Thanks for reply. Understood - I only did the one calibration when Funcube was launched. I am aware that the satellite drifts, but I used to start -1.5Khz below the calibration point, then move up in frequency. My point is that I had to start the QSO +6.6Khz - seems a big difference. Again, thanks for reply Peter G8KEK From: Clayton Coleman [mailto:kayakfis...@gmail.com] Sent: 15 March 2014 01:33 To: Peter Wilson Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Re: AO-73 Deaf again ???? Peter, I suggest not calibrating SatPC32 every pass of AO-73 but instead utilize the plus and minus +/- keys on your keyboard to tweak your uplink as required. AO-73 tends to move a little bit. 73 Clayton W5PFG On Mar 14, 2014 4:45 PM, "Peter Wilson" <prot...@virginmedia.com <mailto:prot...@virginmedia.com> > wrote: Paul, Thank you for your reply - I think I have solved the problem I use SatPC32 to control my rig and I have calibrated it to be fairly close for receiving my own transmission early in the pass. HOWEVER - today, I had to tune 6.5Khz higher than I normally do to hear my own signal ! Once I found my own signal everything was back to normal I know there are other people having the same issue, so I wonder what has happened to the satellite? Thanks to everyone who has replied.
