Hi All,
This morning we have confirmed that the software on AO-51 has crashed. I was
able to get it turned ON (and then back off), so we aren't lost in space.
Software reloading should commence this afternoon. Expect this to take a few
days, given that it's a gradual process and a work
Keep in mind that the G5400B elevation comes in two different flavors.
This is important if you have to order parts. For example, the older
unit uses a light weight motor and costs about $80. The newer version
like I have costs almost $250.00 for the motor which is heavier duty.
YOu have
If I'm not mistaken, Enzo did a bunch of wire swapping and now it is working
correctly. Seems like it was a connection issue.

Thanks to the hard work of the folks at Sunspace and AMSAT-SA, it looks
like SO-67 will be back on this week. I have sent them the following
schedule for North and South America, although sometimes not all the
passes are possible. Take advantage of this satellite while we reload AO-51!
73,
Having the FT-847 since early 1998 and observing the IC-910 I would
recommend both over the TS-2000 or new IC-9100 on basis of bucks
spent. I realize both the 847 and 910 are out of production but good
used units are available for $900.
The TS-2000 birdie issue is unforgivable for the money
Just a reminder that the cutoff date for the AMSAT-TAPR dinner at Dayton is
May 16th. You can register at the AMSAT website. We will NOT be selling
tickets at the booth.
See you soon - 73, Martha

Just went over and was working beautiful as usual, the always strong signal was
dying for voices of humans that were no were to be foundHo humm, you would
think with the 51 down people would be all over the 67...
Well I look forward to working people new and old, have not heard N8RO
Hi Everyone,
The trip to Death Valley went well! We travelled from home (grid CM88
west of Sacramento) east by Lake Tahoe and then south down the east

I can tell already this is an old thread that will go on for a while…
Money is almost never “not an issue,” so fitting the radio to the user is
always a matter of preferences and priorities. If you want HF + satellite in
one rig, the TS-2000 and the FT-847 work, but not the IC-910. If you
The Icom 9100 isn't overpriced at all considering all it does. If all you
want to use it for is the satellites, there are cheaper alternatives.
However, it also does true dual receive on HF (something the Yaesu FTDX5000
and Icom 7600 don't do), it has the roofing filter options for increased
Sorry, in this time of my life, retired now, it is so far out of reach -

My set up for HF and Satellite use with my monies into antenna systems and

Hello,
When SO-67 isn't operating in amateur mode is it on a different frequency. If
so, what frequency is it and what modulation scheme is used?

Hello Everyone,
Here is some information for those of you within LEO range of the Marianas
Islands. This appeared in the DXNL 1726 - May 4, 2011 DX Newsletter ... a
free and weekly service of DARC Committee DX and HF contesting
(http://www.darcdxhf.de).

Neat!
As I understand it, the JA's do not use Mode B on AO-7 because of a
perceived issue with the uplink being outside of the post-launch
satellite bands. However, Yoshi would be legal to use Mode B on AO-7
under his KH0 call as I see it. Our FCC waiver for AO-7 Mode B is still
in effect.
Hi Werner, HB9BNK
I have seen your measurement on spectrum analyser with and without the
passband cavity filter but the result is not satisfactory because you need
to add a notch cavity filter tuned to suck the - 20 dBm offending POCSAG
signal at 147.300 MHz
By the way you can solve the problem
Ed,
I have not done it yet, but the parts are in the shack:
I will be installing two buffer IF amps on the IC-910H. These
will feed my SDR-IQ (main and sub rx) . This was my original thought.
However, I also ordered a FM filter for my K3, and I will simply have
the K3 monitor the
Hi Werner, HB9BNK
In addition to my previous message I found that KVG in
Germany make Frontend crystal filters upon customer
specification in the range 100 to 200 MHz. The only problem
is that they are large and flat only +/- 7 KHz (14 KHz total)
and the insertion loss is 7 dB

Sorry.

This has been done to a certain degree by
eme'rs. The K3 is a dual down-conversion radio
with a 15-KHz SDR at the second IF (first
IF=8.215 MHz). The K3 sub-RX is an exact
duplicate of the main Rx which makes it the only
commercially made radio that can be used for
dual-channel
I'll try to work the 2045Z pass this evening from DN40.

It would be interesting to include the new generation SDR's, (FLEX RADIO's,)
in comparison to the radio's mentioned. Just a thought. Commends anyone?
