I'm developing an app to read SatPC32 DDE output and in turn drive an
iOptron MiniTower Az/El telescope mount. Most of it works - just
fiddling with the algorithm to avoid cable wrap as the mount has no turn
limit. Mount info here:

After the 0300 pass I'll leave my mailbox open (K8TL-1). If you can't sleep
and the bird isn't QRL try to leave me a message. I'll leave things set on
1200B.

"the team has decided to open up FASTRAC-1 to the amateur radio community
with the hope as more people use it to digipeat through the satellite, the
battery levels will diminish and cause a hard reset of the microcontrollers
on board."
So the only reason we get to use it is to wear down the batteries in hopes
of a hard reset. Then what they turn the digipeater back off?
Well at least we get to have some fun, I heard it last pass and will try
this next one if I can get the split in my radio in time. I dont suppose
there will be a message board like the ISS?

Here's what I do, it works for me for any off-screen windows:
* Click on the taskbar to make sure your off-screen window is selected.
* HIt Alt-Space to bring up the window minimize/maximize/close/move dialog.
* Choose Move.
* Hit any arrow key (important - this starts the move process).
* You can now (left-click-and) drag the window back onto your main screen
using your mouse.
Hope it helps!!!

Interestingly, the last two attempts (two nights ago, and this evening) to
repeat this have failed. I briefly tried the other uplink frequency,
145.980, tonight, without success either. I did hear 4 or 5 beacon packets
from FAST1 (they're quite distinctive, with all the "G"s in them), so
everything else seems to be in order. Most of them decoded, but I had
APRSISCE/32 configured to not pass beacons from RF->IS, so they didn't get
posted. I believe there were also couple of other packets from the
satellite as well but they didn't decode at all.
So, either I had incredible luck earlier with the packets that did go
through, or we now have a lot of other folks trying to uplink, with the
result that the satellite isn't hearing anything that can be retransmitted.
I am concerned that this weekend's attack on the satellite will be totally
ineffective, because an overloaded is nearly equivalent to one that is
totally empty. Neither full nor empty will accomplish the command team's
objective of increasing the Transmit duty cycle, to drain the batteries.
Anybody else having any success recently?

Hi Jeff,
if you have at least a part of the program window on the screen move it back
with the mouse to the position you want. Then close the program from the
menu "File", "Quit". That will save the last screen position. Closing the
program with the "x" control will not.
If the window is completely off the screen, change the two first entries in
the text file "SatPos.SQF" in the SatPC32 DATA folder, for example set both
values to 0. The window will then be positioned in the uppler left corner of
the screen.
The data folder is hidden by default. So, make all files and folders visible
(Explorer- Tools - Folder Options - View). The path of the folder depends on
the OS, under XP it is C:\Documents and Settings\Username \AppData\SatPC32,
under Vista and Windows 7 it is C:\User\Username\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32.

Maybe we should be launching more c*b*s*ts with APRS digipeaters on board?
What we really need is a good, stable TNC that doesn't require obsolete
chips or closed-source firmware. It can't be that hard, can it? Oh look, a
couple of Arduinos, a Tiny-2 and a week off work - well, let's just try and
find out eh?

I don't really like the message board on the ISS, because what invariably
happens is that some idiot fires onto the message board and then that's
everyone else locked out of the fun for the entire pass. They manage to get
logged in, then for the next ten minutes it just ends up sending retrys
because the ground station isn't getting in very well. Once someone is on
the message board, it stops digipeating.

Well, with the odd exception the list seems to be largely spam-free. I

Oh, were you talking about "moderating" discussions you don't like? Yeah,
there's another word for that. Can't quite remember it, it's on the tip of

Sorry I meant the Stations Heard via ISS I know about logging in to the
Maildrop. Did not get in on the pass I mentioned before, but I did hear some
packets. Did not come through on my screen anyway. Can we get another
clarifacation on the path? FAST1 or FAST-1? I saw KO6TH was trying and K8TL
did get into the Maildrop and said also that he saw some unproto go through.
I think it is almost as fun as voice when it is working good.

Hi John, G7HIA
when you are in simulation mode,
over the clock (on the right of Orbitron page) you have AUTO-FWD,
if you clik on this , it changes in AUTO-BCK (the simulation go back in the
past),
if you click again, it changes in AUTO-OFF and the simulation stops.

Never fear about lack of logging from APRSISCE/32! Looks like the UDP
direct RF feed works even if RFtoIS is disabled. No worries, though,
because the direct RF feed doesn't use APRS-IS. But anyway, here's the
packets that were received (times are Eastern US, UTC-0500):

Orbitron Help
Thanks to those who replied.
Now that I know how to pause the Orbitron simulation I can get on with the
orbital decay project I am working on.
?
I just love it when members of this?bb are so helpful.
Its what its all about.

Thanks Dave! and Erich!
My window no longer starts off screen, had no idea the "Quit" was
different than "x".
See you on the birds.

Again, demeaning what others are doing accomplishes nothing positive.
>From inception, through design, and since Launch, the FAST1 team has always
said that as soon as the primary science data mission is complete the
satellites will be turned on for routine amateur radio APRS operation.
In the past, they have turned it on for special events, and I believe they
were on the verge of announcing the official end to the primary mission and
were prepearing the spacecraft for this general HAM support digipeater
portion of the mission.
Does no good to demean them, since they have invested several years of their
lives in this endeavor with the intent of being a good HAM radio service to
APRS users.

First , as I was very tired last night from working at finishing up my
newly finished basement shack I neglected to mention I didn't have the
problem will all SatPC32 configurations, the program was behaving properly
with configuration 1. I avoided this issue for at least a year until now, as
I had to add another radio.
I did a search for all occurrences' of SatPos.SQF I found the offending
file, did an edit, but the edit wouldn't stick as I couldn't quit the
program properly(with a proper quit) as the SatPC32 window was still off
screen. What I figured out I had to do, was change the SatPC32 shortcut
start properties to start maximized. After the program came up, I then saved
it with a quit. Then changed startup properties back to a normal window.
Then restarted SatPC32 and positioned the window where I wanted it to
startup and then did another quit. I had to do this for configurations 2, 3,
and 4. I'm running XP , never configured a second monitor, I have no idea
how this happened. Thanks for all the help. All is once again good in KB2M
sat op land :-)

Hi Jeff,
if you have at least a part of the program window on the screen move it back
with the mouse to the position you want. Then close the program from the
menu "File", "Quit". That will save the last screen position. Closing the
program with the "x" control will not.
If the window is completely off the screen, change the two first entries in
the text file "SatPos.SQF" in the SatPC32 DATA folder, for example set both
values to 0. The window will then be positioned in the uppler left corner of
the screen.
The data folder is hidden by default. So, make all files and folders visible
(Explorer- Tools - Folder Options - View). The path of the folder depends on
the OS, under XP it is C:\Documents and Settings\Username \AppData\SatPC32,
under Vista and Windows 7 it is C:\User\Username\AppData\Roaming\SatPC32.
