There is a document at http://www.ariss.org/contact-the-iss.html which
includes a step by step method of switching UISS from interfacing to the
AGWPE to interfacing with the UZ7HO Soundmodem program.
The direct link is as follows to save searching the whole page:
www.ariss.org/uploads/1/9/6/8/19681527/k9jkm_2012_symposium_ver2.pdf
When the ISS is running the HT there are often many packets that sound
"good" but won't pass the checksum. I also test on 144.390 but those signals
often are S9+40 while a good downlink from the HT on the ISS is S3 to S5, at
best, on my station during closest approach. Often at AOS and LOS it is S0
but audible.
When I run a hardware TNC with PASSALL = ON it will display all the packets
and there are many with errors but with enough information that you can
understand the message. But I see lots of incomplete packets.

I'm close but not quite there. I'm trying to get the FCDP+ to function with
SatPC32 and my IC-9100. From within HDSDR I'm using both Omni Rig
connections and DDE client to facilitate connections with SatPC32 and the
9100. It seems like full tuning is working on the FunCUbe but radio control
is not functioning properly on the IC-9100.
I've looked for websites to help clarify this setup but haven't found
anything. I know several of you on this list are using the FNCP+ with
another radio for the uplink and I'd love to know how you are setting it
up.

Thank you to everyone who contributed suggestions on how to setup the
radio and software to decode the telemetry. I finally was able to
decode a pass this evening and that would not have happened with the
help from the AMSAT-BB. Several items needed to be corrected.
1. Turn on menu item 57 (9600 Baud) on IC-9100.
2. Put IC-9100 into FM Digital mode by holding down the FM button.
3. Set the sound card to 48,000 Hz. to match the FOXCOM software.
4. Use line in on the sound card.

Yay! This makes me happy too Frank, because your contribution of AO-85
telemetry as well as all of those others who do so, helps us learn how
to do things better. Thank you for helping!

Hi,
I am putting together a satellite presentation for a non-ham group, and want
to include some
recordings of programs in action such as FoxTelem and SatPC32. The YouTube
recordings are good, but I
want to do custom ones for the audience. Any recommendations of good
software? I have tried VLC,
which is recommended, but must not be holding my jaw right.

I use Open Broadcaster Classic. It works very well for me:

Fwiw the new version is cross platform.

Has anyone found success using Crossover to run SatPC32 on a Mac? I'm
getting sick of fiddling constantly with Windows OS, a system I never got
comfortable with after spending years using Macs.

I'll add another little trick. I tested this and it works.
Make a second DOPPERL.SQF line for AO-85 with the FMD,FM option. You
will still be able to decode and work the pass at the same time.

The problem is you are using DDE. Switch to CAT instead of DDE and
SatPC32 will talk fine with the radio and with HDSDR. DDE has it's place
but it doesn't give you the full, bi-directional control functionality
that I find is great for tuning around.
