Hi Matthew,
On 2m when on FM mode do you hear the white noise when you open the

I'm having a strange issue with my 821. Periodically I lose all sensitivity,
which I've particularly noticed on 2m SSB. I can attach and detach an
antenna with no change in the noise level, and can't hear anything in the
receiver (like the XW-2* beacons, or the AO-73 telemetry). Resetting the
radio seems to fix it.
It doesn't appear to be affecting 70cm, although I haven't had much chance
to test that (there's not always a mode j sat up at the same time as a mode
b one, and when it happens I'm normally just trying to reset the radio as
fast as I can do I can operate the pass). Has anyone experienced anything
like this before?

This reminds me of a problem I have with my FTM400 and other Yaesu now.
Their positions don't show up in APRS+SA maps. (V9) They do show up in
APRS.FI okay.
Could it be because Yaesu's append a " _% " on the end of every packet they
send?
This was two years ago.
I even sent the FTM400 back to Yaesu, but they didn't find anything wrong.
I gave up and went back to using my old TM-D700's for mobile's.
Would there be a way to work around this? Or do I have to use some other
program to monitor with?

Bob,
Being the father of APRS, I would think a call to Yaesu might result in a
Firmware change to add the function.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Space Center Houston, Houston, TX on 13 June. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 15:19 UTC. It is recommended that you
start listening approximately 10 minutes before this time.The duration of
the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a
telebridge between OR4ISS and ON4ISS. The contact should be audible over
Belgium and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on
the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
We have had confirmation that the Goonhilly receiver, other European HamTV
receivers and the BATC Transport Stream merger facility are available for
HamTV use during the telebridge contact with the Space Centre Houston. The
HamTV live stream can be viewed during the contact at
https://hamtv.batc.tv/live/ .
Space Center Houston exists to tell the story of human space flight. Hosting
the ARISS contact allows the Center to engage students in human space flight
by a first-hand, real time experience. Space Center Houston's year-long
education plan engages students from pre-kindergarten through college, with
special emphasis on supporting underserved and underrepresented students.
The ARISS contact event will be an impactful part of our summer camp program
for 2017, which will be available for students of ages 12-14, in 6th through
9th grade. Generally, attendance for summer day camps comes primarily from
the Clear Creek Independent School District.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How different is astronaut food from food here on earth?
2. What experiments are currently being conducted on the Space Station?
3. What do astronauts do when not in space?
4. How long does it take to become an astronaut?
5. What does it feel like to float constantly?
6. What is the biggest challenge you face as an astronaut?
7. What do astronauts do on their time off on the Space Station?
8. What is your biggest challenge living on the ISS?
9. How does someone become an astronaut?
10. What languages do you speak on the ISS?
11. What made you want to become an astronaut?
12. Why are there fewer women astronauts than men?
13. How does astronaut activity on the ISS affect people on Earth?
14. Do you have any interesting stories about the ISS?
15. What do you dislike most about being an astronaut?
16. How does Robonaut help astronauts on the ISS?
17. What experiments are you working on that will help get humans to Mars?
18. What is the funniest thing that has happened on the ISS?
19. Are you ever scared going up into space?
20. What kind of backgrounds do astronauts have?

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more informa
tion, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,

I was able to pick up yesterday's pass at about 2:15pm CDT driving south
along I-35 in central OK. This was a Mode A pass, as I could distinctively
hear the FM-ing of CW signals around 29.450, but I was not able to pick out
the telemetry beacon at 29.502. My code skills are rusty, so I didn't catch
the station's call.
Rig is IC-706MKIIG with AH-4 matching a 98" whip mounted on the back hitch.
Preamp was on.

Hi all,
I yet have to work someone other than N4UFO on mode A, usually when the
bird gets flipped there are no-one on mode A. Therefore I don't always
setup for mode A.
I usually work trunk mobile.

I'm posting this ad on behalf of a third party who wishes to remain
anonymous for now.
He has both a base and a portable ham satellite station for sale. The
base station includes a Kenwood TS-790A transceiver, amplifiers, power
supplies, and antennas for the 2 m, 70 cm, and the 2.4 GHz bands. The
portable station consists of a Kenwood TH-D72 handheld transceiver and
an Arrow dual-band yagi antenna.
He would prefer to sell each as complete packages. He's asking $4165 (CDN)
for the base station and $390 (CDN) for the portable gear.
Contact me for further information. Anyone who is interested in
purchasing the complete stations, or individual components, can
contact me as well and I will forward the message.
