Hi Alan
Yes this is the same issue I got no replies.

It has been many months since I tried the ISS version  . I also uploaded a
new version of satpc with no joy.  The program starts out put a icon on the
tray and then goes away.  I have seen this issue with other programs that
can find some other file.

I was hoping other on the list had the same problem.

Nick,

Have you made any changes which we should know about to diagnose the
problem?  You asked about SatPC32ISS earlier.  Is this the same problem,
that is, nothing now works?

You could try a restore from the DataBackup program.

2013-11-29 Thread Alan
Nick,

I just tried mine, and it starts fine.  Normally the Satpc32 programs are good 
with error messages,
though they may be auf Deutsch.  Any chance an antivirus program is blocking it 
by mistake?  I have
had that happen with other programs over the years.  Otherwise, nothing to 
suggest, except for a
complete backup, removal and reinstall, test the fresh version, and then 
restore your old data.
Perhaps Erich or someone will have a better answer.

I was hoping other on the list had the same problem.

[amsat-bb] help with the CAPE II sat

2013-11-29 Thread Nick Pugh K5QXJ
Hi AMSATERS

The CAPE team is having trouble copying the bacon's from out sat below is a
table of our receiver noise with different azimuths  notice our system
temperature terminated in a 50 resistor is 367 deg k and when connected to
an antenna ranges from 4000 to 12000 deg k. The noise appears to be white
noise

 

Question

1.Does this seem reasonable?

2.   If the noise is not reasonable how to you go about trouble shooting
it?

3.We are concerned about the gain of our antenna to help us trouble
shoot this question what is the bacon at 145.935 mhz received level on
fundcube-1 what is your antenna gain and what range to the sat did you
observe the receive level?

Alan,
thanks for answering Nicks mail.
I have just sent him an answer offf the list. But I can also only suggest to 
run DataBackup or to uninstall/reinstall the program.

[amsat-bb] SATPC32 AO73 question

2013-11-29 Thread Ted
Hi all,

 

In spite of my usual ineptness with this program, I have managed to have it
talking to my FT-847, downloaded the keps for AO73 and appear to be tracking
it!!

 

However, I can't seem to get the radio to hold the up/dn frequencies in the
proper VFO's. I start out with the uplink showing in VFOA, but after a min
or so the frequencies swap and I have to use the ab button to get them
back.

 

Am I missing a setting?

 

Any help appreciated

 

And Happy Thanksgiving to all

 

73, Ted

K7TRK

[amsat-bb] AO-73 frequency fluctuations

2013-11-29 Thread Ronald G. Parsons
Using the keps from this morning (epoch 1.066), I measured the frequency of 
the telemetry signal of AO-73 during a 43 deg pass at about 1648 UTC (Nov 29). 
This is a pass with the satellite in the sun
The frequencies are the frequency “at the satellite” calculated by SatPC32 to 
place the center of the telemetry in the middle of my 3.0 kHz USB passband. 
Thus the frequency of the center “at the satellite” are 1.50 kHz higher than 
these.
Elevation  xx where the frequency is 145935.xx MHz
0  .94
5  .87
10.81
15.73
20.70
25.62
30.60
35.56
40.57

35.42
30.37
25.39
20.36
15.32
10.30
5  .27
0  .20

Thus a change of about 600 Hz over the entire pass with the frequency 
DECREASING. 
--
Using the keps from this evening (epoch 1.744), I measured the frequency of 
the telemetry signal of AO-73 during a 21 deg pass at about 0340 UTC (Nov 30). 
This is a pass with the satellite in shadow, running on batteries.
The frequencies are the frequency “at the satellite” calculated by SatPC32 to 
place the center of the telemetry in the middle of my 3.0 kHz USB passband. 
Thus the frequency of the center “at the satellite” are 1.50 kHz higher than 
these.
Elevation  xx where the frequency is 145934.xx MHz
0  145933.98

20.21

20.32

15.48

10.50

2.5   .74
0  .76
Thus a change of about 800 Hz over the entire pass with the frequency 
INCREASING. However, where noted with , there were were sudden shifts in 
frequency up and down of 1.0 to 1.5 kHz.
During this pass, the linear transponder was on, and I assume the sudden shifts 
of frequency noted by  could have been caused by changes in total power 
used by the transponder.
-
The first pass above was during battery charging and the frequency decreased. 
The second pass was during battery discharging and the frequency was increasing.
The sudden shifts of frequency are very obvious when you are in QSO on the 
transponder.
It would be interesting for someone to correlate the frequency shifts with some 
parameter such as voltage or temperature.
