Falconsat just went over
435.111 MHz to 435.095 MHz doppler corrected using MacDoppler CIV Main VFO
FM 9k6 ON
Signalink USB hooked up to an ICOM 910H with 9k6 turned on and wired for 9k6
Sound modem HS ( High Speed ) set to FSK G3RUH 9600bd
Satellite heard once - too weak to decode - next pass is better
Confirmed system is working - can see 1k2 data in waterfall of sound modem
ETA 1.5 hours 90 Degrees

From playing around today with a standard radio and external interface then
swiping over to a AirSpy Mini, SDR# VB Audio Cable and UI-VIEW
I have a gut feeling the SDR solution is going to win just based on the
local beacon on 432.440 and what I am seeing in the HS sound modem waterfall
I have parked the SDR setup on FalconSat and see what we get
It might be a matter of a Hot SDR doppler corrected and inbuilt sound card
modem in the PC
We will see

I am amazed at the radios, both analog and software defined and decoders
tnc?s and programs that are out there
I really can?t be bothered mapping what works with what
I am convinced dire wolf is the best software defined decoder. It has been
proved against a TNC
I have a Mac Laptop and a Windows Laptop, perl to interface the two
MacDoppler author won?t do TCP IP Freq adjustment and Alex is stuck on TCP
IP doppler adjustment
I just want a single LINUX / Mac based solution that does
+ Satellite tracking
+ Doppler Correction
+ Rotator control
+ Demods 1k2 9k6
+ And passes it to the internet
To do this I have stuff everywhere and its messy
I am hoping one day that will change
Why can?t we have TCP/IP radios ? that demod and doppler correct and decode .
Oh well

Andrew,
You need a pretty decent signal with 9600 to be able to decode and your
X300 vertical isn't going to cut it for satellite work.

Hi all
We are on Holidays in Cyprus and were able to hear the ARISS QSO with Astro
Joe Acaba yesterday from the comfort of the beach near paphos in Cyprus.
We downloaded the question and came up with our own best guess answers

I have 2 or 3 9600 baud capable TNC's at my winter home in Florida. When I
retired and downsized 3 years ago I sold a lot of my ham related stuff. The
TNC's weren't a popular item, but now they are! When I get back down there
in a few weeks for the winter I'm going to bring my IC-9100 with me and get
back on the PACSAT's. I will then have two left, they will be going up for
sale. Price will be very reasonable. Anyone want one let me know off list.

based on discussion with a technician at Tigertronics, the USB signalink
will not allow 9600 baud packet due to the frequency response is too narrow.
He said none of the commercial external soundcards will work with 9600 bd
packet. The only option is to construct a circuit, or use a
9600 baud TNC. (not too many options on that front.)
the Tigertronics website is a bit miss-leading because it ref. 9600 baud on
its wiring diagram. Mine is setup for the 6pin miniDin connector(the pin 4 -
for 9600 bd on my radio dataport- is not connected) for my FT 847. At this
time I can only decode by connecting the 9600 pin on my radio (dataport) to
a line-in to my Laptop soundcard (and not using a isolation circuit).
It would be nice to hear of any solution to this, without buying a $400 TNC
(kantronics 9612).
there are several websites that talk to this issue, here is one of them
