Hi all,
Please accept my sincere apologies regarding my posting on the Pocketsat3
tracking software for the
iPod.
I have been contacted to advise that unlike the PDA software there is NOT
an unregistered version that can be downloaded. Not having an iPod I had

Most people find that 10 watts to a gain antenna is workable, but get much
better results with a brick amp to bump that up to ~70 watts. And while
doable, working without active Doppler control is equally painful for you
and the stations you are TRYING to work.

Does the G5500 come with any rotor cable?
Or just the connectors and we have to buy cable and install the connectors?

iPod/iPhone owners should just go to the app store and search for
satellite tracker and you'll find several ranging from free to $9.99.
I've been playing around with the free one and it seems to give good
data for individual satellites, but the $1.99 version of the same has
reviews bad enough

Has anyone used 1.2 GHz loop yagis on AO-51 or any other satellites
before?
Was it worth? Would you recommend?
Any comment?

I am a new iPhone user and wanted a good satellite tracking program for it.
Before I could try any of the others, I noticed PocketSat3. Being a long
time satisfied user of PocketSat+ in my PDA, I paid my money and took my
chances. I have not been disappointed! It is an excellent program and
Herm. I just got my free iTouch with my macbook and am getting registered
to start hacking at the SDK. Are any of these apps OSS? I'll probably
search around tonight a bit to see if I can find any.

I used a Directive Systems loop yagi for quite a while. Other than polarity
fades, it worked fine.

I have used PocketSat+ on Palm devices for years and have been very pleased
with it. It has helped me have many visual ISS, occasional Shuttle sightings
and listen in on some school contacts. I installed GoSatWatch on my iPhone
shortly after it came out and have been pleased with it as well.
I still have my iPaq from way back when and it is still working (well
batteries don't charge very well nor last long) but PocketSAt+ is the
only application I still use this dinosaur for. I've been very happy
with PocketSat+ so I guess the new version, for the iPod is even better.

worked. I too used 6 conductor thermostat wire. Only complaint

Just letting you know that the July/August Journal was uploaded to the
