You might be able to transmit with Fldigi and MMSSTV at the same time,
depending on the setup. I've definitely received with both simultaneously.

Sorry for the dupe 'Main Zach' (I'm the other 'Zach in a hat'), meant to
send to the list.....
Def agree that would be awesome.......I've looked into doing a layout
myself, but as always got distracted by other projects and my coding skills
are quite lacking when talking about the base C libraries for interfacing
with chips like this, which unfortunately tends to discourage me if I don't
know for certain there is already a library somewhere.....(preferably for
Arduino, another limitation in my case, wish I were more comfortable with TI
chips.....).
But, I did just find this (though commit history goes back a few
years......not sure why I didn't find it way back when, but also not
surprising), and there may be other libraries out there now (or more that I
missed back when I was looking around).
https://github.com/PeraZver/Microwave-Transmitter
KiCad designs and Teensy SW (maybe Arduino compatible or easily portable)
for controlling the MAX2871. Haven't actually downloaded and taken a look,
so no idea if it works, but it looks encouraging, looks like there is also a
digitally controllable attenuator for tighter output level control......the
images alone look like they have maybe 0402 and smaller components (that
would be a challenge for me with my little tweezer/hotplate surface mount
technique......0805 no prob, can do 0603 if necessary......anything smaller
and I get 'twitchy').
Might be worth giving it a shot.....

Zach,
Someone industrious person could create a break-out board for the
MAX2870/MAX2871 and get 6 GHz. It would require careful engineering, but
would be interesting.

I am looking for a ready made cable from the G5500 control box (the 8
pin connector) to a FoxDelta controller. I need it already soldered on
the 8 pin side and bare cable on the other end. I need the cable to be
no less than 1 foot long. Is there somewhere to purchase one? I have the
connectors but do not want to play with soldering anymore. I have been
sitting on this for a year now and time to get the controller working.

Darn, someone suggested purchasing a cable from AMAZON. As well as other
sources. Have one on the way. I think I was over thinking the problem
and looking for a cable specific to the controller instead of just a cable.

I am based in Ireland. I have investigated diseqc as a means of rotator
control and I have generated custom messages using a windows PC
See here for video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfhTP59WXUM&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
I used some basic electronics to 'wiggle' the voltage to the rotator to
generate the diseqc signal.
I know others have done this too.
I was most interested in building an XY rotator using two off the shelf
diseqc domestic rotators. I chose xy over azimuth elevation for 2 reasons,
one the standard diseqc dish rotators typically only rotate 1/2 or 3/4
turn, and XY is better for fast overhead passes at microwave frequency
Using the software in that video, and a couple of components you can send
messages to that rotator.
I also used a similar set up to reverse engineer and send custom diseqc
commands to other domestic satellite equipment equipment such as a DirecTV
downconveter.
I never really completed or documented my work properly, but I have some
records and the hardware.
It might be possible to modify specific diseqc rotators to travel beyond
1/2 a turn, however an XY design needs little modification. I have a non
diseqc XY rotator which I have used in the past and it is superior on high
passes at microwave frequencies.
I have also build other arduino rotator controllers.
Any questions please ask on or off list

Bruce, this is the cable I bought for that very purpose. I cut off one

About ARISS:
?
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS).? In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.
