The PK-900 does NOT have a 9600 bps FSK modem where most of the satellite digital stuff is. The DSP-2232 DOES have the required modem for 9600 as well as a lot of other stuff. What modes do you want to use?

Although I have not tried to get into the RS-15 bird, I did have success with several of the earlier RS birds while running about 35 to 40 watts output into a crossed dipole antenna up about 20 feet. It didn't work well when the bird was on the horizon, but on overhead passes I had no trouble. I was using CW. You might need a bit more power if you're using SSB.

Pointed at the satellite, this should be an effective power of 100 watts or so. It was rough and I can't do it with the satellite near the horizon although CW will probably work. I recommend you try a yagi which will help a lot when the sat is near the horizon. A good receiving antenna is also needed as I have heard several guys on there that are getting in good but can't seem to hear themselves or others. Again, I recommend a yagi, possibly with a pre-amp at the antenna. This satellite is over twice as high as RS-10 and RS-12 while also having a weaker transponder and serious spin modulation. Try CW ;-} -- zardoz@ornews.intel.com WA7LDV No plane, no gain. I speak only for myself Go out and fly today!

What you will find is primarily two types of packet. They are 1200 bps and 9600 bps. The 1200 bps uses phase shift keying, while 9600 bps uses a form of frequency shift keying. Both require specific modems and connections to your transceiver. If you were to set up a PK-900 with a G3RUH modem afor 9600 bps and a psk modem, you would be up there in price with the DSP-2232. Also, the 9600 option for the PK-900 is not really a satellite modem, although it can be used as such with reduced performance. I have a PK-900 which I use on my boat for HF work, but my satellite is done with a dsp. If you cannot afford the DSP-2232, you might want to check out the DSP-93 kit from Tapr. It is not a complete unit like the 2232, but is about half the $$$.

NASA Catalog Number is also known as NORAD or U.S. Space Command object number. 2. No orbital plane position = satellite no longer operational. 3. Clock: Rb = Rubidium; Cs = Cesium. 4. Selective Availability (S/A) had been enabled on Block II satellites during part of 1990; S/A off between about 10 August 1990 and 1 July 1991 due to Gulf crisis; standard level re-implemented on 15 November 1991; occasionally off for test and other purposes. Currently, PRN15 and PRN28 appear to have little or no S/A imposed. 5. Anti-spoofing (A-S) was activated on 94-01-31 at 00:00 UT on all Block II satellites (ref. NANU 050-94042); occasionally off for test and other purposes. A-S was turned off on all satellites at 20:00 UT on 95-04-19 and back on on 95-05-10 and was off again between 95-06-19 and 95-07-10. A-S has been off on PRN28 since 95-02-21. 6. PRN number of SVN32 was changed from 32 to 01 on 93-01-28. 7. PRN05 and PRN06 are equipped with corner-cube reflectors for satellite laser ranging (SLR). SLR tracking of the satellites will permit onboard clock errors and satellite ephemeris errors in GPS tracking to be differentiated. 8. The decommissioning date for PRN06/SVN03 is the date of termination of operations of this satellite (ref. USNO) and is about 3 weeks later than the date GPSIC gives for "deactivation". =============================================================================== Richard B.

It comes with all the satellite and terrestrial modems (HF as well as VHF/UHF) as well as other stuff (audio oscilloscope, audio spectrum analyzer, audio function generator, (soon) W9GR-like audio procesing. Most modems require an external TNC and connects via the modem disconnect header. See the TAPR web page for a lot of additional info: http://www.tapr.org/tapr/ Internal TNCs are under development by TAPR and others also.

