Was trying to capture the QB50P1 BPSK telemetry today during the 1810Z pass
and noticed the frequency had shifted down approximately 2 KHz and had a
severe chirp when the transmission started. Couldn't demodulated any of the
telemetry using Warbler. The signal then stopped about mid-pass. Hadn't
noticed this problem before.

Message-ID: <5404BF18.3020702@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
Looking for a bit of help here. In reassembling my 9600 bps ground
station today for an upcoming launch I found two problems.
1) My IC910H goes into transmit on main band when I power it on, even
with nothing connected. It worked fine a month ago. Using the
4/5-power on factory reset clears the settings but it still transmits
when turned on. I'd appreciate any ideas of what else I can try, or -
can I send it to ICOM for repair.
2) A used KPC9612+ I bought from a local guy, which worked fine a few
days ago, now has a PTT problem. The PTT on pin 1 of the 15 pin 'high
speed' port 2 connector is inverted. It is ground when the TNC is idle
and goes off ground (not sure how far) when I send a packet. The PTT
light for port two works properly, red when PTTing, but the output pin
is inverted. I did note the backup battery appears dead because
settings like the PC interface baud rate don't survive a power cycle,
but I can't see how that should effect PTT polarity. As above, any
ideas about a setting the inverted that, or - where can I send this guy
for repair, would be appreciated.
These two could be related since the KPC and 910 were connected for a
month or so. Perhaps one failure caused the other. Just speculating.
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Do you have the service manual for the IC910H?
If not, it can be downloaded
here http://www.rigpix.com/icom/ic910h_service.pdf.
The manual for the KPC9612+ is available here
http://www.kantronics.com/documents/KPC-9612PMX_Manual.pdf.
I will look this evening to see what may be causing your problem.

It was the first spacecraft to reach Saturn.
As I remember, the observations it made indicated more details in the
ring structure than could be observed by ground-based telescopes.
That was confirmed over a year later by Voyager 1.

I do not have one of these radios so what follows is from the manual.
The first step in repairing the radio is to determine where the
keying signal is originating from.
Is the radio really being keyed or is it only indicating it is keyed?
Check J1581 pin 3 to ground, this is the accessory connector.
Check J1561 pin 3 to ground, this is the DATA2 connector.
Is there a side tone when the radio keys?
Check J1 pin 5 to ground, this is the microphone connector.
These checks should determine what is causing the radio to be keyed.
If the radio is really being keyed, ensure that the power is turned
to minimum on both VHF and UHF.
Also ensure both ports are terminated in a load that will dissipate the power.
Change the battery in the KPC9612+ and see if it still has a problem.
Let us know what you find.

Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Hi!
After wrapping up the W1AW/7 satellite activity from Arizona in the
last week, I compiled some statistics. First of all, thanks to all of
the stations that worked W1AW/7 in the past week. I was the only
satellite operator for W1AW/7 this time, and we didn't have VO-52
compared to the other W1AW/7 Arizona week in mid-March, but
things worked out well.
W1AW/7 logged 105 satellite QSOs in the past week. W1AW/7
worked 58 unique call signs in those 105 QSOs. Those stations
were located in 19 US states, 3 Canadian provinces (BC, ON, SK),
and 3 Mexican states (Chiapas, Colima, Puebla), in 4 DXCC entities
(W, VE, XE, CO). W1AW/7 logged QSOs with 47 different grids.
W1AW/7 made QSOs on the following satellites:
AO-7 - 5 QSOs
AO-73 - 19 QSOs
FO-29 - 35 QSOs
SO-50 - 46 QSOs
W1AW/7 only worked daytime SO-50 passes during the three-day
Labor Day holiday weekend (Saturday through Monday), and 2 AO-7
passes on Sunday. FO-29 and AO-73 were worked every evening,
at least one pass for each satellite, plus the daytime AO-73 passes
over the weekend (thanks AMSAT-UK and the FUNcube project!).
The SO-50 passes on Saturday and Monday afternoons were worked
from the DM33/DM43 grid boundary at a Phoenix city park (the park
I worked many satellite passes from, over several years), and the
other passes were worked from my back yard in DM43.
If you wish to receive a QSL card for working W1AW/7 in the past
week, please send your QSL request to ARRL. Over the next week
or two, the log will be uploaded to Logbook of the World, including
the grid locator(s) for each QSO.
73!

Hey Mark,
I have no idea why, but the majority of AMSAT guys seem to refuse to mention
this website when people are trying to figure out tracking...
http://www.n2yo.com/?s=7530|27607|24278|39417
Just put in your location and the link I gave you will bring up the four
current workable satellites. It's all I've used the past few years...
eventually I will get SATPC32 when I finally get my new antennas up and want
to try automatic tracking.
Saw a fairly new ham posting on eHam needing help/advice about putting up an
antenna in trees. I suggested he look you up, lives just 8-9 miles from you.
NC4EF I think the call is.
Hope all is well... 73 for now,
Kevin N4UFO
P.S. pics of progress on my sat antennas on my QRZ page:

Hi,
Will be possible to operate with a simple satellite station (vhf & uhf yagis
with preamps)?
How strong the signals can be at this distance? That's farway a lot more
than the satellite I use today :)

I'm told they will have a Facebook page active soon. That should provide an
opportunity to ask the team questions.
At maximum distance signals are clearly going to be very weak, it may even
prove challenging for Moon bounce capable stations.
