[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 BPSK
Hi folks, Just got my first 1000 BPSK frames of data using the ARISSat-1 Telemetry software. Appreciate most of you on the bb have probably already done it already. I just wanted to say a public thank you for a superb and easy to use piece of software. Looks cool on screen too. Using the CW beacon as a reference to stay on tune is brilliant, worked well, even with manual Doppler tune. Anyone not yet tried it, give it a go. WX4SXM's quick Start Guide will put you on the right track. 73 All off to get a few more frames G7HIA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 BPSK: time to ask for help debugging my system
Time to ask for help ... Somehow my set-up for ARISSat BPSK decoding is not working. My I kindly ask for your suggestions ? Using an FCD HDSDR I record the passes. When I play back I see this freq spectrum. Should such a result (S/N Ratio wise) be enough for the decoder to work ? http://www.pa3guo.com/arissat1_pa3guo_bpsk.jpg Thanks for your suggestions ! (also on your own settings of HDSDR, eg sampling rate etc.) Henk, PA3GUO ___ 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 BPSK Reception Challenge
The signal levels from ARISSat-1 should be similar to those expected from the AMSAT-UK FUNcube-1 satellite (and also from UKube-1) and the AMSAT-UK team are keen to discover what will be the minimum and best type of antennas for schools to use. To encourage everyone to receive and report the ARISSat-1 145.920 MHz BPSK telemetry signals AMSAT-UK are offering a FUN reward for listeners!

[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1 BPSK software
The ARISSat-1 team is still working on the first release version of the BPSK-1000 software. We hope to release a version within the next week. The PC version is only running on XP at the moment. There will be a Mac version also. There will a wav file available to test the operation. 73, Gould, WA4SXM ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
