So, I picked up ProSat last night and have been monkeying with it, does anyone else use it? Here are my questions - Is there a way to remove the 'sight' limitation...meaning, this program seems

Under Preferences, I have entered "5" degrees for Minimum Elevation. Day or evening, the FM birds work well! If you are downloading the "Amateur Radio" set, it's listed as "Echo

i need a list of sats to work anyone have them.. 73 rsy n5iz

What modes are you ready for? If you're ready for 440 band downlink and 2 meter band uplink, then use my tutorial for AO-51 and So-50 at ... http://www.work-sat.com If other modes, use the link to

K, figured it out... The "sight" limitation question was about making it show me birds even if the sun is out. I changed the "Sun Max Elevation" field to "90", I think that did it. I was missing

Ok, so... AO-51 had a pretty good pass just now (for me, anyway >30 degrees). I was able to hear pretty clearly with just my FT-60 and a Diamond SRH77CFA antenna. I have a smiley on order, and I'm

That's the downlink if you're working 1.2gHZ on the uplink. Per the Operations Calendar - October 5 - October 12 AMSAT Symposium week FM Repeater, V/U Uplink: 145.920 MHz FM Downlink: 435.300 MHz

Sorry, I was looking at the Satellite Status page on AmSat and didn't see the bit about the symposium. Does that mean it will go back to 'normal' (below) tomorrow? Mode V/U (J) FM Voice Repeater

It has been in V/U all month ... and with JOTA coming up, I am sure it will maintain either V/U and/or QRP V/U for the next few days. Clint

AO-51 was passing over while I was waiting for my take-out to be ready, so I thought I'd listen in. After finding it, I threw out my call sign just for kicks, wasn't really thinking it would hit the

YOU just caught THE BUG, Ed!!! Got a little tape recorder that you can slip into your shirt pocket? You can record your sessions, and play 'em back later to copy down the callsigns. You'll get to

On tonight's pass at 23:20 I turned the 1268.7/435.15 repeater on. We'll run this along with the 145.92/435.3 repeater for a few days, except when collecting telemetry, until we get the rest of the

Ok, this time for real. It's confusing though...At first I thought everyone was messing up my callsign (KJ6BGS), but there was also a KJ6BBS right down the street (well, in the next city

L/U repeater is back on now. Sorry about switching back and forth twice, I had to go back and fix something. 435.150 is at 450mw, and 435.300 is at 630mw. Friday morning we'll probably switch back to

From the email folder ... - I have the squelch turned off. There is a lot of static emitted from the HT's speaker. Would I be better off to use a headset? Only if the noise bugs folks around you!

Heavens-above.com still calls AO-51 "AO-Echo." Make sure your longitude and latitude are correct ... and your computer's clock is correct ... You can double-check the passes with the data at

From the mail folder ... Clint, Thanks very much for your reply to my AMSAT BB post regarding the Kenwood TH-F6 for AO-51 and SO-50. Prior to your reply I had not considered the Yaesu FT-60R. I

Agreed. There's no "locking" mechanism for audio accessories on the FT-60R and related HTs. I "cured" this by using a Lance Armstrong LIVESTRONG rubbery charity/cause bracelet that fits snugly around

Q. Could you also tell me the name of the rigid SMA to BNC connector that was on your radio? I cannot remember the name. Again, the demo was great and I am really excited to try out satellite
