I am using a Yeasu FT-736R which expects the up/dowm freq buttons to go high (+5V) when activated. The AEA unit is designed to pull the up/down lines to ground. I have built a logic inverter with a couple of resistors and NPN transistors but I still can't get the doppler correction signals to work. It's difficult to test the doppler correction except during a satellite pass. If I am reading the manual correctly, the SCAN command should pulse the freq control lines (that is if the SCAN command is implemented on the 1232 unit). By the way, I am using bver. 7.00 ROMs which are supposed to do doppler correction. Thanks in advance for any help...

Calls will be CO0FRC operating from Grid Square EL83 and CO0BGG operating from EL93. Both of these stations, along with CO0EGZ in EL82, will also be active during ARRL VHF QSO Party which will be held June 4 through 6. /EX ------------------------------ Date: 1 Jun 1994 13:30:04 -0500 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!usc!howland.reston.ans.net!wupost!news.utdallas.edu!corpgate!crchh327.bnr.ca!debaker@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Orbital Elements for the Moon? To: ham-space@ucsd.edu Greetings, I was just wondering if there are orbital elements for the moon that could be entered into a satellite tracking program. Two line NASA format would be best. While we're at it, how about elements for the sun? Thanks, +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | David E.

I have owned both KLM and M^2. KLM is a very good quality antenna. This past weekend I put up some M^2 antennas for Mode B. I think the materials are very good quality, but only time will tell about the durability of the machanical design. Also, I have an SWR problem, which I *THINK* is related to some inherited Belden 9913 and not the antennas. You can buy a Mode B antenna kit (including 2" fiberglass boom) from Radioware in Mass. Includes 2 M^2 circular pol antennas. One problem: The hardware used to mount the 435 MHz antenna includes a 1.5" U bolt, while the fiberglass mast is 2"! The mounting plate accomodates both 1.5 and 2". I just have to go out and buy a 2" U bolt now. 73 de Larry/NA5E ------------------------------ Date: 1 Jun 1994 16:35:39 -0400 From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!usc!howland.reston.ans.net!usenet.ins.cwru.edu!ns.mcs.kent.edu!kira.cc.uakron.edu!malgudi.oar.net!news.pipeline.com!not-for-mail@network.ucsd.edu Subject: Oscar antennas? To: ham-space@ucsd.edu I was thinking about getting Cushcrafts AOP bundle oscar antennas. It seems like a good deal at $250. Can anyone give me some ideas about this? Thanks...
