Now, my question is this. While waiting to acquire the satellite, that is *before* the DCD light is active, the DSP unit continuously pulses the mic frequency change line. Short of adding a switch in the freq control line is there a way to avoid this. It seems like the STEP function should require the modem to hear a frequency error AND hear a carrier before is starts changing the frequency. Additionally, when the radio (Yaesu FT-736R) transmits, if a freq stepping pulse arrives during the short time the radio is transmitting, the frequency is changed by 100 Hz since that is the smallest tuning increment while in the FM mode. Since the DSP unit thinks that it has stepped the VFO by 10Hz the modem jumps way off frequency. Does anyone have a workaround for this?

I think they would start about 9 or 10AM PDT on a frequency of 14.345 MHz. If you would like a full listing of EME capable hams call the BBS at (704) 284-4854 (I forget the name). You will fing alot of EME related stuff including the current directory there.

(Under most circumstances, including this one.) Gary, GRO is the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. If I am not mistaken, UO is equivalent to RS ? 22828 is just a NORAD object number for perhaps a new satellite but I do not know what that one is. -- Jim Blackwell Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph Science Support Computer Sciences Corporation NASA/GSFC Code 681.0 Greenbelt, MD 20771 ------------------------------ Date: 11 Oct 1994 16:56:27 -0700 From: rdcole@crl.com (Ron Cole) Subject: What are these??

There are no Uplink Frequencies listed for this satellite. I cant seem to locate the description of the purpose of the satellite right now. The Down link frequencies are. 145.826, 435.025, 2401.50. I think this is a telemetery bird with Pictures as a primary component of that data stream.. Micros are the"Microsats" these are store and forward packet satellites. POSAT is a Comercial/Ham satellite. Most of the time it is operating in the Comercial mode. Check 435.250 & 435.280Dn, 145.925 & 145.975Up. UO-14 ? I don't have a listing for that satellite. There is OSCAR 21 or RS-14 which is a regular u/V mode satellite (Mode B). Ron ------------------------------ End of Ham-Space Digest V94 #288 ******************************
