Hi All,
LilacSat-2 is expected to be launched in May or June 2015.
We haven?t decided how to use the repeater yet. An idea is to use a subaudio
PSK31 telemetry with it.
About XW-2, LilacSat-2 will be launched with several satellites designed by
CAST and CAMSAT with amateur radio, but we don't know the exact name indeed.
We will update our website later.
73!

On the last pass of SO-50 (15:27 UTC, 20-Jun) over North America, I worked
XE1SEW operating portable in DL90.
Last night he was calling CQ on FO-29 from EL00. I do not believe he made
any successful contacts due in part to many stations calling CQ within 3
kHz of him. There may have been other factors. Having operated many times
portable, I can assure you that neighboring stations on adjacent
frequencies can pose challenges. I am not laying blame but rather making
an observation.
Please, consider moving away from FO-29's passband center if you intend to
operate portable. As a general rule on FO-29 I try to transmit portable
below 145.93 and above 145.97. As a portable station this provides some
shielding from the "death zone" of higher power, fixed stations who always
seem to appear and call CQ +/- 10 kHz of the transponder's center
frequency. (some suffering from terminal CHS syndrome)

Hi Folks,
FUNcube/AO-73 is now in continuous transponder mode with low power
beacon, as at approx 20:24 UTC. Change back to Auto eclipse mode
planned for Sunday PM UTC.
Enjoy the transponder

I'm new to using Ubuntu-Linux. I finally with a lot of outside counciling
got FlDigi to run using either Hamlib or Flrig to handle CAT on my FT-847.
I thought I was home free until I found that Gpredict would not control CAT
on the radio. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help? Linux is my only
resource on this old XP P3 computer. Ubuntu runs great if I can only learn
how to use command line Linus language hi hi!

Hi Guys,
DTUsat-2 is now operational on orbit and transmitting both CW beacons and
AX25 frames at 1200bps 2FSK. Beacons are alternating at 30sec intervals.
Any help you could offer in tracking and recording beacons would be much
appreciated at this early stage in the mission. Please find attached a
short technical note on how to decode CW beacons. More information is also
available on our project webpage at :
http://www.dtusat.dtu.dk/index.php?id=130
Next pass here at DTU is coming up in 20minutes, whish us luck!
73's all around!

Are you talking about the TAPR/JAMSAT TrakBox?
I bought a nice one a couple years ago for about $200 USD shipped from
Canada. I found a turbo kit available from someone here on AMSAT to
speed up the CPU and installed it. The turbo kit if still available is a
bargain, new CPU, Y2K firmware, a faster crystal and another faster
chip. Apart from soldering the crystal, there is not much to do but
follow instructions.
I also plan to install a back-lighted LCD display to be easy on my eyes.
They work pretty well. The only drawback is the RS232 interface for the
KEPS. I am going to try and add an Ethernet to RS232 adapter so I can
use a browser to upload the KEPS.
What I like is that it has real time tracking, _doppler __correction
_and autonomous operation in one package. I don't think there is
anything on the market that has everything these have.
Assuming the lithium battery has not leaked and the kit is well
constructed, you should be able to recoup your investment. They are no
longer available.

Message-ID: <53A56D51.3050907@xxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
I'm preparing for Field day and would like to use a combination of HDSDR
(RX) and a Kenwood TS-2K (TX) radio. The RTL-SDR dongle and preamp make
a great RX. Ham Radio Deluxe only connects to a single radio. (Transceiver)
Is there a way to control both radios at once to correct for Doppler?
The problem would be similar to controlling two FT-817s, except both
radios would be different in my case.
Thanks and 73's
