Asunto: SatPC32 V. 12.8d - Satellites Source Files issues
Fellows I would like some guidance with the satellites source files. The
following has started to bug my mind.
I have added certain satellites under the various source files, i.e.,
amateur, nasa, nasabre TXT files. nasa has lots of them. When I switch
to any other one, I lose the nasa set up and the last one I pick remains the
default for all of them.
It is a pain because then I have to recreate each one again the way I like
them. I don't recall this happening before. Did I touch something?

Just run the coax along the vertical support.

Would be nice if the USB settings "worked as advertised".
If the VFO know is not moved, then yes, all is ok.? However, once you
start to tune around the bandpass, SatPC32 eventually 'loses' comms with
the 9700 and will not doppler tune.
However, not all comms are lost.? If you select another line in CAT
Tuning, the radio now changes to that frequency.? You can even select
another satellite and frequency/mode changes.? BUT, radio no longer
follows doppler tuning and tuning the VFO does not update on SatPC32.?
Go figure.
Have tried both http://www.dk1tb.de/IC9700_settings.htm and
https://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/SatPC32-IC9700-Setu

makes no difference.? Same under Win7 & Win10.

Hi Rick
I would have to say, my experience is not the same. I use the VFO knob all
the time, just like I was on 20M and I have never had an issue. I actually
does work as it should and it continues to doppler tune just fine.
Mine is on the USB port. Maybe we should compare settings. If I had the
problem you are seeing, I would try reducing the baud radio (or even try
increasing it). I am at 19200, but I bet you could safely run at 9600 as
the amount of data being moved is pretty trivial. I am away from my
computer, but I think my interval speed is set to 30.
The issue I have is that about once a week, the SATpc32 and the radio fail
to communicate. Then, I turn off the radio and shutdown SATpc32. I
restart both and it is fine for another week or so.

Good morning friends,
After a week of testing, the transponder on HuskySat-1 is enabled and open
for use and testing. It's fairly sensitive, and 5-10 watts is plenty most of
the time. There are some fades due to satellite orientation, and some passes
are definitely better than others. The operations and engineering teams are
also watching a few anomalies. Please keep an eye on the beacon during
transponder ops, for those with spectrum scopes. Strong signals may impact
the beacon strength.
HuskySat-1 is the Husky Satellite Lab at University of Washington's first
cubesat, and the first mission with AMSAT's linear transponder module
(LTM-1), a V/u transponder and integrated telemetry beacon and command
receiver. UW recently completed their Part 5 operations and have graciously
let AMSAT's Part 97 transponder operations commence. This transponder module
is available for use in educational cubesat missions willing to enable the
transponder for worldwide use. Contact myself or VP Engineering Jerry Buxton
for additional details.
Reports and observations are welcome to the list.
Congratulations to Husky Satellite Lab, and to the entire AMSAT Engineering
team for keeping amateur radio in space. Thanks to Dr. Mark Hammond, N8MH
for commissioning and operations support.
