That's an interesting situation:
If the balloon is on 145.825 and Aeronautical mobile is not permitted on the
UK licence......
Who holds the transmitting licence for this?
David G0MRF
AMSATs in New England and Cape Cod!
You?ll be the last to get hits from the balloon. It is now (1700 EST) out
south of Nantucket and heading east. Got one hit from an IGate in Boston.
Should have a few more hours range to good Oscar stations?
Its on 145.825. Call is AD6AM-13

Hi folks,
I have just changed the sat into continuous transponder mode. Plan is to
switch back to auto mode on Sunday 8 Jan 2017 pm UTC. This will give a long
opportunity for transponder operations over the Holidays
Pls see below for FUNcube transponder info
Have FUN with the transponder.
All the best for the holiday season, and for 2017
73s Jim G3WGM and the FUNcube team.
AO-73 FUNcube-1
The transponder is normally operational only when the satellite is in
eclipse, ie the solar panels are NOT being illuminated. During weekends
(from pm Fridays UTC to PM Sundays UTC) the transponder is operational 24/7.
When the transponder is switched off, the telemetry beacon is on full power,
when the transponder is on the beacon it is on low power. During holidays,
eg Christmas, New Year, Easter, etc, the transponder maybe activated for
extended periods. Watch AMSAT-BB for announcements which are usually made on
Friday evenings (UTC)
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.150 - 435.130 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.950 - 145.970 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.935 MHz BPSK
(The passband may be up to 15kHz higher depending on on-board temps. Low
temperatures give higher freqs!)
FUNcube-2 aka FUNcube on UKube
The FUNcube-2 sub-system continues to operate autonomously and, almost
continuously, in amateur mode. The transponder is operational and the
telemetry downlink is functioning with
about 70mW output. The FUNcube-1 Dashboard does not correctly display the
telemetry but it
does correctly decode the data and uploads it to the FUNcube Data Warehouse
from where
it can be examined. Most of the real time data channels are operational and
these include
battery voltages, temperatures and ADCS data coming via the main On Board
Computer (OBC).
The transponder is interrupted for a few seconds every 2 minutes when the
other transmitter
sends its CW beacon and, occasionally, for a few seconds when the main OBC
reboots (approx seven times each orbit).
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.080 - 435.060 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.930 - 145.950 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.915 MHz BPSK
(The passband may be up to 10kHz higher depending on on-board temps. Low
temperatures give higher freqs!)
EO79 FUNcube-3
Due to power budget constraints the transponder cannot be operational 24/7
and an orbit specific schedule has been developed. The transponder will
commence operation 27 minutes after the spacecraft enters sunlight and will
stay on for a period of 25 minutes. This schedule may be modified in future
months as a result of experience.
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.077-435.047 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.935-145.965 MHz USB
All FUNcube transponders are sponsored by AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-NL. We are very
grateful for the assistance given by Innovative Solution In Space Bv, The
Netherlands.

Hi Folks,
Anyone can give me an hand to understand this program before I go to buy
it?,
I cannot understand how to have all the satellites under my eyes.
what have I done is:
Went in Satellites/ Sat-Groups
And have created 5 Groups:
STANDARD
IK8OZV
IK8OZV_1
IK8OZV_2
IK8OZV_3
In each group I have put 12 satellites but I have noticed that if I have set
Standard as group, if there will be a satellite rising in others group it
will not advise till I switch the group that has the satellite raising.
Where am I missing?
Thanks

Morning,
Both DM780 and MixW support full duplex, and I have both, but I am looking
for a freeware program to
recommend to people who ask. I have been looking at the Fldigi software, and
am wondering if anyone
has experience using it full duplex? Being a very capable, free suite of
programs, there is a large
user base.
I did RTFM, or more accurately did a lot of searching for terms, but didn't
find anything. A query to
the support group only came back with the recommendation that "I think you
can run two versions
simultaneously, and that might help."

Alan,
I have never tried it but having followed the FLIDIGI group for years I know
it can be done.
A Google search on " running multiple copies of fldigi" brings up many links
and PDF's on how to easily set up multiple copies of FLDIGI applicable for
AMSAT purpose. I have been meaning to try it myself but have not formally
tried it.
Good luck and Happy Holidays.
