Some great information, JoAnne. I'm on Linux and use Direwolf instead of
Soundmodem. In the Direwolf config file you will have to enter your call
and the paths to your incoming and outgoing sound sources. After that
you are set, so there is not much to it.

Message-ID: <56eb7ba1b1ed0e238bebffd7031f00aa@????.?????.???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"
I just added IO-86 to my APRS Satellite page: http://aprs.org/sats.html
Its telemetry is in standard APRS format and users should also show up on
the user link page on FINDU.
With a 5W output this should be the strongest APRS satellite on 145.825 MHz.
Did I get all the links right?
But you have to be below 30 deg latitude to ever be in the footprint. But
if you were on the equatior you would get 14 passes a day every 110 minutes
all day long!!
Are there any other APRS digipeating satellites that I have overlooked?
It looks like a standard APRS digipeater, but I don?t see the usual generic
ARISS or APRSAT digipeat aliases... So I guess this means you have to user
the YB0X-1 callsign to digipeat?

Since I also added a telemetry counter, it looks like (IO-86) Resets the
telemetry counter about every 20 minuites or so and then has big gaps up to
12 hours or so. Since an equatorial orbit should have maybe a 65 minutes in
the sun and 35 minutes in eclipse, does this mean it takes almost 40 minutes
in the sun on each orbit to have enough power to transmit, and then only
lasts until the next eclipse?
Or is there a better explasnation?

Slight correction:
> UNPROTO CQ VIA <satellite-callsign> such as CQ VIA ARISS, RS0ISS, PSAT,
LU7AA-1, etc.
Can be confusing. The digipeater path <satellite callsign> should only
have one callsign in it. Either the desired digipeating satellite's call,
or the generic ARISS or APRSAT. There is no value to putting in more than
one, it only makes the packet longer and will never get executed. *
*Unless you are trying for a LIVE -dual HOP experiment. Then both
satellites have to be in view and you must get the sequence in the right
order as to which one is closer. Etc. The probability is so low, it is
not worth burdening the 99.999% of your packets with two hops when 0.0001
might be successful. So far, in 4 years I have still not seen a single
successful dual hop.

Subject: Re: [amsat-bb] How to digipeat?
I thought I'd toss out a few more hints to help folks trying to figure out
how to get UISS to speak satellite packet. This is pretty much UISS
specific detail. Make sure you have your station setup the way Scott and
Hans have discussed.
Setup your TNC with the MYCALL command. When you setup UISS the call sign
you enter during setup will be your MYCALL parameter.
Most of 145.825 MHz digipeater satellites use the AX.25 UI protocol You
setup this protocol with the command:
UNPROTO CQ VIA <satellite-callsign> such as CQ VIA ARISS, RS0ISS, PSAT,
LU7AA-1, etc.
You can enter these parameters in UISS in the top-left of the screen in
the "To" and "Via" windows. Set "To:" as CQ and "Via" as the call sign of
the satellite you are working.
In the UISS 'Tx Text' window (the top text windows) enter:
=Lat/Long-Message-to-digipeat -or- in my case near Chicago I use:
=4211.29N/08827.08W-Greetings :-) You need the = and - in your message
string. The dash displays your icon as the house on the map.
To transmit your packet to the satellite click on the UISS Text/Data
button and this should then trigger your transmitter. Folks use vari- ous
combinations of PTT controls or VOX to trigger their transmitter
- use whatever works for you.
The shorter your message the better chance you have of getting digi-
peated if lots of stations are causing packet collisions.
Additional terrestrial packet routes such as WIDE1-1, WIDE2-1, etc.
are not useful for space digipeating. Your target is the APRS satel- lite
on 145.825 not the terrestrials on 144.390. The satellite digi- peats to
us earthlings (and the SatGates) listening on 145.825. You aren't trying
to tell every APRS station on 144.390 within hundreds of miles where you
are driving.
Adding all the WIDE strings also has the effect of making your packet
longer, decreasing your success of getting digipeated on a busy pass.
A lot of UISS setups document using AGWPE for your packet modem. This is a
tried and true packet engine. Many of found that the UZ7HO soft- ware
packet modem gives better performance especially when receiving.
Your software packet modem will expect to receive the entire packet
transmission with no errors - the correct checksum for it to be dis-
played on your computer. Often you hear "good sounding" packets but if you
aren't receiving the whole kahuna with correct checksum you won't get the
message displayed. The same generally applies to the SatGate stations
listening to the activity and gating it on to the web.
The UISS program will require settings to be changed to operate with UZ7HO
Soundmodem: In UISS top menu select Setup -> UISS -> LAN Click 'Enable LAN
Mode'
In LAN setup click on 'Enable LAN Mode' Host 127.0.0.1 AGWPort 8000
UISS may ask you to restart, go ahead and restart UISS.
For normal operation start the UZ7HO Soundmodem first. Then start UISS.
When both programs are running UISS will show it has connected with the
Soundmodem:

Bob,
Possibly because IO-86 operates on a schedule and the digipeater is only on
for certain periods.
The team just posted the latest weekly schedule at

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
I'm working with an author of a logging program. What he is trying to do is
integrate his logging program with SatPC32. One of his test radio's that he
is using is an old first edition IC-706. He is having a problem getting his
copy of SatPC32 to work with the IC-706. I'm pretty sure that the original
706 will work but honestly have never have done it myself, or seen it done.
I can take a educated guess myself, but I would li9ke to hear from someone
who actually has done this setup. Did anyone on one here do this? If so can
they send me the SatPC32 radio setup info, and any pertinent 706 menu items
that have to be set? Thanks in advance.

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hi Folks,
Following a query from Scott on this bb, I like Nova and so I decided that I
would investigate.
I managed to install Windows 10 on my old Toshiba laptop.
I found that it didn't like big capacity USB sticks (again).
NOVA: See: https://www.nlsa.com/
If I installed Nova from the setup.exe, the program would run quite happily.
I then tried installing the patch.exe and got this error message.
?Exception ERegistryException in module NfW32.exe at 0007B3EA. Failed to set
data for ?. ?
Deleting and reinstalling setup.exe with the repair option, fixed the error
and it now runs OK.
This may help other people who have had this problem, see:
