Unfortunately, 70cm UHF doesn't lend itself to unattended SatGate operations like 2m VHF does. I tried catching the ISS on UHF and only managed to hear, but not decode, one packet burst. I can't imagine anything short of a full satellite station with automatic azimuth/elevation control would

Hi Bob, I could easily set up an Igate, but every time I've looked into it I've been turned off by the complexity of the software setup. Is there a one program, easy to configure solution? Audio in would be best, but tnc decode is ok as well. 73, Drew KO4MA Sent from my iPhone On Jul 10,

Hi all, Here's my plan. There will be two stations, one in Lima and one mobile (me). As I'll be within 250 miles of Lima, Peru, If I beacon the ISS near apogee, the unattended ground station in Lima SHOULD capture it, provided it is set to the center frequency. The tnc's will be byonics tt4's.

The easiest software I've seen to set up for iGating is APRSIS/32 (Lynn's software). iGate is enabled by default, and you just need to tell it what port to use for the radio (external KISS TNC is easiest) and what server on the Internet side. Done. Greg KO6TH Andrew Glasbrenner wrote: Hi
