Bob,
My point is that filter is not easily found in a 455 KHz center frequency.
ECS, Inc.  makes 30 KHz wide filters in 10.7 , 21.4 and 45 MHz center
frequencies in 2 and 4 pole. They are available from Digi-Key. 455 KHz is
reserved for narrow band applications. A post data filter will reduce the
wide band noise by limiting the data rate to the incoming data rate. This
works well as long as there are no other signals within the IF pass band of
the receiver.
For digital signals Hi and Low comparators would give you a fast response
for AFC and would not require excessive preamble.

Art,
KC6UQH

Won't work for packets, or at least would require a long TXD making packet
communicatiosn inefficient.

As to rarity, only one filter in the whole world is needed and that is on
the uplink receiver.  This lets eveyrone on the ground use conventional rigs
without mods, and with minimal doppler uplink tracking.

Too many simple satellites are being built without considering the need for
a wider bandwidth receiver on the uplink.  The difficulties of such an
approach for users is very obvious on the ISS cross band repeater, which is
using a stock amateur transceiver with a 12 KHz wide receiver on the uplink,
which makes even 5 KHz step tuning on the uplink be out-of-bandwidth
splatter half the time.

This is not a complaint at all.  The ISS team is to be congratulated for
making the most of what they were able to get up there.  It just takes more
skill by users on the ground...

It is good to see this new UK project planning on a wider uplink RX filter.

Bob, Wb4APR

Hello Alan,

Thanks for the tip. I actually have a hookup for the 857 for digital modes
and just managed to test that out on AO-51. I confirm that the phenomenon
does not occur when listening to audio through the DATA jack.

So I have to listen through my computer. A little inconvenient buy way
better than buying new gear  :).

Thanks again.

Hi all,

A few days ago I posted the problem I was having with my new 817 and
satpc32. After emailing with the very kind Erich (creator of the software),
we were able to find the source of the problem in the CAT delay setting
(standard value was 110, but mine needed to be higher for some reason).
Below is my email to him with observations for any who might be experiencing
similar difficulties.



The strangest thing..... I came home and changed the CAT delay from 110 to
200. It worked! Both the mode and frequencies were changed for vfoa and vfob
and everything was good. Out of curiosity (and thinking it might help with
any troubleshooting you may need to do), I changed the CAT delay to 150. My
observations were that both the mode and freq. would change for vfoa and
vfob, but the interval settings did not work. What I mean by this is the
radio would switch between both vfo's on a very rapid basis, basically
whenever there was the slightest Doppler change, it would retune. Obviously,
this would make the receive audio extremely choppy.



To sum it up:

110-change downlink freq. and mode, change uplink mode only, rapid toggling

150- change downlink freq. and mode, change uplink freq. and mode, rapid
toggling

200- perfect

Don,

Good to work you.  Apparently there was a relatively narrow window where we
could both access the uplink.  I got your call, then heard what sounded like
your being off frequency, and by the time you were back I could not access
the bird to reply.

On the next pass I worked KA9ERV with excellent signals.  The later 15:03
UTC pass was relatively low elevation, NW to SE of my QTH.  I noticed what
was probably ISS "obstacle fading" but when I had a clear shot, I was able
to get in with FAR less power than in the pass yesterday with a roughly
similar ground track, even at 1200 miles slant range.

73s es Happy New Year

You might find an old Motorola TU-540W filter around a two-way radio shop.
Those were used in equipment when the deviation was +/- 15 kHz and when the
deviation was dropped to +/- 5 kHz the filters were replaced with the TU-540S.
They are for a 455 kHz i.f.

Ron - N6PAA,

Thank you for the nice QSO via the ARISS L/V cross band repeater. I could
hear you announcing your station for over 2 minutes prior to our QSO and our
QSO lasted just about 2 minutes. I couldn't get in until ISS was above 15
degrees as I only have 10 watts on L Band. Very nice to be able to work the
new one. I hope we can have this opportunity again in the future.

Happy New Year,

Hello all and Happy New Year,
I hate to sound like such a Newbie, but I know how hard it was figuring
out some of the nuances of FM and SSB voice birds with no experience in
Sats. Asking for help would have cut down my learning cure immensely.
The learning curve can be tough when doing something new with the
assistance of old data. So rather than going through that again, I am
going to ask for help. I have just rewired my old Kantronics all mode
TNC to my FT-847 and have been watching some local APRS data packets. I
think I am ready to see what is available on Sats. What are the Sats
that I can hear and TX to in the 2m/440 freqs that, are easy to hit with
minimum antenna equipment?

I would go to this site: http://oscar.dcarr.org/index.php

Click on the satellite names, such as AO-51, etc.  That links to the
'home' page of each satellite, and gives you a lot of information.

As far as what sats are easy to hit with minimum antenna equipment -
it depends on what you mean by minimum.  You have a great radio to
start with; however don't expect to get good results if you are using
only a vertical.  Check the recent posts on this reflector about Arrow
and Elk antennas.  While those are typically handheld, you can mount
them permanently.

Feel free to email me directly if you'd like more information, I'll be
listening for you on the birds.

A lot of those links take you to the old AMSAT webpages, some of which are
pretty out of date.

http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/status.php has more current
information, and may not be 100% up to date, but is better than the other
links. If you see something in obvious error, send me a note to

Thanks all for the responses to this.?? I was able to find a cheap unit in a
local electronics store that they agreeded to allow me to return if it did not
work.

While at first it appeared that it had the FTDI chip set (some of the driver
software referrs to that chip set..)??it seems that it is a "Simple
Perfection" PL 2303 unit that uses a different chip set.

So far it works with all my equipment (inlcuding my FT 736 and SAT32PC)? If it
does not work out in the future I will obtain one of the ones you have
mentioned.

Best regards and 73

Mark,

Keyspans are good.? I have only one, really old, obscure piece of software
which won't work with them.

I got a rig programmer from RT Systems, and picked up one of the RTS-03 as
they guaranteed it would work.? It did, and with everything else I tried it.
Somewhat brand X, but it uses the FTDI chip set.?

http://www.rtsystemsinc.com/othercables_template.cfm?cfid=3106444&cftoken=39
931273

Something to consider is an adapter by Parallax.? Go to WWW.PARALLAX.COM and
put in the part number 28030. It uses the FTDI chip set, and is designed to
be used as a programming controller rather than just a communications
interface, so it brings out a few more lines than does the typical USB to
serial converter.? Some rigs may need those.? With the USB A to mini USB B
cable it is about $20.? I have never found a rig or similar control function
it will not support, even when making house calls.? The only drawback it
that it doesn't really have a case.? With a little Exacto knife work you can
modify a cheap plastic RS shell to fit.
