All was well until suddenly SatPC32 started to not respond and lock up. I'm
using Win 10 with the most current version of SatPC32 and the Icom 9700. I
left the station for about a week but have made no changes since all last
worked. Any suggestions? Uninstall SatPC32 and reinstall it?

Hello Greg,
Using the calculator over at pasternack.com for 70cm:
2000 mile Free Space Path Loss: 155.4 dB
400 mile Free Space Path Loss: 141.4 dB
I suspect he's referring to audio loudness, since the FM threshold
effect would be in play once the CNR was > 8dB (assuming narrowband FM).

Thanks for checking, Hasan. As Mark said, COR is a fallback mode designed
into the Fox satellites for when the IHU is not operating for whatever
reason. There have been times when the IHU decided to reset, and a QSO
continued on across the reset unhindered (I've heard the audio
recording--it was pretty cool!)

Audibly much louder at or near the horizon. I have never checked the S-meter
while transmitting, but relied on what I hear in my earphones. Actually, on
the D72, the S-meter only operates on receive and displays the power level
on transmit, so it won't tell me what I need to know.
Not super populated and I roam a lot and notice the same thing happening no

Hi Brad,
?
There is one more thing that may be causing this as an indirect effect.? It
is related to the way we have to twist the beams to match the phase of the
signals.
At very low angles the phase is mostly vertical doesn't seem to change and
the signal is consistent. Whereas on higher ones the beams have to be turned
VERY OFTEN to keep up with the rapid phase changes.
There have been discussions on this BB and in articles about why this
happens but as a net effect the downlink sounds pretty bad on very high
passes.? It sounds great for a second and becomes pure noise the next
second.? I hope this is what you are referring to.?
?
In contrast, when using a RHCP antenna, the signal is strongest at higher
elevations, as it should logically be.? Unfortunately RHCP antennas are
surely not meant for hand held operation.
?
( as a side note, I'd like to add that I'm thrilled to get 6 of 9 bars from
a tiny satellite that is 2000 miles away, Wow !)

PSAT2 is in DTMF-grid-to-voice mode and will remain that way until we find
out how viable this mode is (any radio can uplink, not just APRS radios).
So far the DTMF downlink beacon only shows a few stations i n Brazil have
tried this mode:
PSAT2-1>APOFF::BLNd-DTMF:f|PY5LF0,PU5NOC,PY5LAF,P,,,,,
Uplink is on 145.980. See how on the PSAT2 page: http://aprs.org/sats.html
Just load your 16digit DTMF string into DTMF memory and transmit (with
radio in narrowband FM and only in the center of the pass with zero
doppler).
Downlink is Voice and APRS packet on 145.825

Ron,
There are only 6 SO-50 capable HT options that I am aware: (May be more, but
these are commonly available)
1)? Kenwood TH-D72 (still in production, so new or used markets)2)? Kenwood
TH-D7 (out of production)3) Yaesu FT-530 (out of production)4)? Icom IC-Z1A
(out of production)5)? Icom IC-W2A (out of production)6)? Icom IC-W32
(earlier model with 5-digit SN) (out of production)
I have personally used the TH-D72, FT-530, and IC-Z1A on SO-50.
Would recommend TH-D72, if you can budget allows.? Otherwise Yaesu FT-530.?
I picked up a FT-530 at a hamfest last year for $25 and had to spend another
$30 for a new battery.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Hi All,
For various reasons, we use PSTRotator to control our rotator/elevator stack
- mostly due to the need for IP control of the ERC-M, which SatPC32 doesn't
seem to natively handle.
It all works fine, for the most part, with the exception of the fact that I
don't seem to be able to change my endstop value - normally this would be in
the "Rotor" configuration settings, but since I'm leaving SatPC32 set to
'None' and having PSTRotator in 'Tracking' mode (it follows SatPC32's
headings anyway), I can't see the option (it's not in the list) in order to
pick South for my endstop instead of North.
I can choose between 90 and 180 degree elevation (we use 180 as we only have
360 degrees of azimuth), but does anyone know how I can make SatPC32
understand the endstop being at the North instead of the South?
Many thanks in advance,
John (M5ET)

Hi Dave,
The ERC unit runs via an IP serial server, so that we can access it from
multiple parts of the site. We have a similar remote control mechanism for
the rig, but that side all works fine.
Still waiting for the next pass that goes through North, to see if SatPC32
now remembers the endstop as North!

Hi Dave,
Thanks for the insights ? yes, PST is set correctly with North as the endstop.
When I select Yaesu GS232, it goes through the whole ?you need to set up
serversdx? palaver, which since I?m unable to use SDX (it doesn?t talk IP),
seems a little counter intuitive. That said, it did make the option to set
an endstop temporarily available, so hopefully by changing it, storing the
configs and then choosing ?None? again, it might remember the North endstop.
My next pass in a few minutes will hopefully confirm.
PST has no issue tracking the headings that SatPC32 displays even with the
rotor set to none, so hopefully the temporary enable then disable will work.
I?ll report back shortly.

John,
In Rotor setup in SatPC32 you select Yaesu_GS-232 in the drop-down for the
ERC-M controller, FYI.
In the PSTRotator Satellite Tracking window if you click on Setup>Rotor Stop
you can select North or South.

Very helpful,
its challenging to buy used gear here, not everyone will ship
outside of the CONUS never mind to Canada. I'm interested in buying
more than one working FT-530, if we get more new operators (who do not
have HF privileges) in the north it seems like a good idea to try to
standardize the radio.
Thanks for the advice, I should put my new V71 to use on get on more
from DP22 myself.
