I need to replace the FETs for both: KP-2/2m and KP-2/70cm, I look for
schematics and parts list for these units for some years already and wasn't
able to find anywhere on the Internet. The "mysterious" FET seems to be the
same for KP-2/2m and KP-2/70cm on the circuit (KP-2 rev. B) and it feeds
another FET: J310 for 144Mhz and a J309 for 435MHz. I have couple spares of
MFG1302 and 3SK74, not sure if it would make a good direct replacement ?
Thanks?

I am still using the WXtoIMG software after probably 20 years. There is a

That was interesting,
Nice construction by the way.
But the way the picture loaded.
I remember the old dial up 28K modems where a image would download like
a slow scan picture almost like line by line top to bottom.
That picture loaded from the right to the left, took like a second not a
long time, but thought how weird it can down in like 4 chunks building
from right to left!
Weird,
Here fiber 100 Meg, so not slow.? Huh?

IMHO, I would review the data sheets for the FETS you have, take some
voltage measurements in the inop boxes then see if they might work in the
circuit.
Thete is more to it than that, noise figure, gain, etc but it is a start.

I have a low budget set up, but just to let the folks sending images via
AO-85 that you're getting through, I received pieces of a couple
different images on the most recent pass. One appeared to have a call
starting in NI7 and the other image had the name "Maynard" in it.

As an alternative, Pass can control SDR using http://amsat.org.ar/pass.exe .
After starting pass.exe, run HDSDR, easily found on Internet.
On HDSDR Options select DDE to SDR, and there select Orbitron. (Pass
behaves as Orbitron)
Then when you click on Pass on Falconsat its frequency is sent to SDR
following Dopplers.

The 'grab' function is one of the fundamental features of the pacsat
broadcast protocol used by the original AMSAT 1990 microsats,? uosats
and many other since then.? The concept is that your station records
files that others have requested a download for so multiple stations
don't have to request the same file.? It is considerably more efficient
than sending it over and over to specific stations.? The details are in
Jeff Ward's PhD paper when he was at UoS and are described in the paper
he did for the Small Sat conference - I think in 1991.
Don't forget there is a scripting capability in WiSP that lets you
establish what your station will request a download for, request a
download on a priority basis, grab, and never record. Those can be
established for files based on to or from callsign, file size, key
words, file type, etc.? It is very flexible.? The details for how to use
MSPE Equations are in the WiSP help file.

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students ?
ARISS-US program education proposal deadline is November 15, 2017
September 18, 2017: The Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) program is seeking proposals from U.S. schools,
museums, science centers and community youth organizations to host
radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International
Space Station (ISS) between July 1 and December 31, 2018.
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with oppor-
tunities to learn about space technologies and space communications
through the exploration of Amateur Radio. The program provides
learning opportunities by connecting students to astronauts aboard
the International Space Station (ISS) through a partnership between
NASA, the American Radio Relay League, the Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation and other Amateur Radio organizations and worldwide
space agencies. The program?s goal is to inspire students worldwide,
to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) through Amateur Radio.
Educators overwhelmingly report that student participation in the
ARISS program inspires an interest in STEM subjects and in STEM
careers. Ninety-two percent of educators who have participated in
the program have indicated that ARISS provided ideas for encourag-
ing student exploration, discussion, and participation, and 78
percent said that ARISS was effective in stimulating student
interest in STEM.
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers
of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications,
wireless technology, science research conducted on the space
station, what it is like to work in space, radio science, and any
related STEM subject. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk
directly to an astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions.
ARISS will help educational organizations locate Amateur Radio
groups who can assist with equipment for this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for students.
The proposal deadline for 2018 contacts is November 15, 2017.
The ARISS website has additional details on expectations, proposal
guidelines, and the proposal form. See:

Several of you have sent me emails asking about the RAC ARISS website and
not being able to get in. That has now been changed to
http://www.ariss.org/
Note that there are links to other ARISS websites from this site.
