[amsat-bb] Re: Satpc32
I have checked to observer 2. It is set same as 1. It's weird because all are equally off in timing about 20 minutes early I may change me local clock to see exactly how far off it is. Bit still need it to work proper.

System clock is accurate and reads the same as the software. Kep data is fresh. My location is loaded accurately. Has anyone experienced this before or have any ideas what may be wrong?

[amsat-bb] Antenna Question
Hello All, Just a quick Question. Quadrifilar Helix or Eggbeater? All other options considered, which would you chose? Thanks! Steve KI6OQU ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: DJ-G7T programming cable question
Cheers to you David! You just talked me out of unsubscribing to this BB. I'm licensed 2 years and still trying to figure out what the question is, let alone the answer. Steve.

If this reflector, which lets face it is concerned with some fairly high level stuff in comparison to normal ham radio operations), is going to go the way of responding to a perfectly reasonable question with the reply of read the **g manual, then newcomers and interested observers are going to beat a hasty retreat thinking that AMSAT is elitist. We must not be seen to be typical of the 'those that know' wanting to protect their playground mentality. I have asked some downright stupidly basic questions on here over the years and have always been responded to with friendliness and professionalism even though I have often had a mental picture of my helpers banging their heads against a wall in frustration. But on the back of that I have been able to help with other people's issues where the same question has arisen. If questions offend then use a combination of filters and the delete key. My 2 peso's worth. David KG4ZLB Justin Pinnix wrote: Well, there's a guy on eHam who responds to every question with that's a stupid question or go look it up. That just doubles the amount of noise :-) I'm all for experimenting as well, but randomly plugging unknown devices together is a good way to blow something up. What if the programming cable is putting out +-12v (EIA RS-232) but the radio only wants to see +5 (CMOS/TTL)? 73 de AJ4MJ On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 4:18 PM, Nigel Gunn G8IFF/W8IFF ni...@ngunn.netwrote: ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Attack rotor.
Hey everyone, I have decided to take some great advice and mount my Elk on a rotor in the attack. I have been told 30 degrees is good, but how do i orient it to be the most reliable? When i work the Elk by hand, i keep turning it to keep a good signal. I think you all know what im asking.. Any advise would be appreciated 73! Steve, KI6OQU. ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: eggbeater rx performance
Hey Eric, I aggree with the comments on the hand held antenna. I use the Elk exclusively at this point but would like to find a base antenna option. I cannot use beams of rotored antennas as I just don't have the real estate. I have met folks on this board who totaly believe in eggbeaters, but I cannot afford to buy one only to learn that it didn't meet expectations. I have been building some, but haven't quite worked it out yet. I have built a turnstyle for 440 with an AAR preamp. It isn't great, but it shows some promise. I will follow this thread and hope we both find our solutions 73! Steve.

Uplink seems not to be a problem as one can always QRO to a level where the satellite sees an apropriate signal level that is enough but without robing power from other transponder users. On recieve though you still gotta be able to hear 'em to work 'em. Is an eggbeater and a preamp enough to hear decently or is there another (better) way? Is working mobile and/or without directional antennas even practical? what's the best way to do it? Thanks, Eric AF6EP ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
