Frank, I just cruised by the SATPC32 web site and find that there is a patch for the IC-9100 on the download page. According to the explanation, this version will not work with the IC-910, though a full version is on the way. Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From:

I am not sure if there is a formal alliance 'tween AMSAT, the AO-51 control team, and this Web site ... http://oscar.dcarr.org/ ... but it sure would seem helpful if all signal reports for AO-51 were entered there! Clint, K6LCS ___ Sent via

Hi John, yes was active in that pass, but was working in QRP Frequencies, Up 145.880 Dn 435.150. Was strange because I was trying to hear the activity of ground stations and Ups, several stations were there including N8MH. But looks like was too soon to celebrate, in the followed pass

We've been turning the satellite on, and off, manually on passes over North America when a command station is available. This has generally been the afternoon passes, and only on an as-available basis. Uplink is 145.880, Downlink 435.150. 73, Drew KO4MA -Original Message- From:

Unless the IC-9100 comes down in price about $2,000, I don't care if it will work with SATPC32. I am not getting rid of my IC-910's unless someone drops an IC-9100 in my lap. 73, Dee, NB2F -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] On Behalf

I think the Chinese radios will come out with a Satellite Radio- ALL Mode DC to Daylight for about $750. Something like this popular dual band (Woxan?) that I have seen and heard about that many hams are buying up like candy lately. Just heard one new one on the air in the last hour. See all the

One could always buy an 857D and an 817 to get full-duplex all mode. Yaesu should offer the two as a package and call it the 1674 :-) On Fri, May 13, 2011 at 2:44 PM, Dee morse...@optonline.net wrote: I think the Chinese radios will come out with a Satellite Radio- ALL Mode DC to Daylight for

W5IU does very well with the FT-1634. (Two FT-817s.) Standing room only at Dayton. Of course being set up in a parking lot may have something to do with that. ;) Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From: justin.pin...@gmail.com [mailto:justin.pin...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Justin

I could be wrong, but I suspect a couple of things: 1. The fact that your downlink antenna is always vertically polarized rather than steered to the polarization of the satellite. 2. The position of the antenna on your vehicle could also have a huge affect as well as the orientation of the
