Alan,

Tomorrow I am retrieving my IC7300 from our contest site.  I have a CT-17
hooked up to my IC-910H.  I will plug the IC-7300 in as Radio 2 and see
what happens using the settings for the IC-9100.

Yes, works fine! Running my IC-R8600 as 1st radio (RX) and the IC-7300 on
28MHz as 2nd radio as TX radio in SatPC32. Getting ready for 2m/70cm
transverter use :-)

Email me offline for specific configuration and settings in SatPc32.

Icom have retained backward compatibility in their basic command set (which
is one of the reasons why their commands are hideous hex strings rather than
more human readable commands).

So as long as you have the hex address correctly and have the rig selection
as "others" it should work.

The specific radio selection will introduce non generic commands for
satellite mode and updating sub/main bands et cetera

I?m all for a microwave repeater in GEO. You have to realize not only pros
will be attempting this and while some of you might have all the gear ready
to go it would be quite a challenge for those starting from the beginning. 
I?d love to have a receive setup for the GOES sats a longer but again. It?s
not a easy setup for just anyone to accomplish. There is a lot to learn in
the process.

Every one of you has a perfectly good reason to build (or buy) an expensive
or inexpensive microwave stations right now, whether it is for the
satellite  or terrestrial radio services.

It's called, 10000's of MHz of unused and unexplored spectrum above 1 GHz.

The radio spectrum is a finite resource . However, nowdays it is being sold
off to the highest bidder which benefits a few companies so they can make
billions in annual revenue.

Basically use it or loose it.


There are not many satellites with microwave transponders now,  but in the
future?


Why wait for a satellite to be designed/launched?
Put something on the air for terrestrial use now. Explore and learn the
propagation quirks of the bands. Learn to appreciate what it takes to aim
an antenna that has less than 3 degrees beamwidth on a fixed target beyond
the line of sight.
When the time comes and a sat is put into service using
microwave/millimeterwave uplinks/downlinks you may be a head of the curve
and we may still have band(s) to use.

Less bloat, more "go". The Internet has regressed, in this regard.

I wrote a Perl module to control my IC-746Pro via CI-V in less than a

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

Went out with a bunch of students to observe ISS SSTV downlink.
ISS was transmitting but I demonstrated how not to do a pass:

OLD FUD Approach:

1) Prepped the laptop.  Battery was dead
2) rigged up heavy battery and 60 Hz inverter (1 hr to go)
3) Booted laptop but it was locked out of network
4) After three tires at password, it locked me out of all my accounts on
every PC at the school
5) Gave up and dug out a Kenwood VC-H1 SSTV handheld to go with a TH-D72
(30m to AOS)
6) VC-H1 batteries were of course dead
7) Found new batteries (10m to AOS)
8) From 20 years ago, had a hard time remembering how to work it
9) Nothing heard at beginning with 3 element yagi
10) commented how this is not unusual for ISS to change schedules
11) Then heard it, but too weak
12) I explained how to track in AZ and EL and Polarity to maximize the
signal
13) Had to keep asking the mids for the TIME so I knew where to point

MELINNIAL APPROACH:

MEANWHILE I noticed some of the students holding their Phones in their
hands at arms length and waving them around.  They pointed to ISS... The
phones showed exactl;y where the ISS was as the AP placed the ISS and sky
track  on the sky view.   Done!

Im sure most of you are well aware of these things, but for the other old
fuds:

The AP was SKYGUIDE:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sky-guide/id576588894
And SKYWALK:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/star-walk-explore-the-sky/id295430577
I am sure there are others.

Time for me to get out of the way... ;-(

I?m also a newcomer to the birds, but very excited about it. Likewise, I
responded to the survey, but wanted to comment further regarding
geostationary and HEO satellites.

In the camp of ?Both, please.? The HEO birds would once again offer the
possibility of DXCC and make WAS more realistic?it also offers more
operating challenges.

But a geostationary amateur satellite would have many interesting benefits:

Provide an easier introduction to satellite operation, and attract new
operators.
Excellent tool for emergency communications during a natural disaster.
Opportunity to experiment with microwave operations.
The ability to enjoy satellite operation any time of the day/night. The band
is always open.

I?m grateful for anyone who incorporates amateur radio into their
satellites, but feel that birds should include either linear, digital, or FM
transponders whenever possible. Designers are asking a lot of hams when they
solicit our monitoring their telemetry signals, and using amateur spectrum
for their purposes without much tangible benefit to us. My opinion only.

It?s wonderful that they asked us. Dialogue is the key to most human
accomplishment.

This to me is the real ham radio experience.  I remember all that stuff from
my
SWl days and ham radio for almost 60 years now.  I am still doing it that
way with
EME on 23cm.

Now the new way they know nothing...soon there will be an app (if there isn't
already) to work the sats with a dongle and the portable device...but the user
will know nothing.

With all the conversation lately on here lately it appears most tend to be an
appliance operator and it should be like a local repeater.

I guess my age is showing but I remember the bit about the ham who did
eveything
AUTO in their shack...including the card...but was never home.

Sorry to vent here but I miss the old days of trial,error and experiment to
learn.

Downloaded MMSTV  to prepare for iss . I do not see pd 120 listed as a mode.
Is the the correct software to use?

My set up is satpc32 controlling ft817 and ic7100 for No. 2 radio and g5500
rotor.

will I be able to run sat32 for tracking and also sstv for the picture? I
presume yes.

For MMSSTV just set it to Auto and the software will pick pd120 once it
picks up the signal. It's not one of the visible buttons, but the mode
is in there and the software will decode it.

(Can't help you with the sat32 question. Sorry!)
