Motorola's transistor group is still in the game, although they are part of
NXP (Phillips) now after Freescale got bought by NXP. They released a new
generation of transistors for their mobile radio line a few years ago:
http://www.nxp.com/products/rf/rf-power-transistors/rf-mobile-radio:RF-MOBILE-
RADIO?cof=0&am=0
They're pretty cheap - target market is public safety radio so cost is a
factor. I used the AFT05MS004N on the PA design for ECOSat-II. Richardson
RFPD (now owned by Arrow) carries most of the AFT line.
You can get official Microwave Office and ADS models for most of the
Freescale stuff, assuming you can get a license for one of those. That will
significantly cut down on the development time.

Hi, all:
Several years ago I bought the G6LVB tracker board and finally got around to
building it. All went well until trying to program the pic. I followed Gould
Smith's instructions (would have been impossible without them; thanks
Gould). Things seem to go OK until it tries to run the picprog software
script. It starts, then simply stops at the second line "reading hex
file...". It drops to the next line and there it sits (blank with flashing
cursor).
Hardware: using an XP laptop with a new StarTech FTDI USB-to-serial
converter. Could not get the converter to be recognized by either of two WIN
10 laptops, but the old XP machine is fine with it. I have tried all
combinations of power on, off, when to plug in, boot up, etc. Same result
every time.
I did see some cryptic on-line messages of difficulties getting the script
to run on anything except an ancient machine with a real live RS232
interface. Surely there is another way.... Humm.
Does anyone have any idea on how to make this thing run?
Thanks!

Dear AMSAT community members,
I'm Brandon Shirley, I am conducting a set of surveys about space systems
and software development for my PhD research at Utah State University. I
really need your participation. There is a chance to win some gift cards.
Please see below for more information and the link to take the survey. The
survey should only take about 10 minutes. Reading this wordy email will
probably take more time than actually taking the survey. Thanks.
I sent you this email because I thought you might have relevant experience
and greatly need your participation. The second part of the survey has
background questions that will give context to your answers. Try to fill the
background out the same way if you take more than one of the surveys.
You can you use the link below to access the Reuse, Interoperability,
Portability, Code Complexity Survey.
https://usu.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_79TOgGac3B4Z77f
Answer as many of the questions as you want and as much of each question as
you want, partial surveys may still be very helpful. At the end of this
survey, you will be redirected to a webpage that asks for an email address.
You must enter a valid email address to be considered for survey drawings or
the overall survey set drawing
We are currently on the 5th survey, Reuse, Interoperability, Portability,
Code Complexity.
You have a chance at receiving a gift card for participating in this survey
as well as a chance at receiving a gift card for your overall participation
in the entire survey set. There will be 2 winners of $25 gift cards for each
survey and 2 winners of $200 gift cards for the survey set.
The surveys are as follows and will be distributed in the following order:
(participate as you see fit)
SISDPA : Core Concepts
SISDPA : Development Preferences
SISDPA : Open Systems Architecture and Modularity
SISDPA : Security
SISDPA : Reuse, Interoperability, Portability, Code Complexity <========= We

should you choose to participate.
This is a legitimate request for you participation, if you have any

Clint,
It is nice to see that you are selling equipment to help a couple of
organizations. Since you are using this list to promote your auction, I
felt it was appropriate to question the listing for one of the items in
your auction here.
One of the items in your auction is a Puxing PX-UV973 2m/70cm FM HT. In the
listing for that radio, you say that this "was the first of the recent crop
of Chinese HTs to actually perform well in true, full-duplex mode for
working V/U FM ham satellites."
https://www.32auctions.com/organizations/24686/auctions/29310/auction_items/71
7906
Huh? Maybe when used with another radio, but certainly not by itself on
SO-50 or LilacSat-2, our current V/U FM satellites.
Near the end of summer 2013, you ordered and received a PX-UV973. You
mentioned this on a mailing list for the PX-UV973 at that time:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/uv973/conversations/messages/97
When you were working for another importer of the PX-UV973 in late 2013 and
early 2014, a few months after you received your first PX-UV973, you were
asked about its full-duplex performance on SO-50 in a thread on the eHam
satellite forum:
http://www.eham.net/ehamforum/smf/index.php/topic,94800.0.html
Your response to one question in the thread was:
"Is is an excellent performer as a true dual-receive unit ... great
second unit to work full-duplex."
I think you may have been going for "It is an excellent performer as a true
dual-receive unit", which is not the same as an endorsement of this
radio's performance for V/U FM satellites. I pointed out in that thread the
fact there are many dual-band HTs with dual-receive capabilities,
which is different than cross-band full-duplex operation. You later
responded to one of my posts in that thread about its full-duplex
performance on SO-50 with:
"Tentatively, I am not pleased with that mode on the UV973."
And now you are saying the PX-UV973 performs well with V/U FM satellites?
I bought a PX-UV973 last summer, and tried it with FM satellites over the
past few months. Although it could work AO-85 full-duplex, it was the worst
performer of the 4 Chinese-made dual-band HTs I tried during the few weeks
after AO-85 was launched - and AO-85 is a U/V FM satellite. A recap of
those reports I posted on the AMSAT-BB list is available at:
http://amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2015-December/056269.html
An article about my tests with these radios working AO-85 full-duplex will
appear in the March/April 2016 AMSAT Journal. I have also tried the
PX-UV973 with SO-50 and LilacSat-2, and it - like the other 3 Chinese-made
HTs I tried with AO-85 last fall - was incapable of working either of those
two V/U FM satellites full-duplex.
The PX-UV973, like those other 3 Chinese-made dual-band HTs, might do
better with V/U FM satellites if the downlinks were much stronger than what
we have from SO-50 and LilacSat-2. I'm not sure that AO-27's downlink would
have been strong enough to overcome the 70cm receiver desense when
transmitting on 2m. It might have taken AO-51's 70cm downlink running at
much more than milliwatt power to overcome the 70cm receiver desense when
transmitting on 2m. The ISS cross-band repeater was rarely on in V/U mode,
and hasn't been on in several years. Maybe this would have been a
"satellite" where the PX-UV973 and other radios could work V/U full-duplex
successfully, given its higher transmit power than our other FM satellites
in the recent past.
Unfortunately, with the current crop of V/U FM satellites, the PX-UV973 is
just not up to the task of full-duplex operation without the use of a
second radio. Its performance may be acceptable for non-satellite work on
terrestrial repeaters, as a cross-band repeater when dealing with signals
much stronger than satellite downlinks, or as one of two radios for a full-
duplex V/U FM satellite station, but that's not what is in the auction
listing. Listing it as a radio that performs well with V/U FM satellites
isn't accurate - or I am sure we would have heard from you a couple of
years ago about the performance of this radio on SO-50.
73.

G'Day To All,
OK..... ?I am entering the wonderful world of Satellites and in the process

Are there preferred applications that I can run under these environments
