maritime channels ?

All emissions on those channels are FM.

Thanks Dave, is it via some sort of data burst?

I use a docking station that allows you to drop a SATA drive into it,
and it acts just like another hard drive on the system. it plugs into
the computer via a USB line, and has an external power supply to get
the +5 and +12 to spin the drive. This model of dock also has memory
card slots and 2 additional USB ports for memory sticks. 

I use it to reformat and image drives at work, and to read the memory
cards of the different cameras that everyone uses. 

Most of our tech staff has portable drives made from laptop drives put
into an external USB enclosure. Not the cheap way to go, but it was
more cost efficient at the time.

Thanks Dave, they must be popular... they are out of stock of the $59.00
model I am interested in.

 Addonics makes a product that lets you convert any IDE drive into an
 external USB drive. Access via USB is significantly slower than native IDE
 access, but you can connect to any PC with a USB interface; perhaps they
 have a USB 2.0 version by now:

 While converters like these are somewhat slow, they allow you to connect
 a drive up to a running PC -- eliminating the need to power it down, open
 its chassis, and make the IDE or SATA connection -- which can be difficult
 in a smaller chassis stuffed with cables.

They are not normal FM transmissions. AIS uses an emission designator of 
16K0FD. More specifically, a 9.6kbps GMSK FM modulation using HDLC packet 
protocols.

Almost everything you need to know is right here:

[digitalradio] New FX.25 Protocol - Amateur Radio Satellite Experiment

2009-07-29 Thread Trevor .

ANDE due for deployment from the Space Shuttle tomorrow will experiment with 
the FX.25 protocol. 

Based on the 1980's AX.25 standard the new FX.25 features forward error 
correction. 

ANDE FX.25 Protocol Experiment
https://goby.nrl.navy.mil/ANDE/Amateur_Radio.html 

Four Amateur Radio satellites are to be deployed from the Space Shuttle mission 
STS-127 on Thursday July 30

The satellites are ANDE Castor, ANDE Pollux, BEVO1 and AggieSat2. They will be 
deployed from the space shuttle Endeavour  (STS-127) at 7:27 am CDT via the 
Space Shuttle Picosatellite Launcher (SSPL).

You can follow AggieSat2 on Twitter at http://twitter.com/aggiesat2 

ANDE Castor - 145.825 MHz FM transmits telemetry every 30 seconds
https://goby.nrl.navy.mil/ANDE/Castor.html

ANDE Pollux - 145.825 MHz FM transmits telemetry every 33 seconds
