The frequency update rate depends on the update interval you select under the CAT menu. Note that the interval is the frequency change, not a time interval. There are 2 separate tuning interval options you can select: one for SSB/CW signals, and one for FM signals. Typically, a tuning interv

2009-05-26 Thread Bill Dzurilla
Very cool, my first homebrew project in 20 years appears to be a complete success (knock on wood). For about $65, I was able to build a modified version of the K8DAV U-100 Rotor controller, and now my Elk antenna turns automatically and follows the satellites during each pass. My particular r

Hi all, Finally succeeded to copy and record CP6 CW beacon. The digital mode sounds difficult to inercept, as it is very short, imediately following the CW transmission, and appears only every 30 seconds,which i think makes it impossible to manually tune on the SSB signal. In addition, when usin

Hi, The Elk with handle seems to be working fine, and the EDS-10 should be in by the end of the week, as should the digital voice recorder. By the time the rig arrives in 2-3 weeks, you guys will have no doubt figured it all out. Did somebody mutter "cart before the horse?" As always, thanks for

My EDS-10 arrives this week, probably tomorrow. Saturday I did hook the radio up to my ancient Arrow antenna and took a listen to AO-27. Receiving on the subband as I would if working the satellite, one thing odd I noticed was the off frequency response of the radio. If I was 5 kHz off, it seeme
