George,
Is AO-91 in the copy of nasabare.txt that you have? Try deleting that file
and then restart FoxTelem. It should download the latest.

I'm using the keps from nasabare.txt, and when I toggle AFC on the rig, the
frequency doesn't budge from that calculated by SatPC32, so they appear to
be right on the money...

Hi all,
Today 21st November 2017 is a 4th birthday for FUNcube-1 ( AO- 73 ) since
its launch in the year 2013.
"Congratulations and HAPPY BIRTHDAY "
The satellite has been a key player for me not only with many contacts, but
also for its role in demonstrations,exhibitions and STEM
related work.
I? therefore offer my thanks and appreciation to all that have been involved
in the project including radio amateurs for the contacts.
Their valuable time and effort, dedication and work, has been an inspiration
for our hobby and education.
Likewise may I also offer my congratulations to the FOX - RadFX? (AO-91)?
project and launch teams on the recent success.
Indeed many projects have or will be key players in our hobby.
A big "THANKYOU" -? Long may they continue as partners in our hobby and
studies in science and technology.

I have a python script that emulates a simple hamlib server (which does
some conversion to control SDRSharp) that GPredict can use.
you can find it here:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/5v6x87kv4kq02g7/AAANexHJ6L4MgCRalXkOq5wta?dl=0
It has lots of comments and should be clear how it works.
Should run on Windows or Linux (careful on Linux with newlines, you may
have to copy-paste into a new document to get the formatting to line up)
I use it all of the time running Gpredict and this script on a Raspberry
pi which then controls SDRSharp running on a Windows 10 machine
elsewhere on my small network.
cheers, Graham ve3gtc

SAT Gridders,
TNX for all the Q's last night from EM67/68. Tonight, I'll
be in northern MS, then to northern LA until after Thanksgiving.
My return route to the home QTH will be similar. Operation
will be strictly Holiday-Style (HIHI). QSOs will be uploaded
to LoTW when we get back in EN91 the first week of December.
Also, TNX to KG5CCI for posting the SO50 pass recording from
last night on Twitter! It was the first time my XYL was able
to actually hear one of my Rover activations as if it was happening
real time. Previously, she had only heard the noisey & garbled audio
from my little digital recorder.? :o)

A lot of people here know all this but I wrote it up for those that may not.
Please feel free to share in communities that may not know as much
about satellites (or those that do!). My hope is it will help spread
the excitement about this bird and ham radio space communications.
Thank you to everyone in AMSAT-NA for making this bird a reality.

Detailed doppler measurements confirm that NASA's scientific

It has a data downlink on 437.095 MHz.

eat-bird/
A lot of people here know all this but I wrote it up for those that may not.
Please feel free to share in communities that may not know as much about
satellites (or those that do!). My hope is it will help spread the
excitement about this bird and ham radio space communications.
Thank you to everyone in AMSAT-NA for making this bird a reality.
73, John Brier KG4AKV

Good morning fellow satelliteers!
Just a reminder that an Argentinian team featuring LU3YK, LU5FF, LU7VB,
LU7YS, LU8YD and LU9VEA will be active from San Cristobal, Galapagos
Islands (Grid EI59) as *HC8LUT* between November 29 to December 8,
2017.They plan to operate HF-6m and satellites. The focus on satellites
will be on AO-7, FO-29 and FM satellites (including AO-91 if available).
I have been in contact with Alejandro, LU8YD, and he informed me that they
will use a pair of Icom IC-7000, through a 5 elements VHF and 10 elements
UHF yagis. Satellite ops will be secondary since the radios will be shared
with the HF operation. They will try work as many passes as they can, with
good coverage towards the United States.
Please keep it civil and avoid working them repeatedly. Let's give
everybody a chance!
I will be in touch with the team during the expedition and will try to pass
as much information as I can.
Confirmations will be available on LoTW, Clublog and EQSL.
Have a great day
Fernando, NP4JV

Here's what I loaded:
AO-91,145960,435250,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,67 Hz tone required
I would expect the uplink (435250) to get adjusted a little after we are
allowed full access to the bird.
