In the scheme of things, will AO-51 be in L/U voice mode anytime soon? If so has those UP and Down link frequencies changed? Thanks, LOUIS, KD5GM in EL29kq CW, The original digital mode AMSAT #37061: FIST #3606 ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

I agree totally! about 90% of my VO-52 passes have no one on the band. 52 is good and strong nearly all of the time, sometimes even as low as -2 degrees at aos/los. 72 louis kd5gm CW, the original digital Message: 1 Date: Tue, 22 Feb 2011 08:42:24 -0500 From: Bill Gillenwater

Hi Bill, I am using the LVB tracker with the G-5500 and controlling them with the SatPC-32 software. My experience with this system has been very pleasing, straight forward and plug play. The documentation for the LVB is excellent and the same is true for SatPC-32. Setting the calibration

2011-01-16 Thread Louis House, KD5GM
I have discovered a pulsating tone (about 600 HZ) in my 910H receiver when I am tuned to 145.900 MHz (working the Linear birds VO-52 etc). The tone stops when I power off the G-5500/LVB tracker. All equipment is grounded and ferrite core filters are on all of the cables to solve this problem.

I have a 2 meter cross polarized yagi array. Not sure of the make, possibly a Cushcraft. The driven elements are folded dipoles and the measured SWR is currently 1.5:1 (most resonant) at the uplink frequencies for the birds. Since there is no mechanical matching device, how does one tune for

Running SatPC32 here and am wondering how to configure the SQF files to drive the IC910H for the ISS. Since most of the ISS frequencies are 2M/2M (up and down links), will the software control for this V/V mode or does one have to do the manual operation for the ISS? Thanks LOUIS, KD5GM CW,
