It is a shocking and a very sad news. It is a bit difficult for me to
accept that OT Robert is no more with us. He was truly an inspiring,
humble and a fine human being. His technical knowledge is par with
excellence. Rather, it is difficult to express in words about him. We
really lost a
I discovered this with my 910H. If you compare the schematic with an older
Icom transceiver, say the IC-756, you will notice that the voltage divider
on pin 8 decreases the audio on that pin by a factor of about 50 from the
IC-756!
I thought of two cures:
1. Modify the radio by replacing the
Hey Gary,
Thanks for this report. I had a pass of FO-29 on Saturday evening virtually all
to myself - or, rather, I didn't hear any other stations, and no one answered
my CQ. If you are referring to the pass that came down the east coast from the
north a little before 11 p.m., local time, last
It is sad and shocking to know that Robert is no more. I remember meeting
him many times and will continue to remember him as a humble and fine human
being. He was a life member of AMSAT INDIA and has advised and shared his
inputs during the design of VO-52. He was also one of the early VU

Has anyone successfully converted wispdde to Visual Basic 2008 Express? I
need to make some code changes to drive my antenna rotors but I don't have
access to VB6. Modifying the software for the newer version looks like a
major undertaking...

I try also to receive NOAA APT transmission with an helix but i got very
marginal results even with a preamp for 137khz. The signal was
better but the pagers QRM was also boosted by about a factor of 5...
The only one viable solution was to use my VHF satellite beam with a PAR

Right on, Gary !
And in case nobody on the AMSAT-BB knows it, there
was a record number of CW logs submitted for the CQ World Wide

Well said Nigel, I am about to discontinue monitoring this group because of
the plethora or do it for me questions... do the research first folks and
then ask what you can't figure out for yourselves... That is called
learning..

Whether or not a question is raised after someone has actually tried to work it
out for themselves or not is immaterial.
If this reflector, which lets face it is concerned with some fairly high level
stuff in comparison to normal ham radio operations), is going to go the way of
responding to
Surely we should encourage people to think for themselves and at least try to
sort their own issues.
What are they going to do when the more experienced are no longer here.
Isn't Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and
you have fed him for a lifetime relevent
No, don't agree.
Man has to eat and will learn or be taught to fish or die!
If man can not program his radio and can not work it out for himself and
can't get a reply on a board such as this then he will go and maybe
never come back and that's another satellite operator we may have lost.
But
Cheers to you David! You just talked me out of unsubscribing to this BB. I'm
licensed 2 years and still trying to figure out what the question is, let alone
the answer.

He was not sure if it was full duplex or not
I will see if I can download a manual to see

After a couple of hours of surfing around on Universal Radio and other
radios sites that keep a good archive, I've completed the list of full
duplex radios. Use it however you want; print it out before a hamfest, post
it in your shack. All that I ask is that you let me know if there are any
errors
Hello
I am relatively new (- I have been tring on my own to get the hang of working
the satellites) with little or no luck.
I have been posting my failed results to twitter and getting over frustrated in
my attempts - luckly there have been a few who have given me pointers. And one

If you have the manual you can look and see how the cable is wired up, then
look on line for the new radio and see if the cable is wired the same
If so then my guess would be they are the same cable
I have an ic-91ad and a kenwood th-d7ag - they use different cables (same plug

I would try taking the antenna off of the tripod for a little while. The
polarization of the satellites changes constantly, and with the antenna on
the tripod, it's difficult to compensate for those changes.
Also, AO-51 is a much stronger bird than SO-50, but AO-27 is the strongest
at the moment.
I also forgot to mention that a PreAmp makes all of the difference. I worked
a few passes with N5AFV this past weekend for Museum Ship weekend, and he
let me borrow his preamp. On AO-27, it went from an S-1 to an S6, and with
SO-50 it went from an S-0 (still audible though) to an S-4. I'll also
