Thanks to all who answered my newbie question involving how to change the transmitted PL tone for SO-50. I got several great responses, including at least one person who sent me their edited file for my use. The amateur spirit is alive, well, and living on the birds! I've got a similar

Lee, Look in the DOPPLER.SQF file where you specify frequencies, modes, etc. You have the option of FM, or FMN for FM-Narrow. I used a Yaesu which also has a FMN mode, and it worked fine. You can select it for uplink, downlink or both. There are detailed notes at the bottom of the file on

Uauu Eric, this setup is very similar to mine. I've found that the vpa system antenna works well, the only complain is that it's very robust but at the same time a little bit heavy. So hear you soon on the satellite, hoping more birds in the future. 73 de in3aqk On Sat, Sep 7, 2013 at 1:59 PM,

Thanks to all who've addressed this question too. Changed the DOPPLER.SQF file just before the 18:30 pass, and it worked fine. All the help is certainly appreciated by this new satellite operator. I'm up to 71 grids worked now, and hoping for more. My latest foray is into the exciting world

2013-09-08 Thread Andrew Glasbrenner
I have business tomorrow afternoon in Panama City, so if there is interest I will be in EL79 from approximately 1400Z to 1700Z, and probably again in the evening. Look for me, most likely on SO-50 and FO-29, if you need the grid. On FO-29 I will be 20-30 Khz above the middle. Next week puts me

[amsat-bb] Best Full Duplex Mobile FM Rig for Satellite Work?

2013-09-08 Thread Les Rayburn
Even though we have only one FM bird active at the moment (two if you could ISS), I'd still like to get a good performing FM duplex transceiver for the truck, along with a good magnet mount antenna to use while in motion. My reasons for this are many but briefly: 1.) Can't invest in a full

Wow, they use to cost 35$ for the high-end version (the one with built-in ethernet). I guess a lot happens in a year :-) For the price, I would suggest looking into the BeagleBone to see if it meets your needs. Joe On Sun, Sep 8, 2013 at 3:34 PM, Bruce kk...@arrl.net wrote: i remember an
