Is CDMA an authorized emission type for the Amateur service? What is the
chipping rate/bandwidth of these? Don't the PRN sequences need to be made
public so as not to be classified as "encryption" ? Detailed specs on the
Sprites is in short supply. Has anyone done a link budget, seems like allot
of spreading gain is required to hear 10mW form a 300km orbit which
translates into allot of bandwidth in a part of the band usually reserved
for narrow band modes. The lack of transparency on many of these projects
that use the amateur bands seems to run against the spirit of amateur radio
in my opinion.

Hi every one
Any updates on the Lithuanian CubeSat?
I thought I heard a few seconds of the CW beacon the other night but it went
into eclipse soon after the start of the pass.

Yes, that is true, so are these licensed under an authority other than
amateur radio ? If they aren't then my questions stand.

If I understand the situation correctly they didn't send the first command
to LitSat-1 until today at
15:30:26 EET.
I would image they will want to be confident in the operation of the
satellite before activating the transponder? - I'm looking forward to it
whenever it happens.

I am trying to use an application that expects a hardware TNC on
traditional serial port. At this point in time I don't have a
hardware TNC connected to my satellite station. I do have a
traditional multimode TNC I could utilize but I prefer not.
I am looking for a way, if possible, to configure a soft TNC
application to pretend it is a traditional serial TNC. Essentially,
the soft TNC would respond as a COMx,8N1 TNC just as if it were
hardware. Is there a way to do this?

I am not sure we are talking about the same bird Trevor.
Is LituanicaSat-1 the same as LitSat-1. I thought they were 2 different
satellites?
I was asking about the one built by the Kaunas University of Technology
"LituanicaSat-1". This bird is the one that has the FM transponder, FM CW
beacon and AX.25 FM Packet radio as well.
I see Mike DK3WN reporting briefly on the 2nd March reception of telemetry
http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?p=42452
There hasn't been much more in the press on the satellite.
Any way guessing others may report when things are happening.
Thanks

Yes Malcolm, getting my Sats mixed up.
On their Facebook page yesterday the LituanicaSAT-1 team commented "we'll
inform when experiments will be started with repeater."

Hi all,
And just to expand on information in view of the confusion and
identification for kep's. - Mike Rupprecht has been busy and believes the
satellite to
be NORAD ID 39568.
It operates 427.275 Mhz (FM) the "BEACON" LY5N.
Trust inforamtion will help with those awaiting news.

Here's my take on who's who based on observing AOS over the Pacific and an
email from Mike Rupprecht, DK3WN:
LituanicaSat-1 = 1998-067EL (catalog number 39567)
LitSat-1 = 1998-067EM (catalog number 39568)
