Message-ID:
<CAN6TEUdOifhwgwoy1qJgc1ABDBn=MkU3MoZhuPOib-igWEzL9g@xxxx.xxxxx.xxx>

Hi!
Starting just after the launch of AO-85 last month, I have been using
different radios to work this satellite. Some of my experiments have been
with HTs, along with my Icom IC-2820H mobile radio at different power
levels. During the first weekend we had AO-85 in orbit, I had used my
Wouxun KG-UV9D to work the satellite, and found that it was usable to work
AO-85 when it was above 20 degrees elevation. The KG-UV9D can also work
U/V FM satellites like AO-85 full-duplex, although the reverse is not true
(there is too much desense when trying to work SO-50 or LilacSat-2, two
V/U FM satellites, full-duplex). After working AO-85 over the past 6 weeks
or so, I wanted to see if I could refine my suggestions from posts I made
here on the AMSAT-BB and on the QRZ satellite forum last month. Here
goes...
When I did my tests last month, I set the tuning step for the uplink VFO
to 5 kHz, and the downlink VFO at 2.5 kHz. Most Chinese-made HTs have
sharper receive filters than the HTs from the traditional ham equipment
manufacturers, so I have used the smaller tuning step for the downlink
frequencies when working FM satellites. For this weekend, I went with the
2.5 kHz tuning steps for both VFOs. This means still more adjustments when
working these passes compared to other radios that have 5 kHz as their
smallest tuning step in FM, but I think being able to make smaller
adjustments on the uplink VFO helps get through. I started with the uplink
VFO at 435.165 MHz, and then prepare to tune this VFO higher throughout the
pass. The downlink VFO is usually set to 145.9825 MHz initially, but it
does not take long for me to tune it down to 145.980 MHz, on its way down
to 145.975 MHz near LOS.
At the time I did my tests last month, I had set the KG-UV9D to "wide" FM
in both VFOs. Since then, there have been suggestions on working AO-85 in
narrow FM. Transmitting to AO-85 in narrow FM ensures the uplink signals
aren't overdeviated, and for the downlink it filters out most of the noise
that comes with the data being transmitted with the FM voice downlink. With
the KG-UV9D, it seems that its "wide" FM setting doesn't transmit a signal
with deviation that matches what comes from radios made by the traditional
ham manufacturers. The "wide" FM setting for the transmit VFO made a big
difference for me getting through and making more QSOs during the passes I
worked last weekend.
As with my tests last month, I did not program any memories. The KG-UV9D's
VFOs are ideal for this type of operating. Since operators can transmit
from one VFO and receive with the other VFO, memory channels aren't really
needed. An earpiece plugged into the speaker jack ensures no receive audio
feeds back into the microphone. There are moments where I have to switch
VFOs, so I can tune the downlink VFO down to the next tuning step, and then
switch back to the uplink VFO. This is not a huge issue, as I have had to
do this with my Kenwood TH-D72A.
Here are some key menu settings I have used with my KG-UV9D, for each VFO:
Uplink VFO:
STEP (03): 2.5
W/N (04): WIDE
SQL-LE (08): 9
Tx-CTC (17): 67.0
Downlink VFO:
STEP (03): 2.5
W/N (04): NARROW
SQL-LE (08): 0
I normally put the uplink frequency in the upper VFO, and the downlink
frequency in the lower VFO. This is my preference; it does not appear that
I have to use the VFOs in a particular way for full-duplex operation. I set
the squelch as tight as possible on the uplink VFO, and wide open on the
downlink VFO, to ensure I am hearing only the static from the downlink VFO.
Since many Chinese-made HTs use menus that are similar to what I have in
the KG-UV9D, I plan on using these settings in the other Chinese-made dual-
band HTs I plan on trying with AO-85 (Wouxun KG-UV8D, AnyTone TERMN-8R,
Puxing PX-UV973). I already had a successful test of full-duplex operation
on AO-85 with the KG-UV8D, and hope to try the other two HTs soon and see
how they handle full-duplex operation on this satellite. I have a couple of
other HTs that I'll try on AO-85 from "traditional" ham manufacturers
(Icom IC-W32A, Alinco DJ-G7T). I will also try my Kenwood TH-D72A, a radio
that should have no issues working AO-85 full-duplex, as it can be used
with SO-50 full-duplex.
Now, the AO-85 passes I worked with the KG-UV9D...
I worked three AO-85 passes from my back yard this weekend with the KG-UV9D
and my Elk log periodic antenna - a Saturday afternoon pass to my west with
maximum elevation of 61 degrees, a western pass Sunday morning with maximum
elevation of 70 degrees, and an eastern pass Sunday afternoon with maximum
elevation of 37 degrees. All 3 passes had several minutes where AO-85's
elevation was at least 20 degrees. I plugged an audio splitter into the
KG-UV9D's speaker jack, and split the receive audio between an earpiece and
my Sony digital audio recorder. This allowed me to have MP3 recordings of
the audio received by the HT while I heard the downlink, safe from having
receive audio feeding back into the HT's mic. For the two passes on Sunday,
I made an RF recording from my SDR receive setup - SDRplay SDR receiver,
8-inch Windows 10 tablet, HDSDR software, and the AMSAT-UK VHF crossed
dipole on an 8-foot mast and tripod. I forgot to make an RF recording of
the pass I worked on Saturday afternoon, or I would have had 3 RF
recordings to go with the 3 MP3 recordings from the HT. Oops. The SDR
receive setup allowed me to hear myself through AO-85 from an independent
receiver, as well as upload telemetry to the AMSAT server.
I logged 3 QSOs on the Saturday afternoon AO-85 pass, 6 QSOs on the Sunday
morning pass, and 3 more QSOs on the Sunday afternoon pass. The KG-UV9D did
a great job, even at 5 watts. The last QSO I completed on the pass Sunday
afternoon, with Drew KO4MA in Florida, was made with AO-85's elevation down
to 21 degrees. Shortly after this QSO, I was not able to hear myself
through the satellite. My audio from the satellite sounded OK on the HT and
my SDR receive setup, although not as loud and strong as other stations. I
had to twist my Elk antenna around, which helped to improve the downlink
signal and (when transmitting) improve my chances of AO-85 hearing me. I
was also able to upload telemetry to the AMSAT server from the two Sunday
passes I worked with the HT from the SDR receive setup out in the yard.
If you want to see pictures of my setup for these passes, or hear the audio
and/or RF recordings I made from these passes, you can visit my public
Dropbox space at http://dropbox.wd9ewk.net/ and look for the folder named
"20151122-AO85_Fox1A-DM43". If the folder listing doesn't appear when going
to that link, press F5 or Refresh to force your web browser to make another
try at accessing the link.
I'll post more to the -BB, and upload more files to my Dropbox space, as I
test other HTs for their ability to work AO-85 full-duplex. I plan on
trying the KG-UV8D again, with the same settings as I used on the KG-UV9D,
to see if it does any better than it performed last month. The upcoming
Thanksgiving holiday weekend should allow for many passes that are usable
with 5-watt radios.
73!

