Good day everyone.
Is there anyone here who successfully uses an Icom 9100 in combination with
HRD Satellite tracking?
It does not seem to command the radio or vice-versa

Posting this as a last resort as I ordinarily enjoy doing my own
troubleshooting, but this one has me perplexed. For normal sat ops I am
running a TS2Kx, 5 el 2m and 11 el 70 cm Directive Systems yagis on a G5400.
Doppler and rotor all run by SatPc32. Up to about a year ago I ran AGWPE
and UISS and a USB Signalink (through ACC 2) to dig over ISS. Never had a
problem, except the occasional decode problem fixed by UX7HO Soundmodem. I
finally removed AGWPE and began using Sound Modem with UISS. However, since
then I have been unable to dig over ISS. I decode just fine. My
transmissions sound like normal packet transmissions, listening on a second
receiver. I have used all of the online recommended settings for both Sound
Modem and UISS. I have played with the audio levels. I substituted
Signalinks in case that was the issue. Also, I have no problem sending APRS
over 144.39 using different "wide" settings and getting an acknowledgement
back. My "neighbor" Christy KB6LTY has provided mu
ch assistance, but still no joy. I am missing something. So I'm hoping
someone has had a similar issue with a similar set up and can maybe send me
screen shots of their settings that work, especially in Sound Modem. Or,
any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Looking at when the problem started, I'm assuming the problem is related to
ISS turning off their packet systems regularly.?
?
Long ago I was able to operate ISS packet throughout the pass, even drop
messages into their their BBS, etc., but for a considerable time now I have
pretty much given up working with ISS packet.?
?
All other factors considered, the fact that your system gets ACK-ed on
144.390 is proof positive.? It has always been a guarantee to be able to
work ISS packet.?

Thanks Umesh. Well I would agree except that several nights ago I pulled out
the D7 HT and elk, and digipeated numerous times on a nigh pass. Immediately
went to the base station and tried but no dice. Plus, on every pass Ive
tried on my base station, I see the stations I decoded show up on the ISS
spotter. So it remains as issue at my end.
Thank you

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.

If the ISS radio is the Kenwood D700, it is quite sensitive to unbalanced
tones. So your base station might work well with a local digi, but if the
low tone is higher than the high tone by just a bit (or other way around),
it will not be decoded by the D700. This is because the kenwood is
optimized for flat tones (at the discriminator) not pre-emphasized as most
people do when they hook up an external TNC to the mic circuits.
(I may have the tones reversed). One of them can be higher than the other
a bit and work fine. The other way around it simply will not work.

Subject: RE: [amsat-bb] unable to dig over ISS
If the ISS radio is the Kenwood D700, it is quite sensitive to unbalanced
tones. So your base station might work well with a local digi, but if the
low tone is higher than the high tone by just a bit (or other way around),
it will not be decoded by the D700. This is because the kenwood is
optimized for flat tones (at the discriminator) not pre-emphasized as most
people do when they hook up an external TNC to the mic circuits.
(I may have the tones reversed). One of them can be higher than the other a
bit and work fine. The other way around it simply will not work.

Thanks Umesh. Well I would agree except that several nights ago I pulled out
the D7 HT and elk, and digipeated numerous times on a nigh pass.
Immediately went to the base station and tried but no dice. Plus, on every
pass Ive tried on my base station, I see the stations I decoded show up on
the ISS spotter. So it remains as issue at my end.
Thank you

Looking at when the problem started, I'm assuming the problem is related to
ISS turning off their packet systems regularly.
Long ago I was able to operate ISS packet throughout the pass, even drop
messages into their their BBS, etc., but for a considerable time now I have
pretty much given up working with ISS packet.
All other factors considered, the fact that your system gets ACK-ed on
144.390 is proof positive. It has always been a guarantee to be able to
work ISS packet.

Posting this as a last resort as I ordinarily enjoy doing my own
troubleshooting, but this one has me perplexed. For normal sat ops I am
running a TS2Kx, 5 el 2m and 11 el 70 cm Directive Systems yagis on a G5400.
Doppler and rotor all run by SatPc32. Up to about a year ago I ran AGWPE
and UISS and a USB Signalink (through ACC 2) to dig over ISS. Never had a
problem, except the occasional decode problem fixed by UX7HO Soundmodem. I
finally removed AGWPE and began using Sound Modem with UISS.
However, since then I have been unable to dig over ISS. I decode just fine.
My transmissions sound like normal packet transmissions, listening on a
second receiver. I have used all of the online recommended settings for both
Sound Modem and UISS. I have played with the audio levels. I substituted
Signalinks in case that was the issue. Also, I have no problem sending APRS
over 144.39 using different "wide" settings and getting an acknowledgement
back. My "neighbor" Christy KB6LTY has provided mu ch assistance, but still
no joy. I am missing something. So I'm hoping someone has had a similar
issue with a similar set up and can maybe send me screen shots of their
settings that work, especially in Sound Modem.
Or, any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
