Word on the street is that the digipeater is indeed switched on, but is
just not working. I have not yet had an opportunity to set up and listen
for it to see if it's off completely, or if the packets are just so bad as
to be un-decodable by any software.
I can tell you that prior to being shut off the last time, the packets -
while decodable - were drifting in frequency pretty noticeably. There was
a serious "slant" in the packets when viewed on a waterfall - and this was
most definitely NOT due to doppler. Yet my Kenwood and Direwolf had no
problems decoding them. I'm wondering if the digi is in fact beaconing
and digipeating, but the packets are just so bad now that nothing can
decode them?
Interested to see if anybody has noticed anything at all (even if it was
pure silence)? Plenty of "not heard" reports on the Amsat status page - I
assume those were more than just "nothing showed up on my satgate report
and/or ariss.net".

Talk about coincidence...
I was comparing my notes and going over the UZ7HO modem setup as well as
VSP setup when your message came through -- just worked a Falconsat with
the VSP NVT disabled and all is fine.

Just a reminder for those using Wisp, HW VSP and the UZ7HO modem to work
Falconsat:
Make sure NVT is disabled under the VSP settings tab. If enabled, it
will send unwanted data to the satellite causing the directory request

I have kept the volume up on the radio during all the passes that I've
attempted and heard zero. No packet-sounding data bursts nor any sound of
anything to indicate that there was a radio transmitting at all.

Notes
- I've had a few people ask about FN66.? My "mission" is to make sure NP4JV
gets FN65 to complete his 488.? If we accomplish that on one of the Thursday
afternoon passes, then I will use some or all of the Friday morning FN65
passes to operate from FN66 instead.
- As I stated above, the purpose of my trip to FN65 is to make sure Fernando
gets it for the FFMA.? You can help too.? If you hear NP4JV calling me, or
hear me calling him, please kindly wait while we complete this important
QSO.? After that I'll take as many callers as I can.? The quieter it is, the
quicker we can get this done.? Thanks in advance!
- K4FEG told me he needs FN68, so I'm going there.? I don't know of anyone
else who has this in their log, so it should be fun!
- K6FW needs FN35/45, so I'm making a stop there for a few passes on my
return trip.
- See what happens when you post your grid maps and send your requests to me?

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hi Folks,
I?m trying to resurrect my old Alinco DJ-580 for use on AO-85/91.
When using the DC supply socket on the side with a 9 V plug pack,
I?m finding that the Rx audio output is very low (the nicad pack has at
least 1 dead cell).
Is anyone still using one of these radios and if so how well does it perform?

Hi Terry,
Well, the small NiCd battery pack on my DJ-580 has a nominal 7.2 volt
rating (when years ago it would hold a charge, that is), so a 9v supply
should be plenty for proper operation. You won't get the full 5 watts
out, but receive audio should be unaffected.
Perhaps the audio connectors might be dirty? Also, recall that there is
a difference between the V.U.SP jack on the left, and the SP jack in the
middle, with a stereo plug required for the V.U.SP jack. Which are you
using? Volume control still work (no dirty wiper contacts)?
I've not used the radio for some years now, though it does still power
up with external power... Might be worth dusting off, since it is full
duplex.

Hi Terry,
About 3 years ago, I attempted to use my decades old Alinco DJ-580 to get me
started in Sats with SO-50.? (I have the large 12V battery to get the full 5
watt output). I found the DJ-580 had less than stellar receiver sensitivity
and was cumbersome in trying to get the memories set up without having to
continue to push either the UHF or VHF buttons to change freqs with
Doppler.? In the end, I gave up with trying to use it for satellite. After a
long hiatus, this past April, I purchased a Yaesu FT-60-R and receiver
sensitively was like night and day and subsequently had great success on FM
birds.
I still have the DJ-580 and have considered using it for TX only and the
FT-60R to achieve full duplex.? Otherwise it is destined for my grave-yard
box. ?

Good evening fellow satelliteers!
Finally, I was able to connect with an operator in FN65!
Today, I had the privilege of working Ken, VE3HLS, on XW-2B during his trip
to New Brunswick. We completed our QSO when the satellite was at 2? for me.
I would like to publicly express my gratitude to Ken for going out of his
way to help bring down the "white whale", and last grid needed in the 488
CONUS.
I want to also thank all the satellite operators that made this possible.
All credit goes to them! Extra thanks to all those who travelled and helped
with multiple grid squares. This has been a fun and exciting 2 years and 3
months of operating Ham Radio Satellites.

One other thing regarding the DJ-580 to be aware of, is the tendency for
the center conductor of the antenna connector to break free from the PC
board. It's a result of the BNC coming a bit loose from the case and
rotating. Not too hard to fix, but you have to dig really deep into the
radio to do it (the Tx board is at the bottom of the stack). Then put
some locking glue around the BNC.
But that won't affect the receive audio level, per se, presuming you can
still get a quieting signal into the rig.
With the agile receiver on AO-91, I wonder if the manual adjustment for
Doppler might not be quite so difficult?
