I purchased the 144-MHz Minikits which has RF-sensed TR and powers up
the coax line from my radio (FT-736R). It sells for $50 US which is
way lower than the ARR switched preamp $195 (which may be NLA). It
can handle up to 100w with RF-sensing. Rated for 400w with sequencer
control of relays. For satellite use that is unimportant but if you
use your antennas for other use, it might be.
The 144-MHz preamp has a 150-MHz Chebychev low pass filter to reduce
harmonic outputs.
I purchased a Hammond-1590S enclosure from Mouser and will use two
N-female panel-mount connectors so it will be wx-proof mounted on my
satellite tower. Kit comes without enclosure but Minkits does offer
a wx-tight enclosure. Have not built the Minikits preamp, yet.
The preamp is offered for many VHF/UHF bands.
Device used is PGA103+ with 0.5 dB NF cited (0.7 dBNF with TR relays)
which should work fine for satellite applications.
ARR unit was advertised at 0.55 dB NF (mgf-1302). I have one mounted
for use with two 11-element yagis for local SSB/FM use and key it
with my eme sequencer. I run 150w there. For satellite the FT-736R
runs 0-25w.

Trying to get SATPC32 up and running with the 9100. Most problems I have
solved,
but would have been a lot easier if the error messages were in English.
Trying to get the WINAOS to work. I have changed the satellite groups to 3
groups
one of which is standard. So when I run the AOS it still has all the other
sat
groups and sat settings that were there on install. It also does not keep
my grid
sq and keeps altering my log/lats. In reading some of the help files I see
where
the files do not have the right info in them either.
Does one have to go into each .aos file and change the settings. Cant seem to
find a help section for this part.
I have the rotor and rig talking fine, just trying to get some frills stuff
working now.

FORIMMEDIATE RELEASE

Coming Soon!!
Mid-Altitude Balloon Race Planned for June 1
Three Space Station Explorer teams participate in anexciting
distance learning?social distanced balloon race to beheld during Pandemic
?
May27, 2020?ARISS educator, Joanne Michaelis an amateur radio operator with
callsign KM6BWB.? Joanne is also a science coach at theWiseburn Unified
School District in Los Angeles, California where she leads herstudents in
several balloon launch attempts from the Los Angeles area eachyear.? With
this year different becauseof the pandemic, Joanne wanted to ?shake things
up a bit? and give students,world-wide, a unique distance learning treat
while keeping all safe during thepandemic.? So Joanne challenged TedTagami,
KK6UUQ, from Magnitude.io to a mid-altitude cross-continent balloonrace and
Ted accepted the challenge!? Tedplans to launch his balloon from Oakland,
California.? ISS Above inventor, Liam Kennedy, KN6EQU,from Pasadena,
California, got ?wind? of the idea and he asked to participate,too.? All
three organizations: ARISS,Magnitude.io and ISS Above are ISS National Lab
Space Station Explorer (SSE)partners that work to inspire, engage, and
educate students in ScienceTechnology En
gineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) topics and to pursue STEAMcareers.?
?
The three SSE teams plan tolaunch their balloons simultaneously on June
1st.? The winner will be the first one to cross the?Finish Line??the Eastern
Time zone.?Launch time is planned for 15:00 UTC/11:00 EDT/10:00 CDT/9:00
MDT/8:00PDT.? A live video feed of the launch isplanned to start
approximately 5 minutes prior to the event.
?
Once the balloons areairborne, students can track each balloon?s location,
altitude, and temperaturevia amateur radio APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting
System) which is fedautomatically to the aprs.fi web site.?Educators and
parents around the globe can excite at-home youth withthis initiative.
Students can tally and track the states each balloon travelsthrough and plot
altitude versus temperature, etc. Also, by researching weatherpatterns,
students can make assumptions from their own data.? This could include speed
variations due toweather.? They also can predict eachballoon?s flight path
and when they might cross the finish line!
?
For more information on theballoon launch, lesson plans, and the livestream
video link (when thelivestream URL is available), please go
to:?https://www.ariss.org/mid-altitude-balloon-race.html
?
Enjoy the Race!? May the best ballooner win!!

Have you registered it? While otherwise fully functional as a trial
version, SatPC32 only retains your settings if registered.
Also, the satellites you select in WinAOS are separate from those selected
in the SatPC32 main program.
