Starnet sounds good to me. Dave-KB1PVH

Here is a diagram for anyone else that is going to make up a repeater using a Moencomm board.

Maybe:tt2: Dave-KB1PVH

You are correct. Dave-KB1PVH

Taken from the recent AMSAT News Email- In addition to the AMSAT-NA Fox cubesat launch opportunity announce- ments several other satellites with amateur radio transponders are expected to launch during 2013. Here is a summary of the upcoming launch plans: + A 2013 Yasny Dnepr Launch...

AO-27 has been out of service since October, if memory serves me correct. That would be why you couldn't hear it. The clouds won't degrade the signal enough that you would notice. Dave-KB1PVH

For FM birds SO-50 and ISS packet (schedule varies) SSB/CW birds VO-52, FO-29, AO-7 (switches between mode A and B) You can check out OSCAR Satellite Status page by KD5QGR for up to date status reports. Dave-KB1PVH

1. Make sure you update the keps in Satscape. 2. Make sure your current time is correct. 3. Make sure your location is correct. Do those three and compare again Dave-KB1PVH

If you are going to try working the satellites, let me give you a word of advice, DO NOT TRANSMIT UNLESS YOU CAN HEAR THE SATELLITE, and open your squelch. check out this site for recorded satellite passes and some info on working the birds. General Satellite Recordings

That's what you get for getting rid of your 847!!:thumbup:

The IC-91AD is NOT full duplex. I used to use my IC-92AD until I got an IC-910 for the birds.

You can come to my place to get a good copy on SSTV, HAHAHA. Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Didn't take you long to take pictures and post them. Was I even out of the driveway? :)

I have made many contacts when it was active, it's a lot less crowded. They are only running the 145.920/435.300 repeater due to low battery voltage. you can check out the AO-51 Control Team page to get the status of the repeaters on it at: AMSAT - AO-51 Control Team News Dave - KB1PVH

SatPC32, Orbitron, and Ham Radio Deluxe are all good, and free. I use SatPC32 for doppler control of my Icom IC-910, works great. Dave - KB1PVH

I think it does have to be in DIG mode in order to pass transmit audio through the DIN socket. You would also have to do PTT through the DIN also for it to work......I think. Dave - KB1PVH

The only problem with HRD and the 857 is that the audio gets paused, or muted for about a second when the downlink freq changes. The way around it is to take the audio from the DIN connector in the rear and run it through amplified speakers. Just an FYI if you haven't made it that far with that...
