[amsat-bb] Cloud -Unisat Activity
Hi , Using the initial keps posted out for Unisat ( Cloud ) - I did some sweep monitoring on 437 Mhzs during a predicted pass 0929 GMT ( 20/6/14 ) Heard various bursts of data and activity from the satellites in the group. Did not identify each one at the time but now that I know that they are active will follow up and clarify hopefully more accurately. Congratulations on the success of the launch and activation of payloads. The keps on Celestrak.com show recent launches with many in the list for day 170.

Re: [amsat-bb] TNC Question
You can configure AGWPE for the KAM TNC and make sure to provide the commands in AGWPE to initialize in the KISS mode then use UISS to communicate with the ISS. IniKiss1: XKCH OFF IniKiss2: INTFACE KISS IniKiss3: RESET ExitKiss On Exit Checked I have read XKCH OFF and INTFACE KISS sometime's is not recognized by KAM, I use ^M with MFJ 1278B and it works. 73 Nitin [VU3TYG] From: JoAnne Maenpaa k9...@comcast.net To: AMSAT-BB@amsat.org Sent: Friday, 20 June 2014 6:22 AM Subject: 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 enter - Mode to type packet message from keyboard directly to the TNC. Ctrl-C will exit CONVERS mode. MHEARD enter - 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.

Re: [amsat-bb] LilacSat-2 will have FM voice transponder capability
Hi All, LilacSat-2 is expected to be launched in May or June 2015. We haven’t decided how to use the repeater yet. An idea is to use a subaudio PSK31 telemetry with it. About XW-2, LilacSat-2 will be launched with several satellites designed by CAST and CAMSAT with amateur radio, but we don't know the exact name indeed. We will update our website later. 73!

[amsat-bb] XE1SEW/P DL90 Operating FO-29 Portable
On the last pass of SO-50 (15:27 UTC, 20-Jun) over North America, I worked XE1SEW operating portable in DL90. Last night he was calling CQ on FO-29 from EL00. I do not believe he made any successful contacts due in part to many stations calling CQ within 3 kHz of him. There may have been other factors. Having operated many times portable, I can assure you that neighboring stations on adjacent frequencies can pose challenges. I am not laying blame but rather making an observation. Please, consider moving away from FO-29's passband center if you intend to operate portable. As a general rule on FO-29 I try to transmit portable below 145.93 and above 145.97. As a portable station this provides some shielding from the death zone of higher power, fixed stations who always seem to appear and call CQ +/- 10 kHz of the transponder's center frequency. (some suffering from terminal CHS syndrome) 73, Clayton W5PFG ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] Question for Gpredict Users
I'm new to using Ubuntu-Linux. I finally with a lot of outside counciling got FlDigi to run using either Hamlib or Flrig to handle CAT on my FT-847. I thought I was home free until I found that Gpredict would not control CAT on the radio. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help? Linux is my only resource on this old XP P3 computer. Ubuntu runs great if I can only learn how to use command line Linus language hi hi! 73 Rick W2JAZ ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
