Hello Jeff and BB,
AO-51 is running less power than last week.
1) The SQRX receiver is on for L band uplink for the BB
2) We are starting to enter a new eclipse cycle this week.
TX B (analog) as of this morning is 700 mW (was 820 mW)
TX A (digital) as of this morning is 550 mW (was 550 mW analog last week)
We will reduce power slowly until mid June (eclipse length maximum), then
slowly increase it until early Sept when we will again enter a no eclipse
period for a number of months.
It is easy to get spoiled with the higher output levels, the last three
months.
73,
Gould, WA4SXM

Hi Alex,
I don't have any plans to automate it. Depending upon the mode(s) in use on
AO-51, I manually adjust the TX power to get through eclipse. As long as
the BB is operational these settings are available in the downlinked
telemetry.
If you don't have a 9600 bps modem, Douglas Quagliana, KA2UPW has an
operational, beta telemetry decoder/display that uses your sound card. This
is available on the AMSAT Digital Disk.

I am trying to find some solution that will have my computer auto-adjust
my IC-910H. I have verified that the computer interface is working on
my IC-910H as I can read data from the radio using Win-EQF.
Someone suggested I get SatPC. I downloaded it but cant seem to get it
to talk to my IC-910H. I can work all the FM birds and AO-16, just
having problems getting onto the SSB birds (i.e. VO-52).
Thanks,

KC8HZ found an Ohio distributor for Nanaboshi connectors (Japanese mfg.) in
2007 and
was able to order in small quantities. He ended up ordering 2 male and 2
female -- so he could take the rotor out of the tower and have a ground test
cable.
The connectors cost him about $12 USD each in 2007.

Ron,
I have to throw in my 2 cents.
I'm not sure why you would be getting any desense. I have virtually the
same setup.
I have not had any indications of desense with my installation.
I'm using an IC-910H, separate feedlines, mast mounted preamps, and yagi
antennas.
Feedlines are 9913F7 ultraflex and are about 60' long plus connections from
the preamps to the antennas.
I have a 2 meter CP KLM (oldie), a 1.2 GHz looper, and a 435 KLM.
Separation between the 2 meter and the 70 cm antennas is about 8 feet.
I do use an elevation rotor and so the antennas can be aimed quite
precisely.
Normal power output is usually about 5 watts unless the satellites have a
very low pass.
Using more than 25 watts would be pretty unusual with most satellites.
I live in Phoenix, AZ, and am surround by mountains, some within walking
distance,
so in most directions I have an elevated, rugged horizon.
The first question that I would ask is how much power are you running on the
uplink?
And then, how far apart are the antennas?
I use the CI-V interface with SATPC32 to control the doppler. It works
great.
You just have to make sure the address in the radio matches what you have
set in the software configuration files.
For SSB I have the frequency updated whenever it gets off by 20 or more Hz.
For FM I'm using 300 Hz.
Maybe overkill on SSB, but it's better than having the tone jumping up and
down all the time.
As George said, do the CAT interface first, expecially if you plan to be
doing SSB or CW.
Once you have that set up, you can tweek your downlink on the CAT display
when you first transmit.
After that, your uplink and downlink should pretty well track with each
other.
The fun comes when you have to follow someone who has no doppler control.
I don't think you are going to find any easy way to interface the Channel
Master rotor to a computer interface.
Generally the interfaces expect a voltage between 0 and 5 volts representing
the azimuth of the antenna.
A higher indicator voltage can be scaled down to the 0 to 5 range if you can
find something suitable.
Most ham rotors have separate wiring for the indicator potentiometer in the
rotor and that can be easily scaled
and used with computer interfaces.
Hope this helps. I can set a picture of my antenna installation if that
would help.

I am using seperate antennas and feedlines. For the time being, I am
using a Channel Master antenna to turn the antennas. I have a pvc pipe
rig setup with the antennas at an angle of 25 degrees due to the clutter
in the neighborhood I have to clear to see the sats. I hope to have a
tower in the future but with being laid off from my job, cant really
have any expenditures right now.
I have the cat interface for the IC910H but havent looked into how to
set it up yet.

I've tried unsuccessfully to work the last 4 high elevation passes of SO-50
including a 70 degree pass this morning. I've heard a couple of snatches of
activity, but not enough to even get a call sign. This is in contrast to
the pass I worked Saturday at 58 degrees that had a bunch of activity on it.
I was thinking it was my equipment, 2m mobile into a dual-band GP and a 6
element yagi and HT for downlink.

My 910, CI-V, SatPC32 combo works great with all the sats including
VO-52. You have to make sure you all your settings are correct. Verify the
Doppler.SQF file has the VO-52 sat freqs listed correctly.

Bruce:
Think I found part of the problem. I glossed over the CIV addressing.
I am used to applications that "know" the default CIV addressing, so I
hadnt looked at it. Although I hadnt changed mine, I looked at the
settings in my 910H and changed the settings in SatPC32. I can now see
there some indication of RIG control. Have to figure out now how to get
things to work.
I dont use the satellite function in the radio, I put the vhf frequency
in one memory and uhf in the other. I shift the receive channel into
the slave part of the radio (lower display) and put the transmit in the
higher display.
I will continue to look at the docs for SatPC but would appreciate any
pointers you can give on how you use SatPC32 with the SSB birds (i.e.
setting up the radio, etc).
Thanks,
Ron
