I just finished reading JoAnne Maepaa's (K9JKM) excellent PDF on ISS packet
operation. Thank you JoAnne.
Couple of questions, please:
1) What "Terminal Emulator" do members use?
2) Looking at the examples in her PDF I noticed "qAR and qAS." What are
these terms?
It has been at least 10 years since my brush with packet. I have to really
REBOOT my brain, for sure.
Thank you & 73,

Hi Gerald.
I was wondering about the meaning of those Q-constructs in packet log files
just the other day.
This link spells them out:
http://www.aprs-is.net/q.aspx
As for terminal software, I use UISS on a Windows PC but technology is
catching up with us and many people are having success with radios (HT's in
particular) that have APRS / packet capability built in.

Anybody use this handheld for AO85 or SO50? I Have read the instruction
manual - as it is - a few times and STILL am scratching my head. I want to
set it up to work these two birds - full-duplex - and still work some local
repeaters. That should be do-able right??? If you have an APP you have
done and it does something like this can you email it to me please ( .KG

Hi!
I don't have a KG file to share, but those should not be shared
between radios anyway. Those files are not like the config files
used in the "normal" ham radios like you get from Icom, Kenwood,
and Yaesu. But I can offer some suggestions and advice...
The KG-UV8D is not capable of working SO-50 full-duplex. When you
transmit on 2m, the 70cm receiver is desensed. You won't hear
the satellite again until you stop transmitting. The radio is
capable of working AO-85 full-duplex. I wrote about this on the
AMSAT-BB list a year ago, and you can see that message at:
http://amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2015-November/056254.html
I do not use memory channels for working AO-85. I use the two
VFOs, open the squelch all the way for the receive VFO, and
transmit from the other VFO. That link has some key settings
I used with that radio.
You can program a group of memory channels to work SO-50 half-
duplex. A guide for that is available from AMSAT's Station and
Operating Hints page at:
http://www.amsat.org/?page_id=2144
(look for the document "Operating FM Satellites")
Or use another HT with your KG-UV8D, so you can transmit from one
radio while listening to the other radio for full-duplex operation.
If you want to use an HT to work both AO-85 and SO-50 full-duplex,
there is only one option currently in production: Kenwood TH-D72A.
The new TH-D74A is not capable of full-duplex operation for any FM
satellite. Wouxun's KG-UV9D, like the KG-UV8D, is capable of working
AO-85 full-duplex, but not SO-50. Along with the KG-UV8D, I wrote
about a few other Chinese-made HTs and tried using them to work
FM satellites full-duplex. They could do that with AO-85, but not
SO-50. You can get to the messages covering the other radios I
wrote about at:
http://amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2015-December/056269.html
73!

Myself and another operator from our club are making a trip to Pensacola
this Thursday and Friday to activate Gulf Islands National Seashore for
NPOTA, in EM60. While we are in the area, Thursday evening (12/01) we are
going to make an excursion into MS to operate sats from EM50 and 51. If I
can find a spot, I'll try and be on the 51/50 line. The current plan is to
get there around 2200z and operate several linear passes, staying around
until the 0200z SO-50 pass to cover the FM only guys.
EM51/50 is the primary grid goal this trip, along with the HF park
activation. Other grid stops may be possible on the trip to/from Pensacola,
so if anyone needs anything in the I-10 corridor, let me know and I'll try
to accommodate :)
Stay tuned on Twitter @xxxxxxx and APRS as KK4FEM-5.

(Forgive me for asking; I know that I have read a write-up somewhere, but
can't find it now.)
It is my perception that some portable operators are using these Chinese
HT's (specifically BaoFeng) along with their Arrow Antennas. Maybe that I
am wrong.
Which model is being used, if that is so. Thanks.

I use the Baofeng UV-5R and a Wouxon KG-UV6D. I use the Baofeng as a
transmit radio and the Wouxon for receive. The Wouxon has a freq knob on top
of the radio. Makes changing frequencies so easy. I have to say I love the
Baofeng. For the $28 (with shipping) it is a solid radio. I have used this
two radio setup with my arrow for a few months and have had zero issues.
Good luck
