Graeme,
Ok will try :
I guess you are using SatPc32, in such case you should add the following
lines in the Doppler.SQF file:
RS-44,435605,0,CW,0,REV,0,0,CW Beacon (DOSAAF-85)
RS-44,435640,145965,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,SSB (DOSAAF-85)
Second line for SSB.
Made already a few QSO on the bird and these frequencies are OK.
Do not forget to update the Kepplers.
I cannot help for the FT-847 setup as not knowing, as using a TS-2000.
Hope this help.

Mark,
In addition to your good advice about hearing yourself. I'd tell folks
to make sure they hear other Stations or the Beacon before even
transmitting the first time. That would also cover those who are
half-duplex.

Graeme,
You appear to have the correct frequencies in the radio, and Jean-Marc
already supplied the SatPC32 material. Do note two things:
1) this is a linear satellite, so you will be using SSB and TUNING
across the passband that is 60 kHz wide. You don't have to stay in the
middle of that band! You can -- and should! -- tune around. A lot of
stations pile up in the center when we could all be spreading out.
It's not like an FM satellite, where there is just one frequency
channel.
2) the transponder is INVERTING. That means that you will transmit on
Lower Sideband (LSB) on 2 meters, but you will receive on Upper
Sideband (USB) on 70 cm. As you tune your receiver UP in frequency,
the transmit VFO should go DOWN in frequency, and vice versa. If you
put your FT-847 into Satellite mode (see the manual), it will do that
reversed tuning for you automatically.
Once you have all of that down, the only trick is the "fine tuning" to
match your transmit frequency EXACTLY to the corresponding receive
frequency. This is called "Calibration" in SatPC32. See the SatPC32
instructions for that (it's too long for email). Some people try to do
this part manually, but it changes constantly, so it makes satellite
operation a real pain. Let the computer do the hard work!
Contact me off the list if you need more.

Plan to operate a few passes from DM92 on Wednesday, 6 May:

AO-92 at 1628Z and switching over to RS-44 at some point during AO-92 pass

As Drew KO4MA pointed out, AO-92 will be in Mode L, so I'll be on the entire

I have for sale one of the Ukrainian 10m to 2 meter transverter that I have
been using as a receive converter on the satellites. When you use this
with your 10 meter radio you get all of the features of your HF radio on 2
meters.
This particular transverter was set up for use with a flex radio by the
previous owner, so it has the lower power input and requires hard keying
via a PTT line. Since I was using it as a receive only converter that
wasn't an issue for me. I do have the attenuator board with it that would
need to be installed. This lets you run up to 10 watts into it, and also
lets you do RF sense T/R switching instead of needing a PTT line. It is
rated at 10 watts output.
It comes with a power cord, 2 BNC to SO239 adapters for the antenna in and
out. I am asking $60 shipped for it and can take paypal/check/MO.

I have been playing with Lora radios SX1276 on 145 Mhz. The spec sheets
reports sensitivities of -148 dbm with a bandwidth of 7800 hz and a
spreading factor of 12. I am unable to get close to this spec when place
in a link with antennas. I suspect that at my location there has external
noise on the antenna. When I test the module at UHF they meet the
sensitivity specs.
My idle noise on the antenna no signal is -120 dbm and the noise terminated
into 50 ohms is -127 dbm with a bandwidth of 10 khz. I have 2 questions?
1. What is the noise temperature of the antenna?
2. How can I express the reduction in sensitivity of the Lora radios
with antenna temperature?

Is anyone using SDRSharp with an RTL-SDR on a Windows 10 machine? I've
uploaded and deleted and reuploaded more than once and I can't get it work.
The screen comes on looking good, ?but when I hit the "Play" button it locks
up and nothing happens. I have had older versions working on older Windows,
so I sort of know what I'm doing, but I don't know enough I guess.
My plan was to use VBCable between SDRSharp and MixW to decode CW beacons
from satellites.
Any helpful hints would be appreciated.

I use it and it works fine. I also use SDRConsole which also works.
Howev r, you have to make sure that you run ZADIG.exe to load the
correct USB driver. One note, if you have a major build upgrade to
Windows, you'll have to do this again so that you'll get the correct USB
driver again. Google the ZADIG and you sho0uld get the info you need
about running and using it.

I use it however found the older version works better especially if using
with Orbitron. I can try to find what version I am running when I look at
my laptop tonight. The later versions didn?t support RTLSDR as well. I
recall having to install or run some additional software.

Apologies for what could be an easy question but I am a bit new to this.
Just getting the station set up at the moment.
I have installed SAT32PC and have it tracking a number of the amateur
satellites. I have noticed a few sats including PO101, CAS4A and 4B don?t
have any frequency info shown in the window above the map.
Not sure how to resolve this so any help appreciated.
Thanks

Paul,
You need to make entries in the doppler.sqf file with the frequency info.
Here's a write up that should help you out.
amsat-uk.org/2013/11/23/adding-new-satellites-to-satpc32/amp/
Also there's a Doppler.sqf line generator that's on the AMSAT website where
you plug in frequencies and modes and it will generate the proper info.
