All:
I have a new ICOM 9700 and I noticed what appears to be RF on the 2
meter band when transmitting on 70cm in satellite mode.
It appears as a short-lived popping sound and there's enough RF present
to move the S-meter. It only happens when first keying the transmitter
on CW, RTTY and DV. It does not appear on AM or FM.
Anyone else experience this?

Don't know if anyone replied off list but one possibility is high SWR.
Maybe it folds back the power and then the RF isn't great enough to get
into the receiver and the popping stops.
Dont see why it would happen in CW, RTTY and DV but not FM, as I think all
are full duty cycle modes. With AM or SSB the popping would only occur when
you are speaking and the power output goes up.
I can tell you I have experienced popping sometimes when using my IC-910H.
One thing I recently realized could have caused me trouble in the past was
I was holding my Arrow over the top of the car. Make sure the antenna is as
far away from your car/vehicle/radio as reasonably possible.

ARISS Contact Applications (United States)
?
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2021 and December 30,
2021. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the exact contact dates.
To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for
organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the
contact into a well-developed education plan.
?
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 24th, 2020. Proposal
information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and
the proposal form can be found at www.ariss.org. An ARISS Introductory
Webinar session will be held on October 8, 2020 at 8PM ET. The Eventbrite
link to sign up is: https://ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2020.eventbrite.com
?
The Opportunity
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science.
?
Because of the nature of human spaceflight and the complexity of scheduling
activities aboard the ISS, organizations must demonstrate flexibility to
accommodate changes in dates and times of the radio contact.
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations? volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students
around the world using Amateur Radio.
?
Please direct any questions to?ariss.us.education@?????.???.
?
For future proposal information and more details such as expectations,
proposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information
Webinars, go to www.ariss.org.

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.

Jerry:
I believe it does have the latest firmware. The Main CPU version reads
1.24. I disabled the mast mounted pre-amps thinking that might be the
issue but the problem remains. There is no pop when I disconnect the 2
meter antenna from the radio and transmit on 70cm.

Re: UZ7HO Soundmodem
It turns out that it's normal for the Advanced PTT Settings button to
appear disabled until the user selects the CAT port which is way down at
the bottom of the port list.
With the CAT port selected, the advanced PTT window settings will pop up
with a list of radios which includes the IC-9700.
Problem solved.

I noticed that Satpc32's Doppler correction tends to be a bit choppy
when working CW and I was wondering if there's a way to correct this?
Doppler corrections appear to take place every 2 seconds or so with the
default configuration. The rig is an ICOM 9700.

Please refer to Section 4 of the manual (included with the software).
Since you seem very unfamiliar with the software, I highly recommend you
spend some time reading it.

Dear all,
My 4 years old Funcube Dongle Pro+ is not working so I?m seeking help if it
is repairable.
Under Funcube/Nayif/JY1Sat decoder it is detected, but no frame decoded.
Under Foxtelem, it is also detected and active, but no frame decoded (last
March, when I took my raspi-FIAB down, it was getting plenty of frames every
day).
Under HDSDR, it shows a huge waterfall on the tune freq.
Let me know how to repair this dongle.

Hi Tony,
Try the CAT menu, then select Speed X 5 or X 10.? Should do just want
you want!? I forget if SatPC32 remembers this setting now...seems before
that changing didn't "stick", but think perhaps now it does.? You'll see ;)
