[amsat-bb] How configure a TS2000 for SO67

Hello sathams. I've tested and found out that CTSS tone in a TS2000 in sat-mode can't by set. Neither via a satprogram. But how to configure the TS2000 to work SO67 Set sat mode off Set split off Set the main VFO for uplink 145.875MHz Set to FMN mode Push the CTSS button and CT

An audio recording of the SO-67 Eastern USA pass on 14Nov2009 1350z is on my webserver. The audio is a little loud because I had the TS2000 in the narrow mode and did not adjust the recorder input level to compensate for it. My tx and rx audio was in the FM Narrow mode on the TS2000. The

Hallo Danny, the TS-2000 sub tone function works also in satellite mode (I have a TS-2000). You need a firmware update. If I remember correctly it was the latest. To steer the sub tone function via SatPC32 you need the following entry in the file SubTone.SQF (the file can be opened and edited

The central USA pass was much like the eastern pass. Signals from the satellite were very strong. Audio was very loud, even on the wideband rx setting on the TS2000. Audio cut off after a few seconds of transmission was prevalent. It seems that it took several seconds for the audio to come back

Thanks John, It would be very interesting to hear from other parts of the world where only 1-2 stations are on whether the dropouts are similar. That would help clarify the situation. SO-50 has similar dropouts, and AO-51 did as well when the PL access was enabled. Alan WA4SCA -Original

Hi Glenn! Nice to work you on that last SO-67 pass this morning. It was an easier pass to get into from DM33xp/DM43ap here in Phoenix (maximum elevation 40 degrees) compared to the earlier pass (maximum elevation 8 degrees). I posted my two MP3 recordings from this morning, along with the MP3s

Hi Alan, Well I have just had a pass over ZL with only one other station on and the performance was quite interesting and repeatable. When the transponder is triggered it stays on and does not drop out. Once the transponder is released it has a few seconds of tail. Every attempt to retrigger

Have just completed a second pass this morning over VK/ZL and this confirms the previous observations(seven or eight stations on). Waiting for the transponder tail out before transmitting shows no dropouts. Any transmissions started within the tail dropped out when the tail dropped out. Alan

Hi, Pat. I agree. Narrow FM and reduced mic gain is the way to go. You came through fine. Listened to your recordings and John's from earlier. Thanks for posting them. Once the bird is commissioned and the drop out issue is resolved, this will be a great addition to the constellation! 73
