Hello all, When HO-68 was at AOS this evening here in Europe I decoded a telemetry line at 19u18 utc before making contacts on the transponder.
PA Output RF Switch Status : PA1 Works (Transponder and Beacon) Transponder Working Status : Beacon and Linear Transponder Transponder Temperature : 25 C Beacon RF Output Power : 0 mW Beacon Power Supply Volts : 5 V Receiver Power Supply Curr : 250 mA Linear Transponder ACG Volts : 3,2 V Transponder RF Output Power : 1638 mW Transponder PA Curr : 540 mA Linear Transponder Up Conv : 242 mA Linear Transponder Volts : 5 V FM Dig S/F Transponder Curr : 0 mA FM Dig S/F Transponder Volts : 0 V It's strange that the power output of the beacon is 0 mW. I did receive it, so it must be more than 0. 73, Eric -- ON4HF. -- Eric Knaps Waterstraat 30 B-3980 Tessenderlo Belgium Tel. +32472985876 (mobile) http://www.on4hf.be _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
