With the ISS digipeater down and NO-84 and NO-44 only slightly
operational, are there any other birds that can do APRS digipeating on
145.825? What ever happened with BHUTAN-1 and MAYA-1? Weren't they
supposed to be APRS digipeater capable?

IO-86 has APRS digi onboard, but only activated once a day due to secondary
payload on the LAPAN A2/ORARI sattelite.

I would like to find out which unit has a better tracking for doppler and
general connectivity over all.
I have been fighting with this TS 2000 keeping my connection with the pc
going.
I am about ready to deep six this thing.
I have gone to a true IO card for the serial connection,  Not a USB
converter, changed the speeds to match in the settings in both radio and
pc.  tried different ports and things like that and at times it will track
fair and then other times it does not do anything.
I have restarted the pc and the radios, shut them both off and then
restarted and still, I am having issues.
I would like to have a rig that is going to work with Satpc32 in a
reasonable fashion.
Just keeping this thing working is taking the fun out of trying to get on
with the birds and ready to change if it is going to work better.
However, I am looking at general input from those that have used these rigs
and if they have had good luck with them or if I am asking for something
out in left field.

Thank you.

Jim

Hi Jim, I?ve been fortunate that both of those rigs have worked wonderfully
in my shack with SatPC32.  Wonder where the issue is?  I know it doesn?t
help much,, but maybe it is unique to your particular setup.  Neither radio
took any fussing for me.  Any chance you can try the rig at another nearby
ham?s shack?

The only thing that I can do is try a different computer to see if that
might work, however, I don't think it is that.  There is something to do
with the linking between the 2 units.
The only other thing is maybe the computer is much to fast for the
software.  It is also a 64 bit machine running at 4 gig.  Ram is not an
issue either, that is at 16.
It is a I7 running at 4.0 gig no over clock or anything like that either.
Maybe I will get into the bios to see if there is something there that
might help.

I don't think the computer being "too fast" is likely an issue. That may
have been a thing decades ago but it isn't anymore.

Can you get access to another TS-2000 to see if the issue is the radio?
