[amsat-bb] DUO FT8xx Satellite Controller project

Hi all, I like to share a project I recently made for my 2 FT-817's (which is compatible with the FT-857 en 897 too). This controller connected to both radio's, (can be 2 different 8xx's too), will make a full satellite rig. It has pre programmed satellites with their frequencies and modes.

Re: [amsat-bb] AO-7 Report

Rick, It's not you. It's been switching off (or into Mode D) quite often. Hopefully this is just a temporary condition due to sun angles at this point in it's orbit. 73, Paul, N8HM On Fri, May 30, 2014 at 5:29 PM, Richard Lawn rjl...@gmail.com wrote: Was just about to enjoy a CW QSO with

Re: [amsat-bb] AO-7 Report

WC7V confirmed to me that AO-7 was in Mode A after the Mode B transponder shut off. This likely means that my theory of a power drain causing the satellite to automatically switch into Mode D is incorrect and this is just a manifestation of the random mode switching that has been a part of AO-7's
