Satellites: NetSDR/DownConveter + TS-2000


Simon Brown
 

Hi,

 

Listening with the NetSDR + Down converter, transmit with the TS-2000.

 

First pass of FO-29 – total cock-up my side.

Second pass of FO-29 – worked DM2FB, CT3FM, IK8YSS, M0NPT, OM3CLS, GM4ILS.

 

The Satellite tracking in the console also provides Doppler-correction for the TS-2000. So my idea is viable, I still need to refine this J .

 

Next pass in 48 minutes will be interesting – covers new England and the UK at the same time.

K8YSE, FO-29, beautiful QSO. All that programming paid off…

Excellent!

Good for you. Now, you know what is coming your way?? Request for more radios (support for TX). How about the IC-9100? Just to put a pitch in :-) Running mine with SatPC32 right now and the airspy on Sdr-radio.

Hi,

 

It’s working with OmniRig so any standard radio will be fine. I’m having fun on FO-29, with each pass I’m ironing out errors in the code, I’m using the TMate II to control the SDR & mute the audio while I speak as the delays make me crazy J .

 

Shame there isn’t more satellite activity – the next pass would be a good one for US & Canada ó Cornwall.

I tried with FO-29 years ago.

I had a poor antenna and my 2m rig was USB only so I tried my very bad CW.
About 5 replied to my first CQ, I regret to say that I was lost and did not make a contact.
Those were the days when the CAT was on the mat.

Happy Christmas

Alan, be careful using the Charlie Alfa Tango word in this group!
The Delta Oscar Golf may turn crazy .
Gaute,

Oh! I had forgotten Simon's boss:)
But I never mastered manual 70cm doppler correction. The only contacts I had were on Phase 3 birds, I do not think any more of those will be launched..