Lines: 47 Message-ID: <rwf.260.0081F106@mindspring.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: rwf.mindspring.com X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev B] On August 5th, 1995, after a 1 hour weather hold,our balloon was launched from Crossroads Elementary School near Dallas, GA. Bill Brown (WB8ELK) and his girlfriend were there to lend a hand. We even had an unplanned experiment: "Ants in Space" (with apologies to Gerry Creager's cows). Someone had set the GPS payload down on an anthill, and we were going to have the first amateur "Antronauts". :( At liftoff, something caused the bottom payload (the GPS/TNC/TEKK Radio) to separate from the flight train. This caused the balloon to ascend with only the ATV payload, Radar reflector, parachute, and 10 and 2 meter beacons. Those payloads worked flawlessly, and the fox hunters DF'ed the balloon with the aid of APRS and manual beam headings, handi finders and Doppler units. A local fellow has a Company (Directional Systems) that makes a NICE Doppler unit. After a two hour flight, the package landed on a farm, in a 100 ft high Sweet Gum tree. The farmer tried to shoot down the package for us with a rifle, but couldn't get all the strings. His son fi nally felled the tree and we cut it up into logs and stacked it for him. The payloads, including the video with servo controlled moving mirror all worked while the balloon was in the tree and during the tree felling. By the way, the first person to the balloon was WB8ELK. I know telemetry was received in Huntsville by KE4EER. Any one else receive our beacons? We'll post some images on the web site soon. And I will post the HST file of the DFing activities as well. We have 1 balloon and 1 tank of helium left, so we'll fly it again soon (ALL of it, I hope) For more details about this project, as well as telemetry decoding charts- see the WWW address listed below Ralph Fowler, N4NEQ S.E.R.A.

I need some help on the description of noise levels in the reciever. No preamps yet. Antennas are Quadrifer Helix for 2m and a pair of twin QHelix's on 70cm (RHCP & LHCP). I just need to know if this is good or bad and best of all what a great signal should sound like. Maybe some suggestions on getting to a great signal. On 2m, beacons all over the place (SSB) all the way up the dial. Some so loud they come in full quieting (5x9). On either side of the beacons USB and LSB there are many different digital signals that vary between 5x3 to 5x6 or so. There is really roughly 50% noise and 50% signal on the strongest ones. It seems there are even more signals down lower. I have not tried to tune in the TNC yet. I am waiting on a pre-amp. ( Pin Diodes ?? noisy on XMIT ?) On 70 cm, Crystal clear local signals repeaters etc. On going up the band (from bottom) the noise (back ground) increases at 440 to 443 and then back to normal back ground. Beacons are present but about 5x6 on the band as a whole. Near 440 (.0003~ FM) I can hear packet booming in way above the noise but the signal has a little noise on it and is not full quieting. ( I may be off freq. a little). Should there be signals all over the place here too? What does the increase in noise between 440 & 443 mean? Antenna mismatch ? Match ? One antenna is not near as good as two. Would you put a pre-amp on both 70cm antennas or join together.... ? Its the pubescent pre-amp stage. Yuck.

