[amsat-bb] Re: Malaysian airliner puzzle
The distance calculated between the satellite and the plane won't be credible if the time on both are not synchronized, even if the transmission from the plane is time tagged. As a matter of fact, it's quite difficult to keep such an synchronization.

By comparing the ping time to the time on the satellite, one can tell how far away the ping is. You can draw a circle with that radius, taking into account fuel available on the airplane and last heading to sort of kind of bound where the airplane is. That is where the red circles in the NY Times article come from. A second satellite is needed to pinpoint a more exact location, but even that will have a relatively position error on the ground. I don't think it is within range of another INMARSAT. Whether or not other assets exist that could receive the signal is a matter of speculation. - KK6MC On Mar 16, 2014, at 2:01 PM, Rick Walter wb3...@gmail.com wrote: Tony, since the satellite cannot tell direction of the Ping, only distance, the arcs have the same distance from the plane making up a half circle. You would need to sats to hear the plane, see where the two arcs cross to determine a location. This is the same way seismic stations locate earthquakes.

All, I managed to operate the special event station BT3WX to work several E2, BY, VR2, XX9 throughout the evening pass of XW-1 using the FM transponder. It was the 1st test open of this bird's transponder. Everything works just great!

[amsat-bb] HT supports full duplex satellite operation
All, Could anyone list the HT models (available today in the market) that support full duplex satellite operation? I know I can get connected with two HTs and portable cross Yagi. Just need a simpler solution. IC-W23AT and TH-D7 are discontinued. Michael Chen, BD5RV/4 Email: michael.bd...@gmail.com MSN: bd...@jsdxc.org Skype: michael-bd5rv ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
