Hello Ib,
I agree with you.
This is what I have in my Doppler.sqf file for SatPC32:
SO-50,436790,145850,FM,FM,NOR,0,0

and in my SubTone.sqf:
SO-50,67.0,$3F,1

This is for the Yaesu FT-847.

The AMSAT new starters page at

is a valuable resource but it seems to be all about FM sats, there's little
showing newcomers how to use the Linear Transponder SSB/CW sats.
Why is this, well clearly because no-one, myself included, can be

Great news. Unfortunately it actually specifies _commercial_

I'm sure you know this, but for those who haven't seen it the Fox-1 web

Just FYI, I've posted a detailed description of how to set up a

The station consists of twin Yaesu FT-817ND radios and an Elk antenna,

Someone asked the question about which satellite projects to support with
donation dollars. Given my $$ investment in my satellite station, I would
also like to step up my donations to support new transponder-based sats.

Hi Ib,
Thanks for the information.
One thing I would like to add to the people that use HRD and a FT-847.
I tryed many times to work SO-50 but I am unable to do this with HRD.
When I want to make a QSO via SO-50 I allways have to use SatPC32.
I haven't figured out why CTCSS and HRD isn't
Hi Michael,
If i may, can I point out that the FUNcube project is on track to provide
two linear U/V transponders in low earth orbit from two cubesats quite soon
now.
These transponders will have a dual purpose - educational outreach to
encourage school children to become interested in STEM

Next one ready to launch will probably be the AMSAT-UK 1U cubesat 'Funcube'

Local to you will be Fox-1. Lets hope it qualifies for launch funding from an
educational grant.
Sadly the standard launch costs for P3E look to be impossible to fund, so we

Wow, I am taken aback by the magnitude of anger and animosity on the lists.
When did a hobby supposed to foster friendly, amateur communication become
such a serious topic in people lives? I personally disagree with this
viewpoint, but it's not important to me that I am willing to insult someone