The Nienberge Amateur Radio Group (Germany) performed its second balloon launch on sunday, 07-16-95 (I apologize for this late report: QRL hr!). This was our announcement: > We planned to have another emergency beacon with our regular balloon > equipment, and it now is ready for a launch. Since we have some (smaller ) spare > balloons, we plan to do a launch with only this rig: 2 m beacon - no data, no > remote control, no gas valve; just launching and parachuting (hopefully) "home" > after bursting. It should be a 2 - 3 hours flight. Yes, that's what we intended... but, of course, the actual flight was totally different! ARTOB launch 07-16-95: Launch: # 2 Launch date 07-16-95 Launch time: 1201 UTC Launch site: Nienberge near Muenster, NW Germany, JO32SA Call sign: DL0ART/am QRG/mod.: 144.991 MHz F1A beacon: call sign and info in FM audio CW, in between freq shift slow (- - - - - - = balloon lifts) or fast (......... = balloon is descending) (using a quicksilver switch) Power: 100 mW Antenna: groundplane Diameter ballon: ca. 3 ft Gas: hydrogen Parachute: ca. 5 ft Weight: 490 g (over all) Lift rate: ca. 200 g (UTC) 11:00 Meeting of the team at launch site 11:20 weather data: ground wind 14 knots, 240 deg 12:01 launch 12:10 DF teams start to their dedicated areas The author had a hard moment when the parachute of the launched balloon did not open immediately - but after a few moments, it did... So far, everything was on schedule. But it turned out that the ballon was drifting E/SE with quite a high speed. The DF teams had a very hard time following. At 14:30 the balloon left quit the area of the maps used by the teams (we use a very special system for giving DF results to the coordinator). Furthermore, the main DF coordintor, Joachim, DL3YBQ), had to head home and left us alone... I guess that was the moment when we lost (just a little bit) control of the situation. And: the beacon signal still indicated the balloon lifting! The DF teams continued following the balloon, but soon it is obvious that its speed was to high for us - most of the teams were just driving on highways in this rural area where we found ourselves. These roads seemed to lead anywere except to the place were the balloon apparently was... so we finally switched over to interstates. At about 18:00 most of us were in the Goettingen area (160 km linear distance), and still the DF results were unanimous: east! East of Goettingen, the Harz begins - a secondary chain of mountains (summits up to 3200 ft). Another old man located in these mountains told us that his QTE also was - east. So we finally decided at 18:30 UTC - that was 20:30 local time and about the time of sun set - to finish our hunt and go home. What has happened? Obviously, the lift of the balloon was not sufficient to bring it to a height where it would burst. We ae not sure if the gaz filling was insufficient or if maybe the parachute had slowed the lift so much that the balloon already lost too much gaz on its way up. It also passed a thunderstorm area, so maybe the balloon and the payload were covered with ice during some parts of its journey. There also was another (so far) unexplained effect: about 2 hours after the launch, the beacon freq increased by abt 4 or 5 kHz, but decreased after 30 min by abt 6 or 7 kHz, increased again and so on. The transmitter was crystal-controlled, and was thermically quite well isolated in a styrofoam box - so what could be the reason? But there also were some very positive things to tell: Since we used the local 70 cm repeaters for talk back (and quite a few of them during our long journey, hi), we drew the attention of many OMs to us, or better the balloon. Many of them help us with triangular DF or just told which roads to use and so (how do I get right across through Bielefeld - quite a large city - as fast as possible?). Even some days later, we heard OMs on our local repeater asking what had happened to the balloon, did we recover the payload and so on. That by itself was probably the biggest success of this launch - consider that ballooning is not that popular in Germany as it apparently is in the US. HAPPY END! Wednesday morning, Armin (DF1QE) got a phone call! The balloon had been found (by a non-ham) who already had seen this balloon right next to a road he passed on his way to work on monday morning. He finally became curious - so we were lucky! I almost forgot (not relly, hi): he lives in Krina near Bitterfeld (formerly East Germany), JO62DP. So our balloon travelled a distance of abt 330 km. And the balloon never bursted - this explains why we had the signal for lifting during the whole flight. About ten days later, we got the equipment back (by mail). Conclusions: We will never start again on a such a windy day - yes, 14 knots is not that much, but the upper wind normally is twice as much, and that is defintely too fast to follow in an area that does not provide appropriate roads (e.g. leading to the balloon, hi). Besides that, on every upcoming launch we will add a receiver to the equipment for remote control of a relaese unit for the payload (Guess why?). Meanwhile, we are happy that we got the payload back (even if its value is limited). We got reception reports even from Bremen - a distance of about 100 km.

Can someone confirm if there is a problem or not? Here is what the program produced when I entered the receive frequency and doppler shift frequency: For RS-10 Mode A Down Freq MHZ Up Freq MHZ Doppler KHZ 29.380 145.880 0 29.381 144.881 +1 29.379 146.879 -1 It is possible that I don't understand how to correctly take into account the doppler shift, but this looked real strange to me. I tried some other frequencies also and it seemed to put the transmit frequency out of band. By way of test to see if I knew how to figure in doppler shift, I was on RS-15 the other day (close enough to RS-10 in frequency conversion) and made cont 29.38048 + 116.504 - .202 = 145.884278.

It is best to have a short text message prepared on your computer before calling the R0MIR-1 station. It should L(O)(O)K something like this: --------------------------------------------------------- SP R0MIR < [your_callsign] Greetings [title_of_message] Short message for reliable throughput that you have stored on your system. Your signature and home pbbs info's should they decide at some point to reply. Ya' never know. /EX [to_close_the_message] -------------------------------------------------------------- Once you receive the prompt from the R0MIR-1 pbbs, then use you plain ascii upload to send the example above. Tune in early for the signal, and about five Khz low is average for the start of the pass, then as spacecraft approaches, tune to center frequency of 145.550 Mhz for best results. NB: Most likely the crew is sleeping after 5 p.m. local (edt) until wee hours of morning, somedays listening during day you will also here them engage in voice conversation.... ..

