I downloaded ARISSatTLM and in the Quick Start guide I notice that it says Windows Vista not working on this platform at this time
Not being deterred I loaded and ran it anyway and it did choke when trying to start the sound card, with a Windows "stopped working" type of dialog. I found that if I quickly click CANCEL on that dialog, things seem to work fine. The tuning shows indications of signal that were verified by playing with the input level and tuning a CW signal (on HF) which ARISSatTLM decoded. I run two sound cards, one being the built in which I use for the typical Windows stuff and sounds and games and then an M-Audio Delta 44 which is for the radio input/output for sound card modes. I don't know if that has anything to do with the way this works. So I thought I would share that with you, if you are running Vista you may be able to run ARISSatTLM despite the disclaimer. If anyone knows where to find a .wav file of the latest data sizes for the satellite that I could run on ARISSatTLM, please let me know so that I might verify that the telemetry decode works too. I found some on the development web site but I think they're old and of a different dataset size. Anyway they didn't work. 73, Jerry NØJY _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
