Security theater. Obviously all the governments that we don't want
knowing exactly what orbit the primary payload(s) on that flight are
in have their own tracking systems.

Can anyone help me get my Yaesu FT-736R to run on SatPC32?? I bought a
cable that will link the radio to the pc (via USB). But all it does is
automatically puts the radio in "CAT mode" and doesn't change
frequencies, when I shut it down, my radio is locked up and have to
power cycle to get it out of CAT mode. What settings do I need to change
in SatPC32?
I have been working on this for months to figure it out, I want to get
back on birds. I am getting a little frustrated with this radio.
Thanks for any advice

This is a bit of a shot in the dark, but I was reading the Mac Doppler
manual today trying to figure out something unrelated, and it
mentioned the FT-736R had a problem related to CAT mode. Here is the
text from the manual, perhaps it is relevant:
"Due to a problem with the FT-736R (see note in FT-736R manual page 36
bottom left) you may have to take MacDoppler out of CAT mode, press
the REV key on the FT-736R front panel, and return to CAT mode when
switching between mode U/V and V/U in Full Duplex, for example:
switching from FO-20 to AO-10 and back. The SAT switch must be in one
of the full duplex positions for this to work. Alternately, you could
take MacDoppler out of CAT mode, use the VFO buttons to switch from
U/V to V/U, and then turn CAT mode back on - this will only work if
you have one VFO set to U/V and the other VFO set to V/U. If you have
other modules installed in the FT- 736R, you can set the
'BetweenPasses' frequencies in the modes editor to something these
other modules can tune and that way allow switching from U to V and V
to U automatically when the satellite changes. It does this to avoid
trying to set VFO A and B to the same band. The FT-847, as originally
delivered (before sn 8G052xxx), could not poll the radio for frequency
and mode information. This was added beginning with the 8G05
production runs."

Message-ID: <2047498206.447320.1512246952817@xxxx.xxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
I have checked the 5K0T clublog and see that I have 2 QSOs there (wasn't
sure he got my call on the first pass, was at LOS), but when I go to enter
the times to make a QSL request, it says the times are not correct. So I
e-mailed the QSL manager and he sent me back the log entries from Ham Radio
Deluxe. He shows the times exactly two hours ahead of what I have. So I have
checked my tracking programs and I show no passes at the times his logs
show, rather my times show as correct. Has anyone else that made a QSO with
5K0T tried to enter their times in Clublog to see if they are correct?? If
you were successful, which pass was it? My passes were 2017-11-22 2029 and
2055z.
So I e-mailed him back to tell him I think maybe there is a problem with
either the computer that the log was recorded on or with the HRD program,
etc., and his reply was simply, 'I use UTC times'. I made up some screen
shots of my Orbitron for both his times and my times and sent them to him,
but whether he will get the attachments is yet to be seen. It would just be
good to know (for confidence level) if anyone else encounters the same
problem. (Or am I just royally messed up and not seeing it.)
Thanks in advance, feel free to reply on or off list. 73, Kevin N4UFO

I want to say a special thanks to Steve NS3L. I called Steve and we
determined I had the wrong cable from the radio to the pc. I bought a
programming cable instead of a CAT interface cable. He is sending me a
cable to use until I can buy a new one. Thanks to all who has given me

Greg,
I have found that the URL you provided does not appear to work with
Gpredict.? I have found that the following URL does work:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftp/keps/current/nasabare.txt
I don't know why http works and https doesn't, but that is my
experience with Gpredict.
73,

could not find AO-85 (FOX-1A) in satellites listed. Even AO-91 is in the
current list. Can it be under some other name? I found a way to add a bird
but looks like a pain to update. Easy way? And if AO-91 is in the list why
was AO-85 left out?TNX 73 Mike K4MIA

Hi Mac,
Hmmpf. No idea.
Helping another Ham, we found that his version of GPredict needed to
have the server URL on one line (without the nasabare.txt part), and the
file name (nasabare.txt) on a different line. He has v1.4 on Windows,
I'm on v1.3.something on Linux.
The data isn't all that sensitive, so I wouldn't be too concerned about
the lack of SSL security, but it's still odd... For what it's worth,
all the pre-configured URLs for Celestrak are http-no-s also. I think I
just did a copy/paste from the Amsat site when configuring mine.
Enjoy!
