[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 CW and BPSK-1000 telemetry heard over Vietnam

Hello everyone, This morning I had a good pass of ARISSat-1 over Hanoi, Vietnam and decoded its BPSK-1000 for the first time. According to ARISSatTLM, more than 30 frames were sent to the server out of more than 60 decoded. Manually tuning the CW signal to keep it within range is fun and it was

Hi Giulio, AB2VY Edusat is a Non amateur satellite ? ..OK ,but it has received an experimental license on 435.750 MHz for communicating at no cost into the Satellite Amateur Frequencies without coordination from IARU..OK ? It is very strange that Edusat has received an experimental licence

Is anyone using SatPC32 with a Kenwood TS-2000? If so, what is your Doppler.SQF entry for the transponder. I can not seem to get it to go into Duplex (Satellite) mode. It goes into Split and, of course, I can not hear the downlink. 73 -- *Carl W8KRF*

[amsat-bb] Has the ARISSat-1 CW-2 frequency shifted?

2011-08-31 Thread Ronald G. Parsons
A couple days ago, I noticed that to get a 500 Hz signal for CW-2 (nominally 145.9190 MHz) to decode the BPSK-1000 signal, I had to change the unDoppler-shifted frequency on my USB receiver from 145.918500 MHz to 145.918280 MHz, a change of 220 Hz. This new value have been consistent over a

Ron, I have been catching a couple of passes a day for TLM since deployment. After the initial tweaks, is has been consistently within +/ 20 Hz of the predicted value. I haven't seen a large jump, though I did tweak it down 20 Hz yesterday to refine my initial values. 73s, Alan WA4SCA

All, ARISSatTLM only uses the 48 kHz sampling rate on soundcards, so that's the only rate your card needs to be able to run at for ARISSatTLM. Douglas KA2UPW/5 James McBride wrote: Randy, Make sure you have any audio or DSP filters switched off, IF shift to centre etc. I found the 'tone'
