Bob,
I have a 5400 but have had the same problem. We used to buy them from
Yaesu at a premium. In defense of Yaesu they are not in the parts business...
The good news is! - My experience is they can almost always be
repaired! There is a little wire running to the center of
Perhaps I missed this information earlier someplace else, but reading in the
March/April 2014 AMSAT Journal just received yesterday, I note in Barry Baines
column, Apogee View, that the launch date for the ELaNa-12 group of satellites,
which includes Fox-1, has been re-scheduled from
I did some testing last night. To be clear, I have a FT-847
that has single direction CAT.
Rigs with serial numbers later than 8G05 have
bi-directional, rigs younger are likely
to have single (Yaesu did go back and offer uProc
replacements for a time, so if a rig is
older, it may still do
Hi Nick,
You did not miss anything, the information you read in the Journal is as
new to you as it is to us. It was learned at the time Barry was writing
his Apogee View in March but due to Tony's illness and passing the
Journal issue was delayed a week or two in order to include the
Will there be a video available on the AMSAT forum after Dayton?

Hi Nick,

My thoughts regarding the two launch possibilities:
I hope that, if given the choice, that AMSAT sticks with ELaNa-12. The
11 year orbit and 780 km apogee is much better than an apogee in the
600 km range and a 6.5 year orbital life. Given that Fox-1 is the
first amateur satellite designed for

As you know, manual Doppler correction is going to be a quite a bit
different than on AO-40, but still relatively simple with practice.
Always adjust the higher of the two frequencies and leave the lower
frequency fixed as far as possible (slight corrections may be needed
at times, of
I've been working on a very large antenna project. To day I will solder my last
two connector's. Then a little preflight inspection. I hope this works I've
been working on the on and off all winter.
If the antennas work it's off to my transverters and flex radios putting them
on the birds.
Given that Fox-1 is the first amateur satellite designed for it's batteries
to eventually die,
we should give it the opportunity!
I know I'm being picky here but it's the first FM voice CubeSat to be designed
for operation after battery failure. DO-64 (Delfi-C3) has always been operating
One hard and fast rule in the space launch industry:
Everyone remembers a launch failure, no one will remember a launch delay.
Delays suck, it's a hell of a lot better than blowing up. The launch
industry is largely binary, you either fully succeed or fail. This is at
least the perspective of
Hi Paul,
From the Fox-1 Team, thanks for the support and well wishes. We're
working hard to fulfill everyone's expectations!
I will have additional information about the launch opportunities, at
the AMSAT forum in Dayton.

Once again I will visit the Texas pandhandle and operate satellites.
I'll be there Monday-Thursday (12-15 May) in DM95 (Amarillo.)
I can do some morning and evening passes from DM94, DM84, and DM85 all
of which are nearby. Grid lines are very easy in this area and I've
done several of them
