I was not aware of these little pcb coax relays. I think one could
make a neat CP reversal switch using them on a pcb that could handle
normal satellite RF levels (100w) at a reasonable cost. Much better
than what is used on KLM CP antennas.
One could make switching preamps using two of them
Hi Robert,
Uplink is 145.880 and downlink is 435.150. Close, but no cigar!

Nothing heard from AO-51 on 145.150 up, 435.880 down
(hope those are the right freqs). AO-51 was coming out of eclipse
having crossed over the south pacific. High pass.

robert,
They sold out again, no surprise there.
For the fun of it, I checked out ebay and noticed there are two fun cube
dongles posted.
Personally I am going to wait to grab one from the source but I figured
someone out there may be interested.

I'm glad you shared this all here Mark, I have a 2M Landwehr that's been
cranking along since 1993 or so, I've never looked inside but this thread
is something I'll keep in case it gets flaky on me.

Both AO-27 and SO-50 have been on.

Hi All,
What's everyone using for computer to rotator interfaces these days ?
I have the old KR400/500 rotator units to control that I was using
ARSWIN for but since I upgraded to 64 bit XP that no longer works and
there doesn't appear to be a software upgrade :(
So... I either have to build

I'm starting to think I may have had a fantasy about rotor control...I have

directly by the SAT program in HRD without any other interface except the
controller that comes with the Kenpro. Is that not so? (I

Why bother paying the ebay price? Buy one from the source and it shows up at
the door in a couple days, and the supply seems to be getting better

Everyone,
What is a normal setup, there is an interface unit that goes in-between the
computer and the rotor control. I have a Yaesu G5400 that has the DIN plug
in the rear that directly connects to the LVB Tracker box that I purchased
from AMSAT (a fundraiser for them and available for sale on
SO-67 was on at 0125z 3June2011. Quite
a surprise since no mention of it on
http://www.amsatsa.org.za/ Quite strong
as usual.

Unless someone has set up a strange repeater there is absolutely
no doubt AO51 was alive and well as she came out of eclipse moments ago.
I was able to hear myself perfectly on the downlink (145.880 up and
435.150 down). Unfortunately, the footprint from here only touched the
west coast.
Somebody forgot to plug in the right coax again, who might have that been, I am
blaming KF1BUZ
No wonder I cant hear!

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. This expression is a perfect fit for
SO-67's schedule over North America. Because it's not always available, I
feel it's a real treat when it's activated for us. I check the SA AMSAT
website often for schedule updates. http://www.amsatsa.org.za/
I'm grateful

Kevin,
Hawaii is possible but passes on AO-51 need to be close to the 1/2 way point
between the west coast and Hawaii.
Last September my wife I went to Oahu and I operated from the entrance to
Diamond Head. I was able
to make a contact with Glenn, AA5PK, in Texas from there. We figured that
AO-51 solid signals in ZL. AOS (0459 UT) about five minutes after it came
out of eclipse.