I have a 2 meter all mode radio. Does is look like 2 meter contacts will be possible this weekend? If so, when will each direction be possible from the southwest. IE. What time of day do I work if I want to try the Midwest? Maybe North? How strong of an outgoing signal is desired? Does SSB work or is Dit Da necessary?

It will sure help the first stage, but the beneficial effect on the second stage will be less. You will probably have to insulate the entire box except where the peltier cooler is attached, and add a big heat sink to the hot side of the peltier device. Good luck!

(19.2k baud or faster) Adding 56k+ baud cability would greatly enhance performance on low orbit satelites. It would allow modes like digital voice and crosslinking of multiple satellites. I've heard rumors that phase IIID might offer T1 speeds? That sounds great. But it's unwise to have all our faster digital hopes based on one one satelite with no backup. We should also be building relitivly cheap high speed digital satellites in low to medium orbits. Anyways I do hope the designers of phase IIID are planning for the future and implement 1.5 Mbps channels. This would allow for some very powerfull capibilities in amateur radio.

Basicaly(if I am remembering correctly) they just replaced the 455kc flilter with a 0.01uF cap. Spec-com ran a conversion for the Kenwood R2000 that did the same thing. The R2000, a sw rig, also had an optional VHF converter as sort of a plug in. The Specom artical showed a way to have your cake and eat it too. They used a small DPDT relay to either have the 455kc or the 0.01uF cap. I suspect that the same idea might work for the Pro2004/5/6. The advantage of this over the BC100, is the BC100 also required retuning the IF. If memory serves me, you tunned to the other conversion product up ?2X10.7Mc? and rebais the RF front end. The BC100 would almost have to be dedicated..of course the BC100 should be cheap these days. If you need the DRIG phone number and file name, just drop me a line. Either here or Email. I do not have it here, but should still have the data at home. ............................................................................

They sell a set of the 455khz and 10.7 mhz filters for around $25 for the pair. I have modified several receivers just by by-passing the 10.7 mhz filter with a 470 pf capacitor and then purchasing a 40khz filter for the 455khz. This gives very usable results. Also i have obtained very satisfactory results with just a standard off-the-shelf receiver. Hope this is of any help!

If you have a real Sound Blaster card, try the SBDSP. There are atleast two versions. You will also need APTCAP40. I think both the ARRL and AMSAT ftp sites have both. I have not had any luck with this route. I suspect that I am just miss- understanding something. The JVFAX route works great. It is at the AMSAT ftp site. It works best with a real am demod feeding an a>d converter. But the author includes a diagram for a ?2211 am demod>>fm mod that you feed to a simple op amp circuit.

The return current from the motor passes through 3 x 1 ohm 1 Watt resistors in parallel, the voltage so developed is applied to a pre-set pot to vary the cut-off point and the slider goes to the base of an NPN transistor. This is bufferd through another transistor, which in the event of an overload operates a self-latching relay to disconnect the 26v ac to the motor.

The load on the present 9600 bps sats is maxed out when they are over populated areas. The biggest problem is in getting enough power to put out a readable signal from the satellite. The size of the sats are very limited, and there is only so much area for solar panels. There are some modulation schemes that conserve power, but the cost of the modems and special RF gear is pretty extreme. >I've heard rumors >that phase IIID might offer T1 speeds? That sounds great.

This type of termo electric coolers are multi-stage Peltier-cascades. ( single stage coolers do not give a temperature difference enough) Those cascades look like small pyramids, where the coolest surface is the smallest, because underlying elements cool the preceeding, including their losses. All surfaces but the outermost must be thermally isolated in a tight fashion, ( use thermal foam ) in order to minimize dimensions ( cost ). The temperature limit is somewhere between -90deg C to -100deg C. This makes them excellent replacements for liquid nitrogen. The Peltier type of cooler is frequently used to cool IR-detectors. First stage cooling of radio receivers are more often done at considerably lower temperature and this excludes the TEC although the use of this kind of cooler could not be more simple.

