[amsat-bb] COMPASS-1 needs your help
Hi all, We got an single beacon last night. COMPASS-1 did an complete restart and the tresholds for heater and battery voltages should be new set. Without changing the tresholds the heater will be on if the temperature inside goes under 10 deg. The batteries are weak and this leads to an crash. 2012-02-28 00:58 UTC FF032802182190 Solar Cell Voltage 5.00 V Solar Panel 6 Cur (+Z) 18.82 mA Solar Panel 2 Cur (+Y) 0.00 mA Solar Panel 3 Cur (-X) 150.59 mA Solar Panel 4 Cur (-Y) 12.55 mA Solar Panel 5 Cur (-Z) 250.98 mA EPS Reset Counter 0 Power Level Critical Battery Capacity Heater Active Battery Heater ON Power Safe Counter 0 Emergency Mode Counter 0 Battery Voltage 2.82 V Battery Current 0.00 mA Battery Temperature 0 °C Can anyone try to send the following DTMF sequences to COMPASS-1 (if in sunlight), please ? uplink: 145.980 MHz FM - DTMF confirmation beep on 437.275 MHz CW ** 13 # 200 # ** 14 # 200 # ** 15 # 178 # ** 16 # 170 # Any efforts and reports are very apprechiated.

[amsat-bb] Re: Memorial to Dick Daniels, W4PUJ
Eric : It was my pleasure to do this and I felt an obligation to since I had become so busy I didn't get to see him during the period when he could still take visits. Dick was always supportive and helpful to me and like all who knew him, understand the size of our loss. He was the epitome of solidarity, always honoring his obligations, with a big sense of responsibility with no obvious sense of entitlement to anyone's thanks. Dick was always seemingly asking himself what have I done for you lately? ... We've lost the irreplaceable. I took a collection of (so-so) pictures with my phone which I will add to the smugmug site and post a notice. I wish I had taken my camera. Rather than offending, I would have fit right in with his children who had their cameras clicking away! But you will at least get the feeling that it was a celebration of a life. 73's Bob ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] 847 for sale
I would like to offer my Yaesu FT-847 for sale. I purchased this radio new in 1998. It is an early model but does accept computer control. I waited till the com port issues were resolved before I purchased mine. It has been back to Yaesu maybe once for an alignment, no problems I just thought it would be a good idea. I'm not having any problems with it, but have replaced it with an Icom C-9100 and just don't use it anymore.. Here is what you will get. 1 one owner FT-847 in nice condition. 1 FC-20 HF/6M antenna tuner 1 YF-112S-02 SSB filter 1 Symek TNC3S 1 hand mic 1 Yaesu MD-100 desk mic Original Manual, and box for the 847. Various cables to hook it all together. The 847 has the Symek 64k baud wide front end mod. This doesn't affect the normal performance as it is a just an isolated tap off of the RX front end that has its own wide receiver. It allows you to receive 38k4 baud packet. I'm asking $900.00 for the entire package shipped insured CONUS. Outside the CONUS I will calculate actual shipping costs, minus estimated CONUS. Also I will donate 10% of the net profit from the sale and apply to the AMSAT program of the purchasers choice 73 Jeff kb2m ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
