A little off topic for this forum, but we've been here before.
I've been using WxtoImg software to decode images from the NOAA
satellites. It works pretty well, but the radio I'm using is an old
2 m mobile rig. From what I've read on the WxtoImg website, I might get
better images if I get the software upgrade. But, I cannot, for the life
of me, find how to get the upgrade. A link is provided in the program
and on the website, but, when I use the link, there is nothing on that
page that says anything about an upgrade.
I also cannot find anywhere on the website the name of the author or an
email address with which to contact him or her.
If you have upgraded your WxtoImg software, can you please tell how you
did it?
Thank you!

I am a new owner of the TH D72 by Kenwood. ?I'm having a bit of difficulty

My understanding is that I cannot save duplex setups into the memory

I have one, and I set it up with the software. (Actually I think I used an
opensource software package of some sort, but I don't now remember the
name). I have not touched the setup in a while, but I don't remember the
issue you were talking about, although I do think you have to use a
separate channel for uplink and downlink.
But one nice thing (if I remember right): Isn't the data connection a
regular USB mini so you don't need to pay huge amounts for a special cable?
Anyway, my main problem is that things seem very hard to find--so much
APRS and TNC stuff on the keypad that things like power are hiding in menus.

For a typical Symposium weekend, my wife gladly stays home knowing how boring
an AMSAT Symposium can be, so I only have to buy one airline ticket and I can
often cut the lodging cost in half by sharing a room with another temporarily
single AMSAT guy. I carry enough snacks in my luggage that I don't need to pay
for hotel meals aside from the banquet.
However there is no way that I will be allowed to go on a "cruise with the
AMSAT boys" without bringing her along, so now I'm on the hook for $446
dollars (including tax) times two, along with two plane tickets to Houston. We
are looking at over $1000 for something that usually costs a few hundred. I
have not missed a symposium in quite a few years but this might be the year
when I lose my perfect attendance record.
Last year's symposium had a record attendance by college and high school
students, who are the future of AMSAT. I doubt very many of these students can
afford a cruise so we will probably set another record for the least
attendance by students.
Finally, what are the legal ramifications of discussing potentially ITAR
restricted subjects on a foreign registered ship outside of US territory?
I hope you all have fun, I will (probably) not be going.

Zach,
You are correct. You cannot program memory channels on
a TH-D72 where the transmit and receive frequencies are
in different bands. You will need to use the lower
VFO (VFO B) for your transmit/uplink frequency, and the
upper VFO (VFO A) for your receive/downlink frequency.
This means you will be switching VFOs when adjusting your
receive frequency when working SO-50 and LilacSat-2.
Depending on the pass, you may not need to adjust your
receive frequency when working AO-85, focusing only on the
transmit frequency.
The radio will save the settings like tuning step and PL
tone, once you set them. These settings are specific to
each band and VFO. What you have in VFO A does not carry
over to VFO B, nor do the settings for the 2m band in
one VFO carry over to the 70cm band (or vice versa).
These suggestions are in addition to what I e-mailed you
directly a few days ago.
In addition to working FM satellites, the packet/APRS part
of this HT is capable of being used to make packet QSOs
via the digipeaters on NO-84 and the ISS. I have used APRS
messages to do this, working only with the HT's keypad.
It is like typing out SMS messages on a flip-type mobile
phone, but it is possible. Exchanges are similar to what
you would do on any other satellite, just done quickly to
get the information to the other station and so you can
get the other station's exchange. Using APRS messages means
you will have copies of what you send to other stations,
along with messages from other stations back to you, stored
in the HT.
Good luck, and 73!

