I took the top part of the case off and disconnected the internal spkr.
Can someone give me an idea of where it was connected,
I just can't see where it was plugged in.

Scott,
If your blackberry is also a cellular phone, you may try navigating by
Internet to lu7aa.org.ar
When connecting to lu7aa.org.ar thru any cellphone you have passes for
popular sats in your local time for some locations in Canada or others
worldwide places.
It is handy when you are out and try to know which birds can be used.
This facility is in test, any suggestions welcome.
73, Pedro Converso

Does anyone have a motor or know where to get the motor
in the KR-500. Does Yaesu still have them? I picked one up that has some water
in it and the motor is bad.
tnx,

I see. I can't run duplex in D-STAR anyway, would need a second
radio, or an FM box with Jakub's D-STAR Decoder software and a DV
Dongle running on a PC. That could solve the 5 kHz step problem,
because I could tap the discriminator of an all mode radio, and tune
in 1 kHz or smaller steps. I would need to use a 70cm downconverter,
as I have no all mode gear on 70cm, but I happen to have one of those
handy. Hmm, might be a worthwhile project for those of us D-STAR
users with spare gear and a dongle, and are able to do the necessary mods.

Cooperation between a few local hams would yield results, as would
the method above.

Most FM rigs have 5 kHz as the smallest step available. The problem
with 2.4 GHz is the insane rate of Doppler shift, unless you have
computer control of something in the chain, it's going to be
extremely difficult to maintain a lock on D-STAR, especially if
you're stuck with 5 kHz steps. I don't have computer control here,
so that's not an option for me.

I can't see 1.2 GHz working. As far as I know, it's an uplink only
band, and DD mode works in simplex mode, so it wouldn't be legal in
the Amateur Satellite service, without modification to work split
band (say 1.2/2.4 GHz). Haven't done the path loss calculations, to
see if it's viable with 10W and a decent gain antenna.

I have a very nice 4 ft off center feed dish that needs a good home. Make an
offer.
I go it from a gas station that was being removed and it was way too nice to
see it get crushed.
It is fiberglass, has a built in heater and a angle iron stand.
I can send photos if interested contact me off the board please. E-mail is
good in QTH.
Thanks

Hello all,
I was asked to forward this along to the -bb. Please listen for these guys
as they practice for a fall DXpedition. I think FM-24 might be a rare one on
satellite as well.
73, Drew KO4MA
CY0 Simulation Test - WA4DAN, AA4VK, and N0TG will operate from "Core Banks"
(IOTA NA-67, FM-24), on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, on an island that
is similar in environment (terrain, sand, sea, remoteness, etc.) to Sable
Island, during the period 2300Z on April 29 through 1500Z on May 2. The
team will reach the island by boat in late afternoon, with approximately the
same amount of day-light remaining as Day-1 at Sable island. This exercise
will help to determine the CY0 Day-1 strategy for which antennas to erect
before night fall.
The CY0 Team is considering including FM Satellite operations at Sable
Island and will make a substantial effort during the "CY0 simulation test"
to demonstrate the feasibility of including this mode in the DXpedition.
Times and satellites to be used for FM Satellite Operations during the
simulation test is listed at the Team website at
http://www.cy0dxpedition.com .

I knew what the answer was, just by seeing the code characters and I didn't
have to mouse-over the area, and that's why I stated "I never thought about
his birthday". Wanted to see if anybody would pay attention.

AO-51 spends a significant amount of time with a mode-S downlink. Very
loud. Nothing through May 3rd, but check the schedule periodically for

We will be demonstrating the SuitSat-2 system at Dayton and we will have a
complete SuitSat system for demonstration at AMSAT events
I need a 2m CW/SSB receiver to demonstrate the CW and SSB digital data
signals. If you have one that has an operational receive system and would like
to donate it to AMSAT, Please send me an email at wa4sxm at amsat.org . I
would prefer a smaller unit, but would welcome one smaller than 10 lbs.
