[amsat-bb] HamSatDroid

2013-01-13 Thread David Johnson
Hi,

Just a note to say that there will be a series of updates coming out in the
next few weeks which will introduce some of the most popular feature
requests.

Also a quick heads up to say that once these are done we will be
introducing a paid HamSatDroidPlus version which will have a richer
interface targeted at both phones and tablets, where a proportion of the
price will go to the AMSAT-UK Satellite Building Fund.

More details on this to come. However, if you would like to make
suggestions for functionality they will be gratefully received.

Something we and others need is a web service that provides a catalog of
not just Keps but also satellite capabilities Not a textual version but
one that can be consumed by other web services. I've got a bare-bones
version working but would be happy to collaborate.

Does anyone know what the conversion spec is? What input range maps to 
what output range? Seems like a most basic spec, but I can't find it 
anywhere.


Fire up your favorite SDR software.  Tune to 100MHz + (+/- the tuning offset 
from the tuning procedure) + your desired frequency and enjoy!

Hi David,
I sent you an email some days ago with some suggestions...

The thing I am missing most is a feature to select just a few satellites to
quickly predict one or the other without having to work with the full list.

I think a way to select the so50, vo52, ao7 and iss, for example, would be
great!

Some kind of notification to be alerted of a pass in advance a configurable
time  ... would be also nice!

thanks for your software!

Right, I got that part.  But what is the input range?  Does it cover DC to
100Mhz continuous?  Down to 160 meters?  AM broadcast? VLF?  Sensitivity?
Image rejection?

It's nice to know that it uses it has a PTC fuse on the USB port, but for
an RF device, their top level description is lacking a lot of RF
information.

2013-01-13 Thread Jeff Kelly
The dongle with the 820T chip starts at about 12 meters and goes to nearly 
1.7 ghz,
so you can use the dongle itself (without up converter) for anything above 
HF.  It will also receive FM stereo.

...Unless you are using the up converter with some other device.

I think I would want to go a little more than 100 MHz (maybe 120).  The 
commercial FM station on 107.1 outs a BIG signal. 73,Jos kk0sd

100MHZ upconvert so 7.100 is 107.100