Subject: [amsat-bb] Thunderbird Hamfest @ Phoenix AZ, last Saturday (9
January) - report
Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Hi!
Last Saturday (9 January), I had an AMSAT booth at the Thunderbird Amateur
Radio Club's annual hamfest in Phoenix, Arizona. This is one of several
hamfests in central and southern Arizona away from the summertime. The
morning was a little cool and humid, but as the sun came up this was a
great morning. As the rain that had soaked the Phoenix area last week moved
away, a nice crowd - buyers, and sellers - came out to the hamfest.
During the hamfest, I had lots of opportunities to talk about our new AO-85
satellite, along with the group of Chinese amateur satellites launched last
fall, and more Fox-1 satellites in the pipeline. At these hamfests, the
most popular events are the on-air demonstrations. Starting with a very
early AO-85 pass before 6am (1300 UTC) which was a good pass for collecting
telemetry, through two AO-73 passes later in the morning, there is always
interest in seeing satellite activity in person. Besides the AO-85 and two
AO-73 passes, I also worked a pair of LilacSat-2 passes and an XW-2F pass.
This makes for a nice mix of FM and SSB satellite operating. As always,
many thanks to the stations who called and worked WD9EWK during these
passes! It helps to have stations come on and say "hello" to the crowds,
and also mention more than a grid locator for their location. I uploaded
my log to Logbook of the World for the contacts made at the hamfest, and
would be happy to send a QSL card if anyone would like to receive a card
for a contact with WD9EWK at the hamfest. Please e-mail me directly with
the QSO details, so I can check my log before sending a card your way.
For the final demonstration pass I had at the hamfest, a western AO-73 pass
a few minutes past 10.30am (1730 UTC), I had contacts with Frank K6FW near
Los Angeles and Glenn AA5PK in west Texas. After I finished the contact
with Glenn, someone in the crowd pointed out that Texas was to the east,
and I was pointing my Elk log periodic westward. I explained that the
satellite was over the eastern Pacific Ocean during this pass, and that
both of us would be pointing our antennas at the satellite - not in the
direction of the other station for each contact. The proverbial lightbulb
came on at that moment, followed by "cool". We who regularly work
satellites know that we may not point our antennas anywhere in the
direction of where the other station is located, but sometimes it takes a
moment for that concept to make sense for someone who knows little or
nothing about satellite communications.
For almost all of the passes I worked at the hamfest, I used my SDRplay
SDR receiver and an 8-inch Windows 10 tablet for my downlink receiver. I
figured a hamfest would be a great place to demonstrate the power of an SDR
receiver like the SDRplay, combined with the small yet functional Windows
tablet - something I wrote about for the AMSAT Journal and the AMSAT-UK
OSCAR News publications in the past year. "Eating my own dog food", you
could say. I was able to use the shade from my parked car so I could see
the tablet's screen, and the tablet/SDR receiver combination attracted lots
of interest from the hamfest crowd. Using HDSDR on the tablet, I was able
to see the transponder and other telemetry from the satellites. I think I
talked about the tablet/SDR combination as much as the satellite that were
recently launched and those coming up during 2016.
Thanks to the Thunderbird Amateur Radio Club for providing AMSAT space for
a booth at the hamfest. This is the 10th consecutive year I have been at
this hamfest representing AMSAT. I'm looking forward to the next hamfest
where I will represent AMSAT - the Yuma Hamfest, which is also the 2016
ARRL Southwest Division Convention, in southwestern Arizona next month.
73!

To add to that, also be aware that the VFO order is important! if you swap
TX and RX, this rig does NOT allow duplex. it is only full duplex when your
TX is on VFO B and RX on VFO A. You can only enable the duplex mode while
on VFO B. This is different to the true full duplex of the TH-D7.
Additionally, the TH-D72 has both narrow and wide FM deviations. be aware
of this. I believe the common practice in satellite operation is still FM
wide (or normal) and *not* narrow.

Thanks for the replies. I don't mind having to manually enter the
appropriate frequency and have had zero issues following ao85 and so50
through full passes.
The issue that drives me crazy is having to reset the tone and step each
time I change satellites. If I have everything set with a 67hz tone and
5khz step for an ao85 pass and then enter frequencies for a so50 pass I
have to redo the tone and steps. It automatically defaults each time to
88.5 and 25khz steps.
I don't know what to do to make this not have to occur. I would prefer to
just type in the appropriate frequencies and move on, not have to make the
other adjustments.

I suppose this is because, as others have said, to do duplex you have
to use one side for TX and one side for RX and the sats don't use the
same bands for RX/TX. (Just confirming I understand the problem).
With Kenwood radios there is a way to transfer memories to VFO. I
wonder if you just saved each sat's RX and TX if you could transfer
the memory with at least tone, and hopefully step, to the appropriate
side of the radio. I can't remember the buttons to do this, but on
some Kenwood radios it is as simple as Function -> VFO

Zach, are you saying that you don't use the memories at all, or that the
tone and step size are not stored in the memories? I'm pretty sure that
you can use one memory for the uplink and a different one for the downlink,
and then set the A and B side each to a different one. I'm 99.9% sure I
did that. And I sure thought that the tone was stored with the memory. I
think I have an "Open SO50" and a "talk SO50" memory with different tones.
But maybe I did not check. (Maybe that's why I have so much trouble!)
73,
