Well you are in for some exciting times --
I think John' Papay's(K8YSE) site == http://www.papays.com/sat/general.html
is a great resource. He records most of the passes.
You can listen to the passes and get a good sense of the cadence of

I have multiple sound cards as well --
It appears the program uses the default audio devices.
I had to designate (using the OS) my radio connected sound
as the default device.
This might be a nice enhancement for the next release of the software.

Hello Mike -
I use schedule 40 PVC with an OAK closet pole down the center for
added stiffness
for a horizontal boom.
For vertical mast I use two PVC schedule 40 - one inside the other -
along with a wood pole.
I use PVC end caps on the ends to keep water/ moisture out.

in AM mode it just sounds like a constant tone --
The signal strength is not constant - and peaks about every 10 seconds - -
A new radar perhaps?
I was running for some time yesterday

Thanks for running that down.
And you are exactly right - I could not get seem to get a signal strength peak

I have strong signals S9+30+ going into the telemetry dump -- and
then it appears to be dead after it finishes.

I see that the schedule calls for it to be in PBBS mode -- but is it really?
I was seeing all the telemetry frames --
but no PECHO-11, PECHO-12 ..

Thanks for the reminder -
I forgot about the 74.4Hz turn on tone -
I had a quite pass last night -- I was hesitant to transmit until
I heard somebody on the downlink. Then I tried a test call (with
the 67hz on) - and
did not hear my downlink -- adding to the puzzle.

Are there some conventions / governance we should be observing when
this bird is in this mode?
Should there really be three mode designations in the schedule?

* FM (voice only)
* FM/PACSAT - (packet only)
FM birds require good operator discipline - but mixed in

It does a nice job visualizing the various measurements collected in

Great job Mike!

I have had one for about 1 1/2 years - on the 70cm antenna.
When the GO-32 9K6 BBS board was up it made the difference between
reliably receiving and not.

I know S meter readings are all relative -- I usually see at least

Is the BBS call sign still PECHO-12?
