An interesting idea would be trying a FreeDV QSO via satellite. I've made a
few QSOs with it on HF and it's an interesting mode.
Obviously it's full duty-cycle, so any attempts should be limited to just a
few tests, but I'm sure it would work.

Well back in the days of AM and when SSB came out it was the same
thinking then BUT what has happened to AM . Same thing with DSTAR it
is growing and will grow . Thats what makes ham radio so much fun,
there is something for everyone

I use D-STAR Digital Data on 1.2 GHz for my Winlink RMS Packet CMS
connection, 24/7.
The Pactor 3 mode that I use for Winlink HF forwarding is proprietary.
But nobody else has come up with anything near as good (yet). So a lot
of hams use it because it does the job well.
We use D-STAR DD 1.2

Hi All,
Our software team is working feverishly to complete the FUNcube Dashboard
software that we will be using to decode and display the telemetry that will
be transmitted from the spacecraft on 145.935 MHz.
Whilst they finish their work here are some provisional pre-launch keps. We

Hi all,
The K4AMG CLUB is using the TS 2000 and SATPC32.
In SAT mode the program or the transceiver gives an uplink and down link
frequency. The ISS is simplex. Is it possible to work a simplex mode to
the ISS with this configuration?
God Bless

ISS voice contacts are NOT simplex. They are just not cross-band. You
have a different uplink and downlink frequency but within the same band
similar to a conventional repeater.
You should be able to set both the software and the radio to the correct
frequencies.

SATPC32ISS should fix you up. Look at SATPC32 in your programs folder, it
should be there.
I'm not sure about the TS 2000, I use Icom 910 but that shouldn't matter.
With SATPC32ISS it

FreeDV would probably work on the transponder birds if your doppler update

Hi,
Rather than trying to get a D-Star radio to QSY in less than 5 kHz
steps, you could try freeDV with your existing SSB transceivers?
D-Star occupies 6.25 kHz bandwidth on the transponder, but freeDV only
needs 1.25 kHz (half of a normal SSB voice emission).
You can get freeDV