I must correct my own statement. With the cold sky as background, cooling the LNA could potentially produce an SNR improvement greater than 1 dB.

That qualifies as an understatement in the same class as "Houston, We've had a problem". I would certainly like more high speed digital satellites, but are you aware of the cost and effort invovled in building and launching such a bird???????? If the AMSAT members want such a project - and are willing to fund it, then it would certainly be an excellent project for the future, after Phase 3-D is in operation. In some ways it might even be easier to operate. But I think you've underestimated the effort needed to do such a project.

Thanks. The R-7000 would not be appropriate for these modes. It tunes in 100 hz steps, while 10 hz is needed for psk. It can work for FM AFSK, but I have noticed that the sensitivity is not very good. I use mine for weather sats (with much modification), but with even these relatively high powered signals, I need one extra stage of RF amplification. For PSK, the modems all use tuning inputs to the radio, and the R-7000 has no provisions for that. These are great as scanners, but leave something to be desired for serious data signal reception. I think it would be better to stick with a radio that is intended for Amateur band usage. They will be optimised for the intended band, with better performance than a wide coverage scanner type unit. -- From Bill, n7ryw@teleport.com Amsat NA Life Member #2109 From amsoft@epix.net Mon Aug 21 18:17:15 1995 Path: grape.epix.net!news.sprintlink.net!howland.reston.ans.net!ix.netcom.com!netnews From: ando1@ix.netcom.com (Johnny B.

I've been using a Yaseu 5400B for years but now am having a problem. The azimuth reading (via KCT) is wrong. I checked the output of the 5400's din plug and indeed the voltage is jumping several volts in a random pattern. The elevation is working just fine. One last thing, the analog display on the 5400 does show the proper az position. Anyone ever have this problem?

Yes the Molniya birds are in Molniya orbits ( what else) and usually have 3 operational birds plus one running spare plus some stand bys. Of course there are also the military com sats and presumably still some U.S. jumpseats up there chasing each other in orbits similar to the initial orbit of Oscar 13. The problems of tracking a Molniya should be about the same as tracking Oscar 13 with a microwave dish. Thanks for bringing me up to date on those birds.

I was told that "you can only receive hf style sefax with the 'simplest' demodulator" Diagram AMFMFAX.GIF show a circuit using the XR2206. This is a converter that goes in front of the op-amp cirucit. It detects the AM NAOO APT FAX and CONVERTS it into a FM(HF) FAX signal. The diagram text is in GERMAN but the circuit does work and works fairly well. It is a full wave detector driving a VCO. There is a graph, AMFMFAX1.GIF, that show the transfer curve. It is reasonalbly linear. I used a 8ohm to 1000ohm transformer. I used a 2n2222 for T1. While I now use a better demodulator, I decided to keep this one around for field operation. TO any and all that emailed me, I am sorry to reply this way, but UK is having MAJOR mail problems. They switched us all from CC mail to Eudora. I have had a nightmare trying to post mail off campus and have been told by freinds that a lot of mail sent to me is bouncing. Our campus access to the news groups has been kind of spooty also. The bottom line is this simple method does work. And, while a better demodulator is a real good idea, you can toss the "simplest" adaptor and the xr2206 converter togather in a evening. The only problem that the simplest/xr2206 had was in saving. My old pc, a 20mc 80386, just got "lost" while trying to save images.(or it might have been the MAXTOR hard file..it was a GREEN energy saver that would auto-spin down. You could hear the drive stop and then tJVFAX would lock up..sometimes) I tried it again last night on NOAA12, I had a good 50 degree pass last night, and captured the entire pass with the simplest/XR2206 demod. I currently have a 80486DX66(I use the maxtor as my boot drive(c:) and capture to a seagate 80meg). Give it a shot. It is a thrill to see your first capture. Oh, and don't try to record the pass on audio tape and expect to play it back and captur it after the fact. Almost all audio tape recorders, either reeel to rel or cassette, have so much wow and flutter that the resultant image will be barely if at all usefull. You might be able to record the pass on a VHS vcr and play it back. Be sure to feed a good stong clean local video signal in the video input.(most home vcrs will allow you to tune in a local tv station and plug in an external audio source). VCRs have a seperate control track that might keep the tape speed constant(or least close enouge for our purposes). I have had good luck with a borrowed NAGRA reel to reel audio recorder. The NAGRA was designed to be used with a file camera and has a 100hz crystal refferenced audio track. During playback it "locks" the tape speed to the internal clock. I mention this just to save you the frustration that I have already been through in trying to tape a pass. .............................................................................

