- FO-20: The following is the current schedule for transponder operations:
- ANALOG MODE:
- 23-Mar-94 7:52 -to- 30-Mar-94 8:15 UTC
- 6-Apr-94 6:45 -to- 13-Apr-94 7:10 UTC

-
- MIR: The packet call for MIR is R0MIR-1 and the operating frequency is
- 145.550 MHz. The crew usually has the Personal Messaging System
- (PMS) running. If you hear voice operations ask for Victor, Yuri, or
- Valeri. [VK3DFI]
-
- AO-27: AMRAD-OSCAR-27 (AO-27) is up and going, and is said to be working
- well. It is in popular use in Europe. The 436.800 MHz FM down-
- link can be heard on a hand-held. Uplink is 145.850 MHz. It is
- said to be only active in daylight passes. [G3IOR]
-
- UFO: We have a UFO on 145.592 MHz sending data. It was first heard by
- G3JQI at 18:50 UTC "dopplering" down until 18:55 UTC LOS on
- 16-MAR-94. [G3IOR]
-
- The AMSAT NEWS Service (ANS) is looking for volunteers to contribute weekly
- OSCAR status reports. If you have a favorite OSCAR which you work on a
- regular basis and would like to contribute to this bulletin, please send
- your observations to WD0HHU at his CompuServe address of 70524,2272, on
- INTERNET at wd0hhu@amsat.org, or to his local packet BBS in the Denver, CO
- area, WD0HHU @ W0LJF.#NECO.CO.USA.NOAM. Also, if you find that the current
- set of orbital elements are not generating the correct AOS/LOS times at
- your QTH, PLEASE INCLUDE THAT INFORMATION AS WELL. The information you
- provide will be of value to all OSCAR enthusiasts.

- To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
-
- In reply to your question:
- "Just a quick question to those who have received the Dec 1993 upgrade for
- the DSP2232. I was wondering if anyone has received any information with
- respect to the step funtion for radio frequency control of doppler effect?
- It seems to me that the funtion is non-operable when using PB ( KISS Mode )
- and I wonder if so - what is it's purpose at least for the digital
- satellites. I would like to hear from anyone who has more information as to
- the funtion over what is in the manual - esp as to what the numbers signify
- on the front of the unit.
-
- My unit works fine with PB in KISS mode. Remember only modems 13 and 23
- (the PSK modems) use the step function. The numbers +/- in the non-KISS
- display indicate the number of 10Hz steps you are "off".
- Does your DSP-2232 work with the steps when not in KISS mode? Make sure
- it does before worrying about KISS mode.
