Hi to the list, as I cannot find the piece for my TS-790E as it is discontinued, I am thinking that it is time to change my radio. Anybody can suggest me on that has already enclosed 2m, 7cm and 23cm. Also it will be wonderful if is already ready to RX and TX 9600 baud and 38k4 baud Without to modify it by myself. Any suggestion will be really appreciated 73's de Enzo IK8OZV EasyLog 5 BetaTester EasyLog PDA BetaTester WinBollet BetaTester D.C.I.

[amsat-bb] Re: New Radio
Hi Vincenzo, IK8OZV If you remember a few years ago I suggested you to sell to me your TS-790E By the way I was fortunate enought that you do not accepted my offer because I purchased a second hand TS-790E from a seller in internet complete with 23 cm module and all accessories for 800,00 Euro, a good price, and it works wery well as nominal and as new. You can try to get your TS-790E be repaired by the maintenance service from HSP Hardsoft Products http://www.hsp.it/ If they don't have available the needed spare parts it is not a problem because they are connected with smaller companies for maintenance service into a wide range of amateur equipments. If you are not succesful with HSP I suggest you to buy a more nova days uptodate equipment like a Icom IC 9100 wich is obviously more costly but it has already enclosed from frequency range: 10-160 m + WARC /50-54 / 144-146 / 430-440 MHz (23 cm option, UX-9100).

[amsat-bb] UKube-1 linear transponder CubeSat may launch October
BBC News is reporting that the UK Space Agency's first CubeSat UKube-1, being built by Clyde Space in Glasgow, may launch in late October 2013. Clyde Space Senior Systems Engineer Steve Greenland will be giving a presentation on UKube-1 to the AMSAT-UK International Space Colloquium which takes place July 20-21 at the Holiday Inn, Guildford, GU2 7XZ, UK. The Colloquium is open to all but for those unable to attend the event all 18 presentations including UKube-1 should be streamed live to the web. Further information on UKube-1 at http://amsat-uk.org/2013/07/18/ukube-1-launch/ 73 Trevor M5AKA AMSAT-UK website http://amsat-uk.org/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pages/AMSAT-UK/208113275898396 Twitter https://twitter.com/AMSAT_UK ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Antenna direction calibration
I actually use the sun for aligning the antennas. SatPC32 comes with a program called SuM, which can point the antennas directly at the sun (or moon!). To align the antennas, I look at the shadow of the antennas on the ground, and adjust until the shadow is minimum size. It's really easy, (and you don't need to look at the sun to do this type of alignment). 73!

[amsat-bb] Re: Antenna direction calibration
Hi Dave, KB5WIA To align the antennas, I don't look at the shadow of the antennas on the ground, but I adjust the position of the antenna in Azimuth and Elevation until the Sun-Noise received in my Signal Streng indicator is the maximum. This is very important particularly at very high frequencies using a dish because the feed can be wrongly mounted sligtly off point from the center of the dish and the pencil of the radiation pattern of the dish can be affected by a squint not visible looking at the shadow of the feed at the center of the dish but still existing from the point of view of receiving a less strenght of Sun-Noise. 73" de i8CVS Domenico - Original Message - From: "David Palmer KB5WIA" To: "Rodney Waln" Cc: Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2013 7:15 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Antenna direction calibration > I actually use the sun for aligning the antennas.
