John,
The explanation you reposted relates to using just the TNC to work ISS
passes via APRS messages. Jack was asking about using the TH-D72A with
software like UISS. In 5+ years of owning my TH-D72A, I have never
used it in "PACKET12" or "PACKET96" mode, where the TNC is being
controlled by external software running on a PC connected to the
radio's USB port. When you connect the TH-D72A to a PC and it is in
the PACKET12 or PACKET96 (1200 vs 9600 bps), you get access to
the TNC's cmd: prompt. I should be able to use a terminal program
or other software that (on a Windows PC) can access the HT on the
COM port assigned to it by Windows.
Seeing these messages, I may try to get my TH-D72A working with a
software package like UISS. I see that UISS installs the AGW packet
engine software, and wants to also install UZ7HO's Soundmodem
package when UISS is installed. I'm pretty sure I don't need the
Soundmodem package if I'm using the TH-D72A, and will have to see
the configuration options to make UISS play with the HT. Time to
try this out is in short supply this week, between stuff at the
office and the hamfest I'm heading to this weekend, but I am a
little curious about trying UISS with the HT.
73!

Shakeel,
Thanks for the question. Many spacecraft designers chose AX.25 because
many hams around the world already had TNC's with the capability of
decoding it. This was more important 20 years ago before there was
enough spare compute power available in hamshacks. These days, it is
practical to do all the processing with commodity PCs, making different
modulation and coding schemes feasible such as the DPSK used on FunCube
and the FSK "Data Under Voice" used on AO-85. Of course for unique
communication methods, the satellite operator must make ground station
software available, and recruit a motivated team of operators to go
through the trouble of installing and operating it. Thus, some
builders still choose to use AX.25 so they did not have to invent anythign.
The command scheme is similarly varied. The designer must devise a
scheme that is both reliable and secure against mischief.
As ever, engineering is the art of compromise!

Dear all,
As today and tomorrow are holiday in Indonesia , APRS payload on IO-86 is
going to be activated with the following schedule:
5 May: pass 03.15 and 04.59 UTC
6 May: pass 01.53 and 03.37 UTC
Then back to regular weekend schedule (between 1 and 5 UTC, depending
operator availability )

Hello to the list,
Please i have a FCDPP that doesn?t work properly.
Any chance to send it for a check and if need a repair?
I have tried to leave several messages on the http://www.funcubedongle.com
Site but did not get any reply.
Any help will be really appreciated.

Was anyone on the 1100 UTC SO-50 pass this morning? I didn't hear
anything.
Just checking to see if it was just a quiet morning or if something is

All,
The separation between AAUSAT 4 and e-st@xxxx finally increased to
about 30 km, enabling their identification.
Detailed doppler measurements show that AAUSAT 4 is object 41460,
2016-025E and e-st@xxxx is object 41459, 2016-025D.

Pretty cool! Maybe they were practicing aiming their antenna;-)
I only get a max el of 28 degrees at my QTH during the contact tomorrow,
but I'm going to try to eavesdrop on the conversation.

Hi Rick,
I'm Bob, WB4SON, and I was the control operator at N1ASA today. It was fun
having a keyboard QSO with you (and K8OE as well) today.
As Steve, AI9IN, guessed, we were testing our gear (computers, radios,
antenna system) today. Despite some crummy wet/cold weather, things went
quite well. We certainly hope to have our luck hold tomorrow during the
16:43-16:53 UTC window when our students (All Saints Academy, Middletown
RI) ask Astronaut Jeff Williams their questions.
Thanks for everyone who put up with my horrible typing!
73, Bob, WB4SON aka N1ASA
