Mike, You need to transmit a 74.4 Hz tone for 2 seconds to activate SO-50. Then it’s active for 10 minutes and can be accessed using the 67.0 Hz tone. If you’re in an RF noisy environment, SO-50 is go

Not true. AO-91 and AO-92 can't run for very long periods due to the batteries being near end of life, but will still be turned on as long as the battery status permits. GOLF-TEE will be complete by t

No, the only beacon transmission is the 1200 baud BPSK telemetry. It will sound much like the various FUNcube satellites with a BPSK telemetry channel and a transponder. 73, Paul, N8HM On Thu, Dec 3,

Yes. Obviously there are many satellites that do not have OSCAR numbers and they work fine. We will have to change the AMSAT OSCAR Satellite Status Page soon to no longer use AO-98 and AO-99 as dummie

What you are hearing is likely the telemetry downlinks of either the XW-2 series or CAS-4 series of satellites. Those satellites all have two-way amateur radio transponders. We certainly would not wan

In a standard ADIF log, the band field should be logged as the transmit band. However, you should also have the receive band field populated as well as the satellite name field. The propagation mode f

The AMSAT keps distribution has a typo and lists it as SAMSat-1. As far as the AMSAT website, all content regarding satellite operational status, frequencies, etc. is updated as quickly as possible (b

Your diplexer can, but the internal diplexer that Arrow Antennas provides to fit in the handle only supports 10 watts. 73, Paul, N8HM
