Hi Luc:
Your question was:
Why they don't put the ISS cross band repeater on?
Answer:
I assume you are referring to the Kenwood TM-D700 radio, when it is in
"Cross-Band" mode.
The TM-D700 is a good radio, but it was never designed to support the duty
cycle required by a full time "Cross-Band" r
Dear AMSAT fellows,
recently I got some additional interesting information and pictures
especially on the early AMSAT satellites and added them to the

Please have a look and hopefully enjoy it.

Hi Ryan,
At first I ran my Alfa Spid off the shack 13.8V D.C. supply. I also got flicker
plus some anomalous readings.
I put this down to voltage drops on my power supply.
You might be having a similar experience as under load from the Spid motors
your car battery may not be giving 12 volts.

Hi John,
Are you using this rotor system for an array of antennas
or a big dish? If a dish, how large? I noticed their rotors at
Visalia last year. But didn't ask the reps their thoughts
about turning a 12 to 16 foot dish. I know there are two
versions, I think one is heavy duty. Not sure which
It's ironic that someone complains on the internet, about using the internet,
instead of radio!

Good luck with your

Despite EasyComm 2's similarities to GS-232, modifications to Predict's

I've used the LVB Tracker...
You can find the unit for sale at the AMSAT website. This way you can have

Very nice work Ed!
For those of you outside of North America who cannot
get "English" sized pvc parts, AMSAT-UK is offering
the 70cm Parasitic Lindenblad in kit form using metric
components thanks to John, G7HIA.
Go to www.uk.amsat.org select "Shop" from the
left hand menu and "hardware."

Since the first Feb 6 pass there is only a carrier on 435.150 and it looks like
the L band receiver is not switch on?

It's worked beautifully the last 3 or 4 passes, so I'm not sure what difficulty
you are having, Luc.
We do sometimes change to digital mode (9600 packet) in order to download

Try hallo sat. HASI-USB
It is also a USB-interface and can be used by sat32PC.
The hallosat interface can be used to following planets too.

The L mode appears to be working quite well. I have not been able to get
into due to my equipment configuration, but the last 2200 utc pass had
about 6 people on it having a round table discussion.

On the previous pass, I only heard ONE short burst of modulation, otherwise it
was a carrier.
The carrier was LOUD.
