I have a fully equipped FT-736R. The other module works in the radio.
There is white noise (sounds like it is working) on 1.2GHz, but it does not
receive or transmit on this band. Is there a common known issue with this
module failing in such a way? Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Subject: [amsat-bb] LUSEX launch May-30-2016
Dear Friends,
Launch of LUSEX, second AMSAT ARGENTINA amateur satellite next May 30, will
mark an extraordinary event for our Institution and fostering of hope for
satellite community. Details of LUSEX (LU Satellite EXperiment) are
available on http://lusex.org.ar .
As we quoted when the announcement of the launching of this experiment,
Amsat Argentina has been working for several years to keep alive the dream
of many Argentine amateurs to get back into Space with their own satellite
as a follow-on of the legendary 1990's LUSAT-1, reaping the benefits of
Technological advancement of our days.
We believe technical activities and developments of experiments in near
space share the same goals: preserving the human group, enhancing their
capabilities as well as disseminate and guiding the education and
development of the activity, meanwhile contributing to Space available
resources.
Our agreement with Satellogic Enterprises, which already launched three low
orbit satellites: Captain Beto, Manolito y Tita, two of which transmit
telemetry and data currently in UHF identifying themselves with callsign
LU7AA, allowed us to ride a linear analog amateur radio transponder and
corresponding antenna aboard one of their next satellite, ?USAT-1
AMSAT-LU provides simultaneously, support for this mission and the ?USAT-2
mission, by operating one of the control stations at Tortuguitas, Prov. of
Bs.As.
The experiment Amsat-LU developed, evolved from original design of our
colleague and partner William, PE1RAH, while electronic adaptation,
mechanical and software was made by LUSEX group, mounted on a 10 x 10
centimeters radiating plate, in which components of the power supply as well
as a duplexer and dual band antenna were also incorporated.
This set was installed on the ?usat-1 bus, which supplies power and becomes
part of several other experiments this satellite will make.
The transponder receives UHF which is broadcasted in VHF, has a bandwidth of
30 KHz. with an output power of 250 mW.
435,935 ~ 435,965 are LSB/CW uplink passband
145,965 ~ 145,935 are USB/CW downlink passband
145,900 Basic CW Telemetry
The launch will be from a Chinese launcher in a polar orbit at 500 km.

Start by removing the module, visually inspect every pin on every
connector.clean every connector,reinstall the module and see what happens.
Ideally it would be great to have a Second 736 to swap it out to see if
it's the radio or the module.

Hi Chris,
Are you sure it's not working? I thought the same thing when I got
mine, only to find out there was nothing transmitting in the area, and
nobody listening either. The only repeater, the one I had been trying
in vain to bring up, had been turned off some years earlier...
Looking around, I found the KJ6KO beacon in the Central Valley, and
found it, weak, off in the distance, behind a hill. Then AO-51 turned
on mode LU, and all was clear. Being in the foothills, straight up was
the only reliable direction for line-of-sight communication. Tx and Rx
were fine.
If a Ham pushes PTT in a forest and there's nobody around to hear it...?

If you have a 440 HT, listen for the third harmonic. That can tell you a
little something about the receiver at least.

Maybe this was already talked about, but I like to share something similar
I cam across.
I have a old Icom R7000 and the 1.2Ghz operation was not as I had expected.
I thought it was not working, but later found it was off frequency about
20khz.

I wish it were that easy, but I have a 23cm HT that is known to be working FB.

I know the first/easiest path to sat communications is on the FM birds
(which I agree with), but when someone is ready to "graduate" to the linear
sats, which would be the best/easiest one to start with?

The Twitter Account (@xxxxxxxxx just announced the following:
"I am set to turn on when I am stable, have power, and my antennae is
deployed. Thanks for being patient with me!"
That explains why nothing has been heard so far. Glad that very important
piece of information is out there now.
Hopefully they will announce when things have been turned on.
