[amsat-bb] Listening to Funcube with RTL-SDR
All, I posted an inexpensive way to listen and decode the Funcube telemetry with the cheap RTL-SDR dongle. This can apply to almost any satellite too. What makes this setup unique is the ability for SDR-Radio (v2) to listen to Wide Upper Side Band and the Funcube dongle to Autotune. Between the two you don't need to worry about doppler correction for telemetry decode. I also have the I/Q file and the audio of the transponder pass from last night on there. I hope you find it useful. It has has been great fun for me! 73 de Jason, N4JTC ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 Telemetry Decoding video
I created a video demonstration of the telemetry decoding session for the 16 August 2011 0034 UTC North American pass. Two frames of both telemetry and the Kursk experiment were decoded. For those that are interested. http://www.n4jtc.com/?p=121 73 Jason N4JTC ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 BPSK Telemetry decoded
I finally successfully decoded the BPSK telemetry!! On a 15 degree Max El pass at that! I wrote up a post that will hopefully help others if they decide to try it. The audio is also available in the post so you can hear what it sounded like during the pass. http://www.n4jtc.com/?p=85 This is a lot of fun! 73 Jason N4JTC ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 Reckless deployment
I second and third that this was a reckless deployment. They even lost a wing nut during the laser communication installation! The tone was oh well, it's gone now. Blog post with video of the final deployment and a few pictures of damage: http://www.n4jtc.com/?p=60 73 N4JTC ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 Audio Live
I will be streaming the 145.920 SSB audio live on Ustream for the North America 0630 UTC Pass. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/arissat-1-audio-from-florida FM and SSB recordings will be available at www.n4jtc.com if the pass was recorded successfully. 73 Jason N4JTC ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
