Hi Kevin and others,
perhaps you want to try the older version of ServerSDX.exe whether it
works better. This version only outputs az and el to the controller but
doesn't read the actual position as the newer version does (the reading
function was a suggestion of a user who worked the program remotely so
that he could no see his antenna).
The older file can be downlaoded here:
www.dk1tb.de/ServerSDX.exe
First save your present file, for example rename it, then copy the
downloaded file into the sub folder SDX of the SatPC32 program folder.

Hi,
I had similar problem in the past whereby the SDX will not respond.
The issue was not the SDX but the cheap USB-Serial converter using Prolific
chip, I tried a few of these and same symptoms. This was particularly
annoying when in the middle of the QSO, having to close everything, restart
the computer (sometimes a few times) to get it again working.
I finally bought a good quality 4-Way RS232 to USB with FTDI chip and now
using only one USB port for Rotor, CAT and GPS clock, no more issue.
May be above can help.

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more informa
tion, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

Hi All,
Just to confirm that AO73 is now in education mode (full power beacon only,
no transponder). We have set this mode as the satellite is about to enter a
period of continuous sunlight (for about 9 months). There is more

In my installation I am using a USB port on the rear of the computer to
the ERC interface.? No RS-232 ports involved.? Mine has never locked up
during operation.? Only time I have an issue is after a period of
inactivity IE. overnight.? I then use Windows Task Manager to close both
SatPC32 and SDX and relaunch the programs.? Don't have to restart the
computer.

Australia, Australia on 12 Sept. The event is scheduled to begin at
approximately 08:21 UTC. It is recommended that you start listening
approximately 10 minutes before this time.The duration of the contact is
approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge
between NA1SS and W6SRJ. The contact should be audible over portions of
Australia and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on

Walford is a dynamic girls' school offering a friendly, family-orientated
environment where each student is encouraged to be the best she can be.
Progressive teaching and guidance are provided in state-of-the-art
facilities to provide our students with the very best preparation to follow
their future ambitions. Our school is a vibrant community where learning is
prioritised and lifelong friendships formed. Our campus is designed to
facilitate positive interactions across year levels and to provide the sense
of belonging and connectedness that each girl should feel with her school.

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more informa
tion, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

You might want to check your power management settings. Some USB port
drivers don't properly handle the situation of getting put to sleep with a
device attached and then properly waking back up, and that could be
confusing anything talking to the COM port the USB device is representing.
For my "ham" laptop, I normally keep it plugged into my docking station, so
I have a custom power management profile that disallows sleeping or
hibernating when docked/plugged in. I still turn the display off after a few
minutes, but I make sure that the CPU, network, and drives are not powered
down when I'm plugged in. This made a lot of my USB-related gremlins go
away, even on cheaper USB chipsets.

In my installation I am using a USB port on the rear of the computer to
the ERC interface. No RS-232 ports involved. Mine has never locked up
during operation. Only time I have an issue is after a period of
inactivity IE. overnight. I then use Windows Task Manager to close both
SatPC32 and SDX and relaunch the programs. Don't have to restart the
computer.

he could no see his antenna).
