entire passband of an analog satellite. Both are
almost certainly overkill if you are looking at CubeSat telemetry and
control.
For a basic VU rig, I would try and find a good used FT-847. They are also
out of production, but they come up on eBay from time to time. Mine, from
1998, is still going strong, though it is being moved to backup status.
Later ones preferred, as Yaesu made several incremental improvements over
the production run.
Finally, software such as SATPC32 will allow you to take two rigs, such as
FT-817s, and operate them as if it were one, full duplex rig.
73s,
Alan

Why limit yourself to current radios? The Icom 910 isn't made now
but there are a lot of them around. The much older IC-275/IC-475
are cheaper still but give great performance. Harder to get, but I'll
bet with a little luck you could get a pair of them for about the same
price as a 910H.
Another thing to think of is an Elecraft with their 2m/70cm transverters.
The Flex 5000 with their 2m/70cm board would make a fantastic rig,
albeit at a price (3500 ish?) but is in the neighborhood of the 9100.
The IC-290/IC-490 are older ssb rigs, but they'd work pretty well, too.
A few thoughts...

Hi Jim,

it, but talked to people that have used both and nothing but praise

All,
I would put my hand up for the Yaesu FT 847. Its designed for, and has all
the features a full duplex sat radio needs (4 antenna connectors, 12 V over
coax out for mast-mount pre-amps, normal and inv. doppler correction, plenty
of memory spaces etc.)? It works flawlessly on U/V and is a pretty decent HF
+ 6 m rig, too. Connect that to a laptop with SatPC32 and you are all set. I
work all currently usable satellites with a modest antenna setup with no
problems whatsoever (unlike the TS2000 which apparently has a birdie on the
Oscar 29 downlink frequency).
As it has been said, they pop up on ebay / vkclassifieds every once in a
while. You should be able to get a good used one for about 800 US + 150
shipping from the states.
Andreas

Yes,
FT-847 especially higher serial number is still one of the best satellite
rigs.
I have used the IC-910, the TS-2000 and the FT-847 and I have stories
on all of them. I still have the FT-847!

DEAR AMSAT MEMBERS.
Please help me.
I have yaesu g-5500 rotator. for 1 year. it works good but now it doesnt
rotate in elevation axes. I press the up and down switches in controller
but there is no change in meter indication and also no change in antenna
position in elevtaion axes.
in azimuth it rotate true. but the calibration is not true. i mean that
when antenna position on the roof change 180 degree the azimuth indicator

Hi Myles,
I use the LVB + G5500 and it works well. I have mine set up with the
G5500 as a North stopping rotator, and have it set for 360 degrees max
az. I also just used the front buttons on the LVB to program it,
found it much easier following the on-screen menu prompts than
entering FEN/FEE/FW commands via PC prompt.
