Re: [amsat-bb] IC-821 tone
From what I read in the manual the tone option is available with the USA and Australia versions only, I use a 821H and does not have a have default option for tone and hence I generate the tone using a software called ComTekk in my PC and the audio is fed to the ACC socket on the 821H . 73 Nitin [VU3TYG] From: Floyd Rodgers kc5...@swbell.net To: Stephen E.

I think the trick is to program the tone in a satellite memory, then recall that memory channel before letting SatPC32 control the transmit and receive frequencies. Selecting the tone frequency and enabling the tone can't be done via CAT CI-V commands on the IC-821. 73, Steve N9IP -- Steve Belter, s...@wintek.com On Jun 28, 2014, at 10:52 PM, Floyd Rodgers kc5...@swbell.net wrote: Trying to enable tone on the radio in satellite mode.

[amsat-bb] LO-78 transponder back again
Dear radio amateurs, I want to notify that finally after a long brake (mainly due to ground station maintenance works) we have switched the transponder on again. Duty cycle will depend on battery voltage level. All other telemetry is inactive to save power. We hope the signal should be even better now as the satellite is descending steadily to 300 km and wish you all good QSOs! Next update in 24 hours. 73, Laurynas ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Re: [amsat-bb] LO-78 is ON
I was just listing on a pass of one of the satellites the other day. One station was calling a CQ and up the band there was someone answering. they never did make contact. I was trying to think it out why. Maybe no computer control. Maybe wrong data entered for the sat. John ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

Hi Folks, The FUNcube/AO-73 mode has been changed as at 1944 UTC to Auto Eclipse mode (ie transponder on when sat is in darkness, full power beacon when in daylight) Please note that it will NOT be commanded next Friday into full time eclipse mode. There is an important demonstration for school children at the Royal Institutes' London Faraday Lecture theatre next Sat, 5 July, so the sat will be in full power beacon mode when in sunlight all over that weekend. 73s Jim G3WGM ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

Re: [amsat-bb] Just Spoke to the ISS
Congrats to Stefan and Clint on the ISS Field Day contacts! I heard Reid make a couple of contacts, but was too busy trying to make the CAT control in SatPC32 work with my 24 year old IC-970H. It works now although with some irritating limitations on the CAT side. The rotor control side works fine. Rather than wasting several hours, I should have just plugged it into my MacBookPro and fired up MacDoppler. It took all of 5 minutes to get up and running with full CAT control and then make a Field Day contact on AO-73. So on to the next “challenge” … My AO-16 era LL Grace DSP-93 isn’t quite current anymore. Any recommendations on current equipment and/or software to decode 1k2 BPSK telemetry, and 9600 FSK etc. ?? 73 Tim w6mu On Jun 28, 2014, at 11:38 PM, amsat-bb-requ...@amsat.org wrote: Date: Sat, 28 Jun 2014 15:07:58 -0500 From: Stefan Wagener wagen...@gmail.com To: Fabiano Moser fabianomo...@gmail.com Cc: Clint Bradford clintbra...@earthlink.net, amsat-bb amsat-bb@amsat.org Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] Just Spoke to the ISS Message-ID: CAKu8kHA4NriVXwivL2v27aYRPk4vWtNyQVzNbLEod18fx4=i...@mail.gmail.com Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Yes, ISS (Reid Wiseman) was active again on the last past (2 min ago).
