Frank, I just cruised by the SATPC32 web site and find that there is a patch for the IC-9100 on the download page. According to the explanation, this version will not work with the IC-910, though a full version is on the way.

Hi John, yes was active in that pass, but was working in QRP Frequencies, Up 145.880 Dn 435.150. Was strange because I was trying to hear the activity of ground stations and Ups, several stations were there including N8MH. But looks like was too soon to celebrate, in the followed pass didn't hear nothing.

W5IU does very well with the FT-1634. (Two FT-817s.) Standing room only at Dayton. Of course being set up in a parking lot may have something to do with that. ;) The two-817 all-mode satellite station works great. I do that as well, and sometimes go with one 817 and use a TH-F6A as the downlink receiver. Without a home station, these smaller radios are perfect at demonstrations or just operating from wherever I happen to be. Other than my Elk log periodic antenna and items deemed unsuitable for carry-on luggage, everything fits in a laptop bag for air travel. This station went to places across the US along with Canada and Mexico during 2010, and will make the trip to Australia next week. With all of that said, the IC-9100 looks like a neat radio. Maybe a working model will be at Dayton next week, so someone could at least check it for things like birdies in the satellite subbands. Too bad it probably won't be hooked up to antennas suitable for satellite operating, unless it could possibly be taken outside to the AMSAT demo area for W5IU to run it through its paces during some passes. :-) The price is a bit high, but at least Icom hasn't abandoned this corner of our hobby. 73!

[amsat-bb] Re: KD8KSN/M a question
I could be wrong, but I suspect a couple of things: 1. The fact that your downlink antenna is always vertically polarized rather than steered to the polarization of the satellite. 2. The position of the antenna on your vehicle could also have a huge affect as well as the orientation of the vehicle to the satellite during the pass. Isn't the FT-350 full duplex capable? 73, Jeff Moore -- KE7ACY - Original Message - From: Zachary Beougher zack.kd8...@hotmail.com Hi All, Thanks for the QSO during my few mobile ops the past couple days – and for your patience. We had three small road trips planned for various reasons Wednesday-Friday, so it provided a great opportunity to try the mobile equipment out, find out what combinations work better than others, etc., etc., so I can perhaps get on the air a little more while mobile during vacations and such. I will be uploading all QSOs to LoTW within a day or so, and if anyone wants a card just email me the QSO details. I did have a question: One consistent issue I found while operating is that I could just barely hear a bird from AOS-TCA, but from TCA-LOS I could hear fine, even down to 10-5 degrees. I am not understanding why I can’t hear one side of the pass, but I can hear the other fine – almost full quieting with the preamp. I should also mention that I experienced this issue on AO27 and SO50, not AO51. I would thinnk it would be a polarization issue, but that still doesn’t make sense to me. My main setup consisted of: Uplink: TH-D7A (7w plugged into 12VDC), Comet CA-2x4SR mag for uplink. Downlink: FTM-350AR, ARR SP432VDG preamp on battery or 12v, Arrow duplexer (440 side hooked up which solved my desense issues so I could work full duplex), and a 19” quarter wave mag. I had posted here about a month or so ago wondering if intermod would be an issue using a preamp while mobile. I monitored about 7-8 passes over the past three days while mobile and intermod was never an issue. I did have a little bit of alternator whine on the FTM-350AR’s receive, but it was very minimal. That could be solved by running the cables directly to the battery. Since we were in the family vehicle I just used the cig lighter (I know that’s not a good idea, but it was only for a couple days). 73! Zack KD8KSN ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
