Hi All,
Just a quick clarification needed by me on the Telemetry format that is
going to be used by ARISSat-1 and Funcube ( I guess the Funcube boards
onboard UKube-1...)
Lots of places are referring to it as BPSK1000, but I have seen
references claiming it is DBPSK. Can someone clarify if it is
Hi,
Getting ready for ARISSat-1 and need a new soundcard.
The PC is an old HP dx 6050 2.08Ghz with windows XP pro.
Any recomendadations for a low cost soundcard for digi modes.
Don't do any gamimg or activities that need high performance card.
Just for radio purposes.
Any advice appreciated.
I think I have a rough understanding of it now ;-) It sounds like the
iGate is the issue.
Thanks for the help!

Hello to the group -
My recorder battery died during a pass of AO-51 yesterday (2/5/2011) I think
the pass was approximately 18:53 UTC - it was a mainly east coast pass. I
made a contact with WP3T, I believe, which is why I rely so much on my
recorder. Many of you know how bad I mess up calls
Hello John,
Obviously we need to test it to be sure, but you should be good to go.
The main development platform is Win XP. I am using an XP laptop and the
software is working fine.

Hi, John
HP lists your PC as having available PCI slots.
Any Sound Blaster card from Creative labs would be a good choice.

Now in My MIND
this was not a valid QSO,, the information was NOT all done on the
radio, never mind he had the call wrong.
BUT even if he did work WP3T,
he did not know he did it
it took YOU and YOUR station to let him know it. so even if the call he
thought he copied was right I would

Hi All,
You guys are making me all teary-eyed! I loved that bird, especially for
all the challenges it presented.

Hi Joe and Group,
I would have to say that if Michael's (K4MOA) QSO was not confirmed based
upon remembering the call sign, 95% of the QSOs in my log are not confirmed.
Many of us use recorders because of the obvious reason - we have one hand to
hold the Arrow, Elk or tripod, and the other
I just acquired an ICOM IC-821H as I plan to build a satellite capable
station. I cannot get HRD to tune both uplink and downlink. Seems the CAT
commands in the ICOM don't exist or are not supported.
Am I stuck turning the dial manually on this radio, or is there another
program that can tune
I don't think the issue is whether or not you use a recorder, packet/psk31/rtty
ops are not penalised because they have
a computer record of the contact by virtue of the technology used for that
mode. If a voice recorder is part of your
shack, that's fine.
The issue is having to ask others if

WiSP DDE by CX6DD supports IC821. What about IC821H? Try it ...

Hi Ed and Nigel,
I agree this is reasonable as well. I don’t see an issue with using someone
else's recordings because your batteries died, as long as you heard the QSO,
repeated the other station's call back, etc., as I said in my original
email. If you aren't for sure if the station came
Paul,
Give SATPC32 a look. It supports the rig, and should do a very good job for
you. You can download a trial version to verify it does what you want.

when did using someone elses station, be a valid qso for YOUR own station?

I have installed (as administrator) SatPC32 under Windows 7 64bit and have
selected the Model, Baudrate and Addresses. For some reason it does not tune
the radio. I can see that the COM port for the CI-V interface is busy while
SatPC32 is running, but its not tuning the radio. The

Neither Nigel or I said that. Burden of proof of
contact lies with the stations making the
contact. Use of a recorder is OK (what I said),
but relying on others to log your contact is
not. The farthest one can stretch that is if the