Most dishes have a beam 1-2 degrees wide, about 2-4 full moon widths. It's a BIG sky, over 25,000 places to point and only a few will work. The satellites are NOT that close together. EVERY working system I've seen has ACTIVE alt-azi pointing that updates the position every few seconds. The Apple ][ system used TLEs to get close when the bird came up then used a 'random move'/ signal strength check to track. (hey... it worked...) BTW: Problem 7: There is a few minutes of signal dropout when EVERYBODY switches to the NEXT 'rising' satellite when the current one 'sets'.

At home, as I type, a partially assembled DEM 432-28mhz transverter sits on my bench. This is the design that is intended as an IF transverter for use behind a 10.368Ghz transverter. It is a nice, but bare bones kit, with separate Rx/Tx ports for both the 28mhz IF and the 432 side, and about a 4db NF, as I recall. (Remember this is an IF transverter) It sold for $109. When I have it up and running, my intent is to pick up the 10G modular transverter system. Steve also sells a high performance kit, with options available for switching, power, and packaging. I don't have the specs handy, but give him a call if you're interested.

You need to setup the KCT/T under "old Windows". It will then run fine under WIN95, but in order to edit the setup file in WIN95, you'll have to manually edit the KCT/T.INI file (not it's correct name, but the appropriate "INI" file). Chris Jackson is working on the driver for the KCT/T so that you can alter it in the usual way under WIN95. It'll probably be a month or so.

William, the SatTrack (V3.1) implementation of the SGP4 model has a typical precision of better than 10 minutes of arc in azimuth and elevation angles for typical orbit predictions with two-line element sets that are not more than a few days old. The calculations of the latitude and longitude of the sub-satellite point are even more precise. A lot depends on how old your two-line element sets are.

It is a great radio! I enjoy it very much. However, I do have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find the answer to in the manual. Maybe you can help me. 1) When using the autodialer, the button sequence is PTT, PF, & then the autodialer memory number (#1 in my case). The transmitter turns on when the PTT is pressed, of course, but then turns off when the PF button is pressed and then back on for the DTMF string. However, there is no (or very little) pause between the transmitter turn on and the sending out of DTMF. I use two repeater autopatches and neither of them likes this and it _usually_ results in a misdial. Question: Is there anyway to add a pause or a brief wait between the transmitter turning back on and the output of DTMF? 2) When using the 742A in a crossband repeat mode between a 220 repeater and my 2m HT, I have to wait for the 220 repeater to drop before I can transmit. This becomes a real drag when on a roundtable on the 220 repeater and it has a long hang time. Is there anyway around this? Is there a way to make the 742A act like a single frequency repeater on the 2m side (ie. sample the receive every few hundred milliseconds)?

Lines: 28 Message-ID: <4250r6$drk@avatar.avatar.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: avatar.avatar.com Hi everyone, I been trying pickup the DO-17 downlink with little success. I can clearly hear it on the speaker, althought most of the time its not full quieting. Here's my setup: - Yaesu FT-736R - Diamond 510 omni ground plane - TE Sestems 1412G amp & pre-amp - AEA PK232 I have the TNC monitor more set to 4 (and I tried six) and its in packet mode. When I disconnect the TNC from audio out, I can clearly hear DO-17`s telemetry downlink, but most of the time its not full quieting. Is there any special mode or option I need to set on the TNC? This configuration works great for regular terestrial packet. Also, for normal packet usage, do you squelch your radio and then adjust it so it unsquelchs when it starts reciving packets or do you futz around with the volume/treshold levels? The AEA manual sucks and wasn't very clear on how to calibrate everything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
