Hi all,
In spite of my usual ineptness with this program, I have managed to have it
talking to my FT-847, downloaded the keps for AO73 and appear to be tracking
it!!
However, I can't seem to get the radio to hold the up/dn frequencies in the
proper VFO's. I start out with the uplink showing in VFOA, but after a min
or so the frequencies swap and I have to use the a><b button to get them
back.
Am I missing a setting?
Any help appreciated
And Happy Thanksgiving to all
73, Ted

Using the keps from this morning (epoch 13333.066), I measured the frequency
of the telemetry signal of AO-73 during a 43 deg pass at about 1648 UTC (Nov
29). This is a pass with the satellite in the sun
The frequencies are the frequency ?at the satellite? calculated by SatPC32
to place the center of the telemetry in the middle of my 3.0 kHz USB
passband. Thus the frequency of the center ?at the satellite? are 1.50 kHz
higher than these.
Elevation xx where the frequency is 145935.xx MHz

Thus a change of about 600 Hz over the entire pass with the frequency
DECREASING.

Using the keps from this evening (epoch 13333.744), I measured the frequency
of the telemetry signal of AO-73 during a 21 deg pass at about 0340 UTC (Nov
30). This is a pass with the satellite in shadow, running on batteries.
The frequencies are the frequency ?at the satellite? calculated by SatPC32
to place the center of the telemetry in the middle of my 3.0 kHz USB
passband. Thus the frequency of the center ?at the satellite? are 1.50 kHz
higher than these.

Thus a change of about 800 Hz over the entire pass with the frequency
INCREASING. However, where noted with ****, there were were sudden shifts in
frequency up and down of 1.0 to 1.5 kHz.
During this pass, the linear transponder was on, and I assume the sudden
shifts of frequency noted by **** could have been caused by changes in total
power used by the transponder.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------
The first pass above was during battery charging and the frequency
decreased. The second pass was during battery discharging and the frequency
was increasing.
The sudden shifts of frequency are very obvious when you are in QSO on the
transponder.
It would be interesting for someone to correlate the frequency shifts with
some parameter such as voltage or temperature.

Alan,
thanks for answering Nicks mail.
I have just sent him an answer offf the list. But I can also only suggest to
run DataBackup or to uninstall/reinstall the program.

Recently W3AFH became a SK. In his Estate he gave our Club a R390 and a
75A1. They were both reworked a few years ago by Harold Mills.
They look great and seem to operate just fine.
I also have a B&W 5100, looks great and operates well. It has has 2
problems. The meter switch needs cleaning and readjustment and the 6J6 osc
needs to be wiggled if the rig is off for a period of time.
I have the manual and spare sub chasis as extra parts and most of the tubes
Will deliver within 100 miles of Chesapeake, VA. Will have them at Frost
Fest, February 1, in Richmond, VA. Will have other stuff their to. The B &
W is mine the rest of the gear is fund raiser for K4AMG MARC, K4AMG.org
I would prefer a pick up at my QTH so you can play with the radios.
Happy Holidays
God Bless

Folks
It seems some people are unable to find the handbook (in English, French and
Italian). Look here:
<http://funcube.org.uk/working-documents/funcube-handbook/>
I am awaiting the translations into Dutch and Spanish, maybe the translators
were waiting for me to get back from holiday (got back yesterday)
