I have had my SatPC 32 up and running for long time, all modules seem to work
fine except the CAT. It wont take control of the Icom910H and track the
doppler.
When I designate a particular satellite and click on the C for CAT control,
the s/w connects to the radio and the Icom

With the plethora of hand helds available. What are the best ones for
sats. I have used a W32A no longer in production. My grandson has the bug and
I want to aim him in the right direction.

Heard today of a Passive HF relay satellite being proposed.
Wondered if Hams could relay off of it.
It's a 10m diameter sphere.
I assumed a 10m signal and 1000 Watts
And antenna gains at both ends of 10 dB.
Unless I made a dumb error, it looks impossible?
I get a received signal of -170 dBm
First, are you using a real serial port or a USB-to-serial adapter? Second,
have you confirmed that the software and the radio are both set to the same
baud rate and device address? And finally, what CAT delay setting are you
using in SatPC32?
Mine works perfectly with either type of
Reid,
My suggestion is that you start from Predict, an open source satellite
tracking and orbital prediction program:

Hi Reid,
If you want something in C, try predict.If BASIC is more to your
liking, then try G3RUH's plan13 program.
Both come with source code. Predict is GPL. Plan13
Had an absolute blast on field day. AO-7 sounded like a 20M pile up grin.
Even the S band operation on AO-51 was busy. With so many stations on the
satellites should we not have more AMSAT members? Defined as more dues paying
and contributing members. This is rocket science and as I been
... This program will this notify the users
of upcoming passes via APRS messaging.
Better to use OBJECTS so that all of the following shows up on
the front panel of the radio:
Satellite Name
Direction, and Range
Uplink Freq (and doppler)
Downlink Freq and Doppler
Elevation (HIGH or LOW).

Hi guys,
I'm sorry to inform you that we couldn't upload any schedules this
evening. The On Board Computer was off at the beginning of the pass. SO
I had to switch it on and try to stabilize the satellite. I'll keep on
monitoring the satellite state
We had a Blast also during FD! I was one of the ops from our club station
(K4BFT Big Fat Turkey) and worked many of you. I think AO-51 sounded more like
ch 19! LOL LOL

Field day was quite amazing down here in Houston too. I was one of the
operators for K5HOU. I had never heard SO-50 with so many people! I tried 3
passes, 2 of which were on SO-50, and we didn't make a single contact, but
we still had a ton of fun trying.

No.
It's an FM satellite, they're always supposed to sound like that.
Hi,
Just moved to a new QTH in southern england and considering new satellite
antennas.
The Cubex 2 and 70 dual band quad Yellow-Jacket 46 looks interesting at
www.cubex.com
Anyone using this antenna on satellites?
Any problems with desense with the two antennas on the same boom?

How about letting us know why there are no casual contacts anymore and
only rehearsed and choreographed public shows.
I read many times about how busy the astronauts are but it is glaringly
apparent they have no interest or are refraining

We managed 21 contacts in all... one on each FM bird and the remainder on
the linear sats. And all in spite of several visits from Mr. Murphy and his
extended family:
We ran N3FJP network logging for the first time, with MS NetMeeting as a
chat client, and either one of them was conflicting

Of course, that one was 10x larger. What makes this a 10m (band) operation? I
expect it would work on the higher bands too, especially with the smaller size.

Everything worked right this year for the Houston MosQRPitos, operating as
W5MSQ near Brookshire, Texas. We were set up for all possible satellite
configurations including Mode S down via AO-51, but I slept through both
passes! However, it was great to find AO-7 and FO-29 in good shape and
