I am no expert by any means but the 910 is a great VHF/UHF and satellite radio
that will do everything that you need - I believe the Kenwood TS-2000 is
another strong contender. In terms of aesthetics though, avoid Yaesu - they
might do the job but they all seem to look like they were made by pre-cold war
Eastern European's! Still, if you like the Commie look.......

Hi Domenico,
>From what I understood will my MODE-UV transponder not fly on P3e.
There is a Software Defined Transponder that will fly instead.
I don't know all the details as I never got the information directly, but more
"discover" this every time while reading AMSAT-DL Journal.
I have requested AMSAT-DL to send me the MODE-UV transponder hardware back, so
I might use it in another satellite project... however I never seen my
hardware back :(
Besides that, I discovered that there were more groups working on a MODE-UV
for P3e at that time (without knowing). After all, in my opinion it was a huge
waste of my money and waste of my free time that I spend for P3e. I could have
made several new transponders in the same time and have them maybe fly already
on other satellite projects. So, thats why I now have developed this new
smaller transponder for picosats as a privat project...
About my transponder on HAMSAT, it was agreed that ISRO switch transponder
each one or two month. I know that it is not switched on that often, and I
have send emails and letters to ISRO about their skedule several times.
Unfortunately the people are very busy by email, and by letter I do not get
any response. As the hams are happy with HAMSAT I don't make a real problem
of it that my transponder is not switched on that often. One day the Indian
transponder will fail, and then my transponder will rescue HAMSAT again
hihi...
Have a nice day,
William PE1RAH

*** CV1LAI - Globosat 01 ***
Globosat 01 is the first uruguayan telemetry test from high altitude balloon
of the LAI Project.
CX0CFI (Club Facultad de Ingenieria) invites to the amateur radio community
to participate and report telemetry data.
* Date
To be defined. Probably on Thursday 24 of April of 2008 (15:00 UTC aprox.)
* Trajectory and flight plan
The globosat will come out from the department of Durazno (central Uruguay),
what would allow the recovery of the team inside national territory.
The balloon should ascend to a speed of between 200 and 300 meters per
minute, and to arrive until a maximum height of approximately 30.000m (like
reference, the commercial flights go at 10.000m). Arrival that height, the
difference of pressure among the interior and external of the balloon makes
it explode.
The equipment will fall with parachute.
* Telemetry
The platform send telemetry information in standard APRS format in 2m. band.
The APRS message goes encapsulated in a AX.25 (Packet) frames and modulated
in AFSK (1200 bps) FM.
* Data:
Callsign: CV1LAI (special callsign for the Globosat during these days)
Mode: APRS (over AX.25 1200bps)
Frequency: 145.030 MHz
Power: 1W.
Antenna: dipole 1/2 wavelenght in vertical position.
* Web site of the LAI Project:

I also appreciate an update on TLM of the various satellites, since I listen
for...and study...and report on the health and "fitness" of several of
them. Alex...I will always RESPECT your opinion, but please....don't heckle
or belittle the interests or pursuits of others.
Think of it this way....it was the collection of your so-called SPAM TLM
that led to AO-16's new life.
Thank you, Mike...for doing what some of us haven't had time to do
ourselves!

Hey, that's me an over-the-hill ex cold-war commie with my much loved
FT-847! Actually, since I live in Russian America (what Alaska was
before 1867), I guess the moniker fits ;-)
Since the FT-847 is out of production, I suspect that when P3E
launches or near to then, Yaesu will launch a replacement to the
FT-847. Maybe they can buy up some old Collins cabinets and make
them really "retro"!
Of course the really smart move would be an SDR-based satellite rig!
Small black box with coax connectors and USB or Firewire I/F...and
sell it for $349.95 (dream on).

orbited earth one time at an altitude of 187 3/4 miles (302 kilometers) for
108 minutes at 18,000 miles an hour. He was the first man to see that the
earth was indeed round, indeed mostly water, and indeed magnificent.

I concur with Chris. I cannot thank Mike DK3WN enough for all of the help he
has provided my ability to capture and decode telemetry. In fact, without his
help, I wouldn't be able to do much with AO-16 and its telemetry...
His occasional posting of telemetry is a good reminder that these birds are
alive and working well. He doesn't post every telemetry frame, every day.
His posts are periodic and helpful.
So...THANKS Mike :)
