Hi Patrick!
For most FM satellite work, the S-meter is an amusement at
most. You're working based on what you hear, since the
downlinks are generally weak. If you hear the ISS, the S-meter
may be pegged due to that downlink's strength.
Again, this is an area in which I was spoiled by the G71A.
The meter for elevation on the Yaesu 5500 is not working. Any idea what might
be wrong? Are there places to have them fixed if I can't shoot the bug? Thanks.

Hi,
Reminder - I will be at the EN90/EM99 grid boundary tomorrow for the
following passes:
AO271952z21* (west)
AO512011z20* (east)
AO512149z47* (west)
I will be operating from the same spot I did last time.
You can track me via APRS here - http://aprs.fi/kd8ksn-9 The
Bill,
Start by checking the connections in the shack at the controller. If they
are good, then disconnect lines 1, 2, and 3 on the elevation side and check
the _cables_ with an ohm meter. You should read 500 ohms between 1 and 3,
and something intermediate between 1 and 2, and between 2 and 3.
Bill,
Alan seems to have covered all the troubleshooting areas for this rotor-
Simple system.
From what I have seen here on the BB, It is a toss up between poor
connections and Pot probs.
Good luck...

Hi!
I just noticed this change when reading through the LOTW FAQ page:
https://p1k.arrl.org/lotw/faq
SO-67 is now listed as a satellite supported in LOTW. I also saw
that there is a new TQSL configuration file as of yesterday (27th)
available for download. To get the new configuration file,
any send doppler.sqf file with all satellite add
need cubesat amateur new-sat
Tnx

Alan,
I did all of the swaps and checks and eliminated several possibilities.
Rotors seemed OK, cables OK. Took control cover off and checked a few
voltages, wiggled a few things. Put it back together and it works. Must be a
loose ground or connection somewhere. Seems to be working fine now.
To T/S the meter, swap the elevation wires with the azimuth wires and
see if the problem follows the swap. I hope you did not do what I did:
The contacts for the motor wires lay down onto the mete wires
applying 26v to the meter ckt. Taking the control unit apart doesn't
look fun.
73, Ed -
Just trying to be ahead of the curve here. Is the ARRL gone to
place ARISSAT on the list of sats for VUCC (if not, hint hint please
please) And if so, what do we call it for the 5 character spacing that
is required? (ARSAT?)
Just asking :) Tom K8TB

Has anyone complained to the arrl over the .20 cents fee for grids? and if so
have you heard back from anyone there?

Hi!
I just finished uploading my SO-67 QSOs to LOTW. It works as I
expected, after downloading and installing the new TQSL configuration
file I referenced in my -BB post this morning. The TQSL program has
not changed from the current version (1.13), but the TQSL configuration

In the discussion of two vs one - I found a new way of screwing things up
today. I was trying to operate via AO-51 this afternoon
and was never making it into the bird even though I was receiving fine. Turns
out I still had the 440 side of the IC-W32A selected
