AO-85 and a couple of others are not available in the normal distributions.
AMSAT keeps its own archives:

Toward the bottom you can get the Keps for AO-85 in approximately weekly
intervals.

Our Grade School has been selected to participate in the NASA ARISS
program. We are working to have our station setup for the scheduled
October ISS contact. We are having a problem with the Alfa Spid rotor
controller, in that it can see the port but cannot talk to it. This
problem was duplicated by the technician at Hy-Gain (US Distributor). Has
anyone else had a similar problem? If so, is there a solution?

Ok, Clint. Then I'll call it as I see it: Please stop clogging the
internet with your personal web page propaganda.

Hi Roy,
I found information on Clint's website to be helpful.? It included
information that I have overtly asked about on-list and received very little
feedback.
Calling his efforts "propaganda" seems a bit harsh when the best response
would be to simply ignore what you aren't interested in and allowing others
with an interest to benefit.
Here's hoping your day works out to be enjoyable and productive.

Hi Bob,
Are you interfacing over USB, Serial, or Ethernet? Also is your controller
the MD-01/MD-02 or the other version (I forgot the name, rot2prog maybe?
The one with LED digital readout, not the LCD screen that the MD-01 has).
We use the MD-01 style at VT, and in the menu screens you have to
specifically select the interface (in our case Ethernet) in order for the
controller to 'listen' on the right port. You also have to make sure you
tell it which protocol to use (there are a few options) and make sure your
host software is speaking the same protocol.
Hope this helps!

We are using the Rot2Prog controller. It has a USB connector and a FTDI
FT232RL USB to Serial chip. We can't get it to communicate with a computer
in any way. The program we are using is SatPC32, but we've also tried
different programs and computers.
Thanks,
