Good Evening!
While attempting to use my FunCube Pro directly from FoxTelem I get an
error:
LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND.?? An internet search has found mentions of the
error but no solutions for my situation.? I am using Windows 10 for the
OS on my comupter.?? Any thoughts or suggestions ??
By the way, I use SDRConsole and feed the audio via VB_Audio Virtual
Cable with GREAT results.? I even have RSDConsole with WispDDE running
the antenna rotor controller.? I thought I would try the direct feed
FoxTelem- to-FunCube before I set up My Raspberry Pi for "Fox-in-a-Box"
One last question, while I'm here:? Is there any way FoxTelem without
SDRConsol, with a DDE program , could run the rotor controller?
Thank you for you help.

Lib USB!? I thought Howard told me at the symposium (circa 2008) that they
were using usb-hid ?!?!?
Howard...? Or was that on the hardware-side?

More budget friendly, especially the mini versions:

Got the Mini 70 and am very satisfied with it. Can also be ordered from

Contact Opportunity?
?
Call for Proposals?
?
Upcoming Proposal Window is February 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020
?
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS.? ARISS is happy to announce a proposal window
will open February 1, 2020 for contacts that would be held between January
1, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the
exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is
looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and
integrate the contact into a well-developed education plan.?
?
The proposal window for contacts between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021
will open on February 1, 2020 and close on March 31, 2020.? Proposal
information and documents can be found at www.ariss.org. Two ARISS
Introductory Webinar sessions will be held on November 7, 2019. The first is
at 6:00 PM ET and the second is at 9:00 PM ET. The same material will be
covered during both sessions, so choose the session that best fits your
schedule. The Eventbrite link to sign up
is?https://ariss-introductory-webinar-fall-2019.eventbrite.com?.
?
The Opportunity?
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.?
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight
and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations
must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of
the radio contact.?
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations' volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using
Amateur Radio.??

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

Joe,
I believe the FUNcube dongle uses *two* virtual USB interfaces over the
single physical USB port. The IQ stream looks like a standard sound card
and is one of the virtual USB interfaces.
The control functions like frequency, preamp gain, etc., use the standard
HID (Human Interface Device) interface, USB-HID.
Jim's problem is unusual, but I have the same problem with FoxTelem on my
Windows 10 machines. I haven't discovered a solution, yet.

<The screw-on elements are subject to coming lose with vibration, so
one would need a way to permanently tighten them (lock-tite on threads?).>
Replace the steel threaded rods with stainless steel threaded rod or studs.
Available from local hardware store or McMaster Carr. If you want to use
Loctite, only use "Removable Loctite 242" for very obvious reasons. You can
buy Loctite at McMaster Carr. By the way, the threaded rods are 8-32 thread
size. I like to use stainless steel wave washers at each connection to the
square tube, but that is because I don't use Loctite on it and the elements
do loosen up. Everything is available at McMaster Carr. The threaded rod is
available in one foot pieces that have to be cut or as studs.? Brad Smith

Stephen,
If someone shoots me a link to the foxtelem code, I'll gladly help debug
it. I have a Funcube dongle Pro here I can use.
