[amsat-bb] Re: Doppler Tuning IC-821H
Hello Paul, you didn't purchase the wrong radio, hi. SatPC32 supports CAT control of the IC-821H. A friend of mine and I myself used the IC-821H for several years. I have just tested CAT control of this radio once again under Windows 7, 32-bit, and Vista, 64-bit. CAT control works flawlessly. With SSB-satellites I could tune the RX frequency with the radio's VFO knob and the program tuned the TX Vfo to the right uplink frequency (transparent tuning). My settings in menu Radio Setup: Model: IC-821H, CAT baudrate: 19200, Icom address: $4C (both values, default address of the IC-821H). COM port number of the USB-to-Serial adapter, CAT delay: 70, Option Satellite mode checked, all other options unchecked. I usded a C-17 compatible home build CAT interface (see sub folder Icom in the SatPC32 program folder) and a Prolific and also a FTD single port USB-to-Serial adapter. Both adapters work. It is most important, however, to use Vista and Windows 7 compatible drivers. My PC has a genuine serial port and 2 additional serial ports on a PCI card and they work also with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. For detailed instructions read the Hints[Radio] ... for Icom users (SatPC32 menu ?). Regarding Vista and Windows 7 compatible drivers for the USB-to-Serial adapters see my website www.dk1tb.de, English page Downloads, Vistad and Windows 7 Compatiblity. 55 + 73s, Erich, DK1TB - Original Message - From: Paul Delaney - K6HR paul.hamra...@verizon.net To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Sent: Sunday, February 06, 2011 7:06 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Doppler Tuning IC-821H I just acquired an ICOM IC-821H as I plan to build a satellite capable station.

[amsat-bb] G5400 elevation issue
The display on the control box reads correct elevation, but on my digital display on the Easy Rotor Controller shows erratic elevation position. I have recalibrated it several times with no success. It won't read any elevation until it is around 20° give or take. It also seems to have become worse since our really cold temps set in. My best guess is the pot in the rotor, but not sure where to start in the process. Thanks in advance Dave - KB1PVH Sent from my Verizon Wireless DROID X ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: G5400 elevation issue
This sounds more like a problem with the calibration pot(s) within the control box. The control box has a set for the meters and another set for the digital/computer control of the rotator. I would expect the meters to also read incorrectly if the pot in the rotor was a problem.

Hi, I am in the process of uploading my logs to LoTW, and I sent a request for a certificate for KD8KSN/8 to cover my portable operations in Ohio, and I set the begin date and left the end date blank. After I did that I realized that you can only have one location per certificate. What should I do in this case? Do I need separate certs for each portable operation in Ohio, or is there are way to go in and change the location? Will ARRL allow you to have 3,4,5,etc., certs for KD8KSN/8?

Zack, I am in the process of uploading my logs to LoTW, and I sent a request for a certificate for KD8KSN/8 to cover my portable operations in Ohio, and I set the begin date and left the end date blank. After I did that I realized that you can only have one location per certificate. What should I do in this case? Certificates are used for the callsigns you use, not for locations you operated from. You'll get one certificate for KD8KSN/8, and that's fine. Not setting the end date was a good thing. Once you have that back from ARRL and loaded into your TQSL program, you can define as many station locations in TQSL as needed where you used KD8KSN/8 as your call. For me, I have one WD9EWK certificate but probably 70 or 80 different station locations based on just that call. I have certificates for other calls I have operated with and station locations defined for those calls, but the one WD9EWK certificate has been the only one needed for my satellite operating in the continental USA. TQSL holds all those defined station locations for all calls. Good luck, and hope to see some matches from you in LOTW soon.

SO-67 is on over the Americas during the first week of the month. AMSAT-SA will update their website the bb when the new schedule is prepared. And agreed, SO-67 is a nice bird to work.

[amsat-bb] Re: ARISSat-1 1k BPSK software
Looking it over it looks like it will run under WINE or CrossOver. I have had it install under CrossOver on OSX just fine, but until ARISSat-1 is launched I don't know if it'd run into soundcard issues or not, but even if it does the software is capable of processing uncompressed WAV files. ~73, AC2RF Ron On Mon, Feb 7, 2011 at 6:33 PM, Gordon JC Pearce gordon...@gjcp.net wrote: On Mon, 2011-02-07 at 15:01 -0800, Roland Zurmely wrote: Demodulator/decoder software for 1k BPSK here: https://svn.sarpeidon.net/viewvc/suitsat2/ground_station_software/ARISSatTLM/install-staging/ 73 de Roland PY4ZBZ Is there going to be source available so people on non-Windows platforms can contribute?

The ARISSat-1 team is still working on the first release version of the BPSK-1000 software. We hope to release a version within the next week. The PC version is only running on XP at the moment. There will be a Mac version also. There will a wav file available to test the operation. 73, Gould, WA4SXM ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] Satpc32 and Azimuth only rotors? Functional?
I am getting closer to putting my first satellite base station together (in lieu of the Arrow that I am currently using) and am giving serious consideration to a fixed 15* antenna setup such as the Gulf Alpha designs. Having never mounted antennas, rotors etc... I am a bit concerned about my less than amazing mechanical aptitude and having to get cross-booms, Az/El rotors etc... working correctly. Is anyone using SatPc32 to successfully control Azimuth only rotors? If so, what is required to get everything working together? I would still like to automate the rotor and doppler control if at all possible. On a somewhat related note - is anyone else using a setup like this (fixed elevation) and if so, are you happy with the performance? Thanks for any thoughts, I appreciate the input, Zach KJ4ZVV ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Re: Old Cushcraft Parts
Hello Bill, Congrats on the new to you satellite antennas. 1. Look to the CushCraft website for documentation of each antenna. either order parts from CushCraft or for very common items, order from a large hardware store. 2. Verify what you have with the documentation. Element placing on the boom, element length, etc. 3. replace all hardware with stainless steel hardware of the same size. 4. dis assemble everything, elements and the boom. clean up all joints and treat ALL joints with NoAlox aluminum ladden grease. Reassemble. 5. VSWR test, trouble shoot as needed. Stan, W1LE Cape CodFN41sr On 2/7/2011 8:07 PM, Bill Gillenwater wrote: I am getting some 25+ year old Cushcraft antennas.
