Good Morning!
?What do the headings "TOTAL"? and "LAST 7 DAYS" mean on the FOX TELEM
LEADERBOARD.? "LAST 7 DAYS" is obvious.? My numbers keep bouncing
around,? that's expected.?? But, NOW, ? my? "TOTAL" number bounces
around too.? Shouldn't they be constantly increasing.? Also at the end
of? February I had number about 12500 after several months of ever
increasing numbers.? But on March 3, I had only 8600 and they have been
bouncing ever since. On March 10 I have 8533 after 1845 frames/payloads.
In March, thanks to the kind and expert help of Burns Fisher, WB1FJ, I
started using a FIAB setup.?? Does that have anything to do the drop and
bounce ??
Thanks, I'm going back to bed.

Certainly something wrong with the Fox server receiving HuskySat-1 "live"
data
I just received and uploaded 65 frames and the Leaderboard did not update
at all ??
Its been like this for a few days now.

Morning Jim,
The key word is "Monthly" at the top. The window is a sliding one, and the
"TOTAL" and other columns are for frames in that monthly window. For
clarity, it should perhaps read "Monthly TOTAL," but the columns are a bit
crowded.
At the bottom left, if you click on "Show all-time leaderboard" you will see
numbers which only increase.
73,
Alan
WA4SCA

I want to share something for those new operators. Old farts can jump in
with 'I told you so!' LOL
I know this has been stressed before, but I wanted to share an uplink power
experience.
I am using a 7 Element Quad on UHF. There are times that I have to dial
down the UHF uplink power on the IC-9700 to 1% and even then I think that
is too much signal. Case in point was this morning working CAS-4A.
For those IC-9700 operators, I highly suggest that you keep the Multi-Knob
focussed on RF power and adjust as required. This will of course limit
your ability to use the RIT since it is hard to use both at the same time.
It is unfortunate that I can't seem to use the waterfall on the IC-9700 to
also see the beacon in the panadapter. It isn't a 'width' issue but a gain
issue. I already have my REF set to +12db.
I'm always open to suggestions.

I just want to acknowledge that I have seen the messages here and will
investigate as soon as I can. No telemetry is lost. If the frames were
rejected in error then they are still on the server and I will process them
if I can.

If I turn the VFO manually (via VFO knob), is there an easy way to get
SatPC32 back to the center of the passband? Is there a button that cancels
the effects of the manual tuning? This would be for full Doppler tuning.
Thanks

Hello,
I'd like to get involved with satellite work and haven't gotten on the air
yet. After reading the recent messages about being careful with power,
I've been tempted to set up my IC-9700 with a pair of coax switches and an
attenuator, so that I can get some attenuation on transmit and straight
thru on receive. That way I would have more control over how low I could
reduce Tx power. Any thoughts?
73!

Tom,
There may be a better way to get back to the center of the passband, but the
trick I use is to choose another satellite (one of the A-Z buttons along the
bottom), then choose the satellite of interest again.

If I turn the VFO manually (via VFO knob), is there an easy way to get
SatPC32 back to the center of the passband? Is there a button that cancels
the effects of the manual tuning? This would be for full Doppler tuning.
Thanks

It depends on the gain of your uplink antenna.
When I get down to about 5 watts, I just don't speak as loud. :) It
happens pretty quickly.

Hi Tom
It does work. I do it all the time to switch back and forth between the
transponder and the beacon.
