On Jan-30 14:00z AMSAT Argentina will deploy a WSPR/APRS drifting Buoy on
South Atlantic Seas.
Release will be 100 Km. offshore Mar del Plata coast, seeking west aiming
currents/winds.
Callsign: LU7AA. Details & photos: http://amsat.org.ar?f=buoy
Objective: Sea currents tracking & HF/VHF/SAT QRPp propagation tests.
Will appreciate WSPR stations receiving/reporting 20m.

Short answer: No. You should use Gpredict instead.
Long answer: Maybe, using Pi386 and Wine, but getting that configured
would not be easy.

A couple of people sent out the git repo URL. If you have time to look at
this, that would be great. It's not an area where I am a deep expert. The
FCD has two USB interfaces, as noted. The Soundcard interface uses
standard Audio IO APIs and works fine. USB access is transparent and you
don't need to worry about it. But the HID interface has been difficult.
It was a great idea to not need any libraries, but the flip side issue is
that every platform has its own libraries. Writing a single application
that works on the PI (ARM), Linux (x86), Mac, Windows has been difficult in
this area. The HID approach is great for the end user, difficult for the
developer.
I've used three different libraries so far. I started with direct Java
wrapping of the C libraries. It worked to a degree in Windows, but I
struggled on other platforms. I moved to the PureJavaHID library and that
worked across platforms. But it holds the connection so only one program
could connect to the device. It did not play well with the Funcube
Dashboard for example. And it had issues where commands would not be
sent. I'm now using usb4Java which wraps LibUSB. I understand you can
talk HID through LibUSB, which is just a lower level library. But I could
be wrong. I leveraged code that Denis Sheirer wrote for SDRTRunk. But
that also has strange difficult to track down issues, as we can see.
So I am open to a better way to do this that works on all the platforms
people are using. Any help is really appreciated.

You should not get a spacecraft error. What does the error look like? If
you have an old spacecraft file that has _em in the name, then it is the
old engineering model. You should delete that.
The main change is that you need to be listening on 70cms and the decoder
needs to be set to one of the PSK decoders. You can make it automatically
listen to HuskySat if you check the box "Switch bands and modes". Note
this is the first time we will have tested that, so report any issues you
see. If you are listening to the Fox sats as well, then it would assume
you have a dual band antenna setup, which is not normal for many. I
personally have setup another machine with a separate SDR listening to
70cms. Note that this may work better through a real radio than the Fox
satellites because it does not have the filtering issues for low frequency
audio. So that is an option.
I understand that the KEPS are available and we are trying to see if they
will be published. HuskySat have a facebook page and it may appear there
first.

Can someone explain why V/u was chosen for the linear Fox (they are all Fox
right?) Over U/v that all the FM Foxes are?
2m SSB TX capability is easier to get than 70cm SSB TX capability maybe?

Chris,
What version of the fun cube pro do you have, and does it make a difference
which one is used? I have an older v1.1 that I'm going to connect in a few
(Serial 3354). Pulling the code down now...

I have been using the RASCAL R-KW13PD made by BUX COMM CO for years to
control my Kenwood TS-2000X via satPC32 software to work the birds.I
have been using an HP Windows 7 laptop.
Today, I just finally updated that laptop to Windows 10. Everything
seems to works great since the upgrade. However, when I try using my

have been using an HP Windows 7 laptop.
Today, I just finally updated that laptop to Windows 10. Everything
seems to works great since the upgrade. However, when I try using my
normal interface which was always connected to COM 3, The satPC32
software tells me it can't find the radio on COM3. When I check the
device manager is claims the device is working. Any ideas? Thank you.

There's a predict4java source folder and a predict4java.jar?
Which is the correct one to use? :-)