Hello Aayush,
Starting out with very strong signals is probably a good idea even though
you can probably get any satellite
that you wish with a good ground station.? Start out with AO-85 for FM
reception and AO-73 for SSB
reception.? AO-73 is especially strong during local day time during
Mon-Friday (UTC).? There is not
transponder turned on then, so all the power goes into the telemetry.
Both of these can be received with an HT (handheld with a simple antenna)
so you are very likely to receive
them on any station you have and optimize from there.
I would also suggest that you might find local colleagues in AMSAT-India
who would be able to tell you
things of local interest (what parts are available where, for example).
73,
Burns? W2BFJ

On a related note...
Those of you who use heavens above app on android should know that although
AO-85 is listed the keps are out of date. The satellite appears many
minutes later than heavens above shows.

Panoramic view of AO-7 transponder, using FCDP+ for RX and TS-2000 for TX.
I got late on he bird after 1/2 pass that started at 18:40 UTC, forgot to
swap SDR# IQ in the first moment :(
Max elevation was 64deg TX power 5 Watts all the time and RHCP most of the
time. About 2 min before end of recording it is possible to hear I think a
CU station calling.

I have, although on the wrong receiver for satellite mode. I used a buffer
amp, and primarily use the pan adapter during 2m eskip and tropo openings
and contests.
I think AC0RA has buffers amps on both receivers.
A Google search for "ic-910 if tap" brings up several of the resources I used.

It's not looking favorable for me to visit EL06 this week. I'm not ruling
it out entirely but if I operate from there, it'll likely be an afternoon
FO-29.
Fortunately the EL15/16 grid line is close and I've been able to operate
from it on a couple of passes daily.
