[amsat-bb] Re: Fm satellite Frequencies and Doppler

[Justin Pinnix]

Hi Kev,

The active FM birds are AO-51, SO-50, AO-27, and ISS.  I think SO-67 and
HO-68 are sometimes available.  I'm sure someone will correct me if I have
omitted any.

You can get their frequencies by clicking on each one on this page:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/status.php

The doppler shift will vary throughout the pass, so there is no one position
that works.  ISS has a VHF downlink that varies +/- 3Khz (approx) during the
pass.  The others have UHF downlinks that vary +/- 15Khz (approx).  It will
always be higher at the beginning, on frequency when the sat is at max
elevation, and lower at the end.  Being FM, the tonal quality won't change,
the signal will just get weaker as it leaves the passband, so periodically
tune around for maximum signal strength.
