Group,
To encourage experimenting with Compass-1, here is a short
video showing how to request a CW beacon of Compass-1.
Actually it is a full High Definition (HD) video, taken
with a CANON HV-30 camera, edited, and uploaded to Vimeo.
Have a look and let me know how you experience this
(download time, picture quality, etc.)

We are happy to announce three DTMF commands to the whole community in order
to say THANK YOU.
Uplink frequency: 145.980 MHz FM, DTMF tones
These are as follows:
**35## - request a test beacon CW
**36## - request a test packet 1k2 AFSK FM (UI-Frame)
**60## - request a housekeeping frame in 1k2 AFSK FM (KISS frame)
Every command will be confirmed with a short "beep" on the CW frequency.
* frequency for CW beacon is 437.275 MHz
* frequency for packet radio is 437.405 MHz
See here for COMPASS decoding software http://www.dk3wn.info/software.shtml
We'd be happy if you send us your received data to
compass1cubesat@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask us.

Even tho you don't have a "proper" CI-V interface, you should still be able
to control multiple radios. The Icom unit simply has 3 1/8" phone jacks in
parallel, with each radio having a unique address on the serial buss. You
could probably just plug a dual headphone splitter into your clone and
connect up a 2nd radio just fine. My clone from FAR Circuits drives
multiple radios okay...

Hi all,
I am selling my Icom IC-910 satellite rig, with all the options listed.
Selling price $1800.00
The rig was in use for 6 months. Includes all of the needed options.
contact directly via the email address below.

IC-910H - All Mode VHF/UHF/1.2 GHz Satellite Radio
The new dimension in the VHF/UHF World! Click on the small image to get a
large picture of the IC-910H.
The IC-910H is an all new 2m/440 MHz/1.2 GHz** all mode satellite radio.
Measuring only 9 1/2(W) X 3 11/16(H) X 9 13/32(D) in. and weighting 10 lb
(without UX-910), it is compact and lightweight for field operation.
The IC-910H features a powerful 100 W of output on 2 meter band, and 75 W on
430/440 band provided by the newly designed power amplifier circuit, which
employs bipolar transistors in parallel. The combination of the aluminum die-
cast chassis and effective cooling fan ensures stable output for continuous
operation.
The IC-910H receiver sensitivity is an amazing 0.11 ?V (at 10 dB S/N on SSB,
CW), while the image and spurious responses are minimized for good signal
fidelity. Used with the optional preamplifiers for each band, indispensable
for receiving weak DX signals or satellite communications, you will experience
top class receiving characteristics in the VHF/UHF bands.
By adding the optional UX-910 1200 MHz band unit, the IC-910H becomes an all
mode tri-band transceiver. It is also capable of crossband and full duplex
operation.
The IC-910H has two data sockets for simultaneous two band packet
communications. High speed PLL lockup time makes 9600 bps high speed packet
communications possible.
In the satellite mode, the downlink and uplink frequencies are displayed
simultaneously on the main and sub bands respectively. Normal/reverse tracking
is available, and Doppler shift compensation is a breeze. Ten satellite memory
channels store uplink & downlink frequencies and operating mode.
Optional UT-106 DSP unit provides AF DSP (digital signal processing)
functions: noise reduction and automatic notch filter. When two UT-106 units
are installed in the IC-910H, the DSP functions work for the main and sub
bands simultaneously.Tell me about the new, optional PS-125 power supply to go
with my new IC-910H.
Download the IC-910H PDF brochure.

100 W of stable output power on VHF (75 W on UHF)

Hi:
I will be attending the Great South Bay Amateur Radio Club's Hamfest
tomorrow, May 9th, 2009. The Hamfest will be held at Fireman's Memorial
Park, Lindenhurst, LI, if anyone is near the area; I'll have an AMSAT table
at the Hamfest.
More information about the Hamfest is available at:

Dear all,
Tomorrow (Saturday May 9th) is IARC (Israel Amateru Raedio Club) annual
field day.
I am going to try operating and demoing mobile/portable operation on FO-29,
VO-52, AO-27 between 08:00 to 11:00 UTC. (It seems that we don't have
AO-51 and AO-7 passes in these hours)
If you are around in range, I will appreciate if you try to make QSO with me
(this is the first time i am operating this way, so report is not
guaranteed... hi)
Equipment:
FT817 and arrow antenna for downlink.
FT857 and vertical mobile antenna for uplink (of a fellow
non-satellites HAM).
thanks & 73
Shamai
