Re: [amsat-bb] What ever happened to this very interesting product from the UK ?
Don't know if it ever appeared in order to disappear. No response to emails, no information, no real images. You want to do/see something really cool? Look at what the FPV folks are doing for tracking. Beats anything portable I have seen in a long run :-) For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq-_MBxUWO8 Stefan, VE4NSA On Thu, Jun 19, 2014 at 3:56 PM, Thomas Doyle wrote: > I hope this did not just disappear. > > http://www.hammicro.com/About%20Us.html > > W9KE Tom Doyle > ___ > Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Re: [amsat-bb] TNC Question
Hi Kelley, > ... searching for settings specific to this unit for ARISS work I'm not familiar with the Kantronics syntax for typing commands but see below for a general summary of the parameters you may find useful. ARISS has a summary of hardware TNC and soundcard TNC operations posted at: http://www.ariss.org/uploads/1/9/6/8/19681527/k9jkm_2012_symposium_ver 2.pdf (careful, might line wrap this URL) The list of parameters you will find useful but may need to adapt to Kantronics syntax: MYCALL - Your Callsign Default is NOCALL, but you want others to know you are there. DAYTIME - YYMMDDHHMM Used if you want to timestamp the packets you are receiving. MONITOR ON - Displays all packets on the frequency MALL ON - Displays all packets on the frequency (connected or unconnected) MCOM ON - Displays the AX.25 protocol with the message (might clutter your screen) MCON ON - Allow you to see all packets even when in CONVERS mode MSTAMP ON - Monitored packets are timestamped MRPT ON - Displays the entire digipeat path for the packets. CONSTAMP ON - Connect and disconnect status messages are timestamped HEADERLN ON - Header information is displayed on separate line from message text PASSALL ON - TNC will accept and display packets that have errors (noise). Partial packets, even with errors, are often still readable to the human eye. PASSALL OFF - TNC will only accept and display packets that have complete CRC. CONVERS - Mode to type packet message from keyboard directly to the TNC. Ctrl-C will exit CONVERS mode. MHEARD - Displays your TNC's "heard" list (updated only when PASSALL OFF) UNPROTO CQ VIA ARISS - Most basic string for ARISS to copy, route, and digipeat your packet -- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM k9...@amsat.org ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] TNC Question
A friend has loaned me a Kantronics KPC-3+ TNC with v9.1 firmware. I've been searching for settings specific to this unit for ARISS work. Most of what I found are generic settings (some info is conflicting). I'm wondering if anyone is successfully using one of these units for ARISS work, and, if so, what settings do you use or recommend? Thanks, -- Kelley - WØRK ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Successful launch of amateur radio satellite payloads
Really great to see more satellites launched with transponder payloads. There's a Linear Transponder, FM voice transponder, D-STAR Parrot Repeater and I think it's three satellites with Digipeaters. http://amsat-uk.org/2014/06/19/successful-launch-of-amateur-radio-satellite-payloads/ Congratulations to all involved in developing these satellites.

Re: [amsat-bb] Hotmail Rejecting Amsat
Guys check with your ISP. mine will let me have 4 different address. removing the need for a web based service. But only need 2. One for general email and the other for HAM related list. plus can better control spam by blocking anything sent direct from a web based address due to the never ending hijacking of those accounts. Very helpful on a satellite internet system with a daily bandwidth limit. John, W0JAB ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Microsoft et al throw AMSAT baby out with the bathwater.

We are doing OK with garden variety spammers ... so far this week the AMSAT mail server has blocked 97,257 spam e-mails. It is the "phishers" variant of spammers in this particular case those guys trying to trick you into thinking that your bank is sending you an e-mail, and getting you to click on a web link that goes to a fake site that looks like your bank, and then harvesting your username password, account number etc. Many large e-mail providers including Microsoft, Yahoo! amd AOL have responded by refusing to accept mail that has a "From:" address that does not match the domain of the server that is actually sending the e-mail.This is a business decision ... they want to prevent their customers from getting malicious e-mails, and don't want to see their company's name in the news. AMSAT's mailing list and aliases "look like" phishing attempts since they say they are from one domain, but are actually sent from another. There is no easy solution - every alternative has some sort of downside, but we are working on alternatives for affected AMSAT members. If you are curious for more details, put "Yahoo! Breaks! Every!
