- Subject: AEA DSP-1232 problem
-
- My solution was to use a batch file that does not turn STEP to on until
- AOS. I am running a fully automatic station using Satsked.

- Subject: Doppler problems in WinTrak 2.0
-
- I have been using WinTrak 2.0 but have problems with its Doppler
- calculations. The author says there are no problems with it, BUT the
- Doppler values calculated by InstantTrack, WiSP, OrbiTrack, SatTrak all
- agree with each other (within a few Hertz) but disagree with WinTrak.
-
- WinTrak often gives Doppler values with the wrong sign.
-
- Has anyone else using this puppy?

- I was interested in this program when it first came out so I called
- the author to inquire about some details. I use a Kansas City Tracker
- Tuner card to run things at the shack so I asked if he supported that
- card. He said not only did he not support it but the KCT people were
- out of business. This is news to L.L. Grace they think they are still
- in business. Agreed there are some newer way to run your AZ/EL rotors
- I think KCT must still be the most prolific system right now. He mostly
- supports some parallel port box ( can't remember which). Seems to me
- this
- guy is not a player in the satellite game, a view supported by your
- experience.
-
- Enough pontificating what are you to do?
-
- Call AMSAT at 301-589-6062 they have a large selection of software all
- of which WORKS get WISP if you want to use windows and forget WinTrak
- as I have.

-
- Good news!
-
- Packet service has been partially restored to south central Wisconsin
- and the EZSAT bulletins are back on packet. Does anybody want me to
- continue to upload them here? And if so, is there any way to restrict
- distribution to North America?

- Subject: TNC/Modem for PACSATS
-
- Just getting into the digital satellite world.
- Wonder what modem/TNC is being used by the community to receive
- telemetry and operate through the PACSATS and other digital birds?
- Are many of you using the AEA products (PK232, PK-96, PK900, or the
- DSP series)? How easy is your terminal to use? What software is
- usable?
- Thanks, Mel W3MR robertsm@jsc.mil

-
- Object 22828 appears to be the "real" KO-25. It appears the KO-25 was originally
- pegged as 22830 but 22828 now tracks KO-25 much better.

- 22828 is the Norad number for ITAMSAT, Oscar 26.
- POSAT is a Portuguese amateur satellite (with, interestingly, a
- GPS receiver aboard).
- GRO is the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory.
