[amsat-bb] Re: ISS Repeater for Field Day!
According to www.issfanclub.com, the ISS repeater has not been active for almost 2 years now. At one point it was rumored that the memory programming of the radio had been messed up, and the crew did not know how to put it into crossband repeat mode manually. Don't know whether that's true or not, but I wouldn't count on seeing the repeater back up until the backup D700 is shipped up to them, or they receive a reprogramming file.

[amsat-bb] I Figured it out: SO50 Help Please
I figured it out with the help of a service monitor. It turns out that while you can set the frequency of the sub band by pushing the sub button, you can not turn on the Tone Encode that way. You have to move the TX to the main dial, turn on the Tone, and then move it back. Therefore, I was not putting out a tone. By the way - the manual did not mention this.

You are arming SO-50 as per the instructions on the AMSAT page: "1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute timer on board the spacecraft." http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=4&retURL=/satellites/status.php Once armed, you can transmit using 67Hz PL.

It should look something like this: OOREOS,437.305,0,FM,,,0,0,1200 Baud I don't follow O\OREOS, but this should get you closer. Perhaps someone who does can paste in his known working configuration.

The satellite name in your Doppler.SQF file must EXACTLY match the name in your keps file, unless you have an entry in the AmsatNames.txt file to translate from the ID or International Designator number to the name you are using. That being said, in the NASA 2-line keps available from AMSAT, O/OREOS is listed as OOREOS, with no slash. That's probably your issue, right there...

[amsat-bb] Re: Fw: O\OREOS Help
d. Entering Satellite Frequency Data Satellite frequency data is used by SatPC32 to tune your radio. This information is stored in the Doppler.SQF file located in the SatPC32 program directory. This is a text file and you should follow the same procedures to modify it as you would use for any other text file. In the Doppler.SQF file you will find satellite entries in the following format using SO-50 Mode V/U mode as an example: SO-50,436795,145850,FM,FM,NOR,0,0 Satellite Name - Name matching the name in the Keplerian Elements file Downlink Frequency - True frequency in KHz on which the satellite is transmitting Uplink Frequency - True frequency in KHz on which the satellite is receiving Downlink Mode - emission used for this satellite on this downlink frequency Uplink Mode - emission used for this satellite on this uplink frequency Tracking Mode - whether the uplink and downlink frequencies track in normal or reverse mode Downlink Offset - downlink offset in KHz (see Section 5 below) Uplink Offset - uplink offset in KHz (see Section 5 below) Do not use commas or periods to separate thousands values as these will be interpreted as a parameter separator. Only use a decimal to enter fractional kilohertz. This information is used by SatPC32 to initially set up the frequency of the radio. If the mode is single sideband (SSB) the frequency is only a starting point, and as you tune your radio's downlink frequency SatPC32 will adjust your uplink frequency accordingly. If the mode is FM SatPC32 does not allow you to change the radio's downlink frequency since this is a fixed value. (Note, in FM mode you can still fine tune your receiver using your radio's RIT control. You can have as many entries for a satellite as the satellite supports. For example, AO-7 has two modes (B and A) so it has two entries: AO-7,145948.8,432149.4,USB,LSB,REV,0,0 AO-7,29450,145900,USB,USB,NOR,0,0 SatPC32 will use the first mode entered as the default mode when the satellite is selected, so in the case of AO-7, it will default to Mode B. If you need to use another mode select it by using the CAT menu item and select the mode you need. If you are only using SatPC32 to tune a receiver you can enter 0 for the uplink frequency. If you are only using it to tune a transmitter, enter 0 for the downlink frequency.
