This is old, old stuff. The backstory to is is that it's an *American* device, not Chinese, and it was done that way to disguise fitting a more modern capacitor into a vintage amplifier. I can't remember why they went with 2200μF instead of 6800μF - possibly the guy that did it felt that 2200μF was adequate. It was over a decade ago when I first saw it along with the writeup ;-) -- Gordon JC Pearce MM0YEQ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Re: ARISSat-1 status message
Given that we have no battery, is there any use for the low and emergency power modes? Can they be disabled? If the solar panels can provide the minimum power to keep things alive, even in worst case angles (can they?), then having the spacecraft act so skittishly is kind of annoying.

[amsat-bb] ARISSatTLM under Wine?
Has anyone had any success running ARISSatTLM on Linux under Wine?
