VX-7R owners - to work the FM satellites, are you just programming split
freqs into single memory channels (per page 46-ish of the manual)?
Or is there a more esoteric method?
I have owned a VX-7R since the week they were released ... but have neglected
it far too long ...

Some information for you.

Hi to the list,
i would like to know if BEESAT is active and what I need to decode it.
Just now I had a good pass and could hear on 436.000 MHz a burst of about 1
or
2 seconds long. I heard about 5 or 6 continually then quite, then after a
while again the same as above.
It was like the squelch
Hi to the list,
reading on the amsat web as the status of AO-51 i can read:
By command only:
9k6 Baud Telemetry
Downlink: 435.150 MHz FM at 9600 baud
What does it mean?
Should we have to activate it?
If yes how?
Thanks in advance

Hello Enzo,
I am sorry this wasn't clear. It means that only command stations
wiill be turning it ON and OFF as needed to collect telemetry; it is
not open for general use.
Thanks,

There must be a better way (than the way I am currently doing it) -
to find out
when the following two parameters are true:
1. HO-68 is ON
2. HO-68 is visible from my QTH (allowing for some minimum radio horizon)
Is there some tool out there?

As for the NDA, ask the vendor what is and is not acceptable. I'd approach
this as it going to a bunch of engineers (there's a lot out there) that might
also be interested in their chips. Not having access to the firmware is a

Clint,
I use the Yaesu VX-7R for FM satellites, alone with no other radios, set up
on my qrz.com page. (I have added a 9 volt, pre-amp at my receive point on
my Arrow antenna)I program one memory channel, for the split freqs as
you said but then I use the memory tune function to work the FM

Hello Gordon
Thank you for your comments.
In case you didn't know it, the original manufacturers for the FCD pulled
out one day _after_ they were due to deliver to me. That has meant that
rather than having time to fully document the API and provide a full
interface, I have had to build the

Can someone please explain to me how the IF is usefull ?
Does the radio become narrow band after the IF stages ?
What determines the radio IF bandwdith ?
Say my ICOM 706 can RX 430 - 450 MHZ, does that imply the whole 20 MHz is
there centered on 10.7 MHz ?

For info, I have tested the FCD running on a 20m USB cable. I believe it
might make 30m. That is the maximum you can do. This is achieved by using
active extenders. In my 20m test, I used three 5m active extenders and a 5m
passive extension.
Active extenders are nothing more than one port
What we need is an Ethernet interface to USB that uses POE. This
has got to be out there already.
I would put quite a few of these in remote locations for monitoring
a whole lot of things.

What tracking program are you running? I know in the Rotor Setup of
SatPC32 there are parameters that you can adjust that will 'smooth out'
a lot of the start/stop jerkiness. You can command the rotor to move at
specified time intervals, or when the tracked object changes position by
an adjustable
What you need for that is a version that uses a PIC32MX7xx (easy port if there
was source available and no NDA) that has a built in Ethernet controller (needs
external PHY but that's not a big deal). Then the PIC32 could either decode
narrowband and send audio back, or more likely I/Q over
He could go with a 10.7 MHz fixed IF Softrock for about $30 (with the special
crystal) instead of $175 for the FCD and maybe have a chance at getting one
sooner than later if he really wanted to use it with the ICOM.
A soundcard is needed for a softrock, but I have used a $50 USB one in the
29 matches
