All,
A new unknown satellite has appeared which has a downlink near
435.085 MHz with 1200 bps FSK AX.25 telemetry. Detailed doppler
measurements show that this satellite is object 43116, 2018-004F.
Probably this is INS 1C, which was launched together with AO 92.
To be confirmed.
73,
Nico PA0DLO

Hi,
did you also choose Yaesu mode in the controller setup and did you
specify COM port and baud rate in the ServerSDX setup window?
SatPC32 supports also the Rot2 mode of the AlfaSpid rotors which is
supported by all AlfaSpid models.? To test it? choose? item 'AlfaSpid'
from the ist of supportd controllers (menu 'Rotor Setup'), click the
upper 'Store' button and restart SatPC32.? Then specify the COM port in
the ServerSpid setup window. The baudrate is fix 600.

Hi Shakeel,
I have a bit of experience with the Alfa Spid systems, so hopefully this
might help. First question is what type of controller are you using? We
use the MD-01s at Virginia Tech (MD-02s would be behave the same), but I
believe there is another controller option for these types of rotators (not
sure if they have the same config settings in the other model, also not sure
what the model designation is).
I can say for sure that the protocol for communicating with a RAS (alfa
spid) rotator and a yaesu rotator are completely different. I personally
don't use SatPC32, so I'm not sure if there is an option in there for
changing it to one of the spid protocols. We have our MD-01s configured to
communicate using the spid 'Rot2Prog' interface. So if you see anything
like that in the SatPC32 options, try using that instead of yaesu.
Alternatively, I *think* the MD-01s have a protocol config for emulating
Yaesu systems. If you hunt through the manuals/settings on the rotator
controller there may be an option for selecting yaesu. I'm not 100% sure,
but it is possible that even if the option is in the controller for Yaesu,
depending on your model and firmware version it might still not work (even
though the option is in there, it might be for 'future use'). This is not
something I've personally tested since we got the Rot2Prog interface
working, but might be worth trying if SatPC32 doesn't have the configs for
spid systems.
There is also an 'MD-01' option in the MD-01 rotator controller that exposes
more advanced options to the control program......in my experience this is
spotty and 'beta' firmware, and personally i don't trust it (though we
interface with custom software, so the problems there could easily be
entirely my fault in our SW).
Finally, at least for MD-01s, there is a configuration option that needs to
be set to 'activate' the comm port setting. We actually use the Ethernet
module in our systems, but you might want to make sure that the equivalent
setting for the serial port is 'enabled' on your controller. In that same
vein make sure you have the right port settings in there as well (baud rate,
stop bits, etc.)
And last bit of advice (and I don't mean this to be snarky, as referenced in
the other thread about linux mailing lists) is carefully read the manuals
and make sure you have the correct manuals for all the settings I mentioned
above. I bring this up from personal experience because I *didn't*
carefully read the manual and wasted a bunch of time because I didn't have
the right settings on the controller. Also, I bring this up because the
manuals from Spid are a bit difficult to read through and sometimes not
totally clear. Further compounding the problem is that there are a few
organizations involved with these systems and they each have their own
manuals (I'm still not sure who does what between Alfa Spid in Canada and
Spid Elektronik in Poland and I think theres one more group somewhere else).
The manuals can be found here: http://www.alfaradio.ca/downloads/ (pretty
accurate and I believe current) and also here if you have an MD-01/02
(careful, this link is a direct download of
the pdf):
https://www.haystack.mit.edu/edu/undergrad/srt/pdf%20files/MD-01%20en.pdf.
Summary: I recommend using the Rot2Prog protocol on the controller (tried
and true, been in use for a long time, so most 'beta' issues have been
sorted). Then, if possible, I'd try to see if SatPC32 has a controller
option for 'spid' or 'rot2prog' or something along those lines instead of
yaesu. Finally, I believe there is a windows based client application that
can be used to interface with the controller (at least there is for the
MD-01s). I'd recommend using that first with the controller to sort out all
the settings and make sure it is working over the com port first, then try
to switch over to using SatPC32 (I think the windows client can also act as
a DDE client, so maybe it can be used in conjunction with SatPC32 over a DDE
link).
For me there were lots of config testing and changes, sort of one at a time,
until all the stars aligned and it started working.
Good luck! Hopefully this is helpful. Let us know if you have more questions.
-Zach, KJ4QLP
