2010-06-15 Thread David Giles
Hello All, I've just acquired a TS-811 but alas it does not have the IF-10A computer interface. I've downloaded the manual and have all the chips, eprom programmer, spare eproms etc. to build my own. What I don't have is the contents of the 2732 extension eprom. If anyone has a hexdump of

[amsat-bb] ICOM 471A Output N Connector replacement

2010-06-15 Thread mike casey
Has anyone replaced the female N connector on the IC 471A, 25 watt tranceiver PA module? It seems as if the heat sink is trapped between the N connector barrel and the PA circuit board. Unless the connector barrel pulls off of the pin, I see no way of removing it, or the circuit board to get at

Hi Drew, The point of my email was to suggest that based on my observations, and knowledge of operations down under, the fact that AO-51 is sometimes on in eclipse may not necessarily be caused by bad operators. There seems to be evidence to indicate that the transponder can be triggered for
