[amsat-bb] Lilacsat-2 & EO-85 SATPC32 Setup?

[wa4sca at gmail.com]

Hi David,


I was able to do several runs with a GPS frequency and time standard rig.  Now that we have good Keps I found that it is running consistently 1400 Hz low.  Determining the actual uplink is a bit trickier, but can be done with patience.  Someone, (WD9EWK??) reported that the uplink was about 10 KHz low.  While I was making downlink measurements, I did hear Patrick and he had about the best audio I have heard.


73s,

Hi Jayson.
 
Over here in Europe, AO-85 has a lot of users who are always slightly off frequency which produces poor audio on the transponder.
 
My guess is that the uplink frequency needs tweaking for optimum auto tracking.  
The downlink appears about 2k low at 145.978, but to be fair that isn't a problem with FM.
 
Good luck
 
David

Hi All,

 

I was wondering if someone could help me with the setup files
for the
Lilacsat-2 andEO-85 FM birds, as for some reason I'm unable to trigger
the
input on either bird - I'm hearing the beacons fine though.

 

For
Lilacsat-2 I have the following in the Doppler.SQF file




LILACSAT-2,437200,144350,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,FM
Transponder

LILACSAT-2,437225,144350,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,CW
Beacon

LILACSAT-2,144390,144390,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,APRS

 

For EO-85 I have
the following in the Doppler.SQF file




AO-85,145980,435170,FM,FM,NOR,0,0

 

Along with these details in the
SubTone.SQF file

 

AO-85,67.0,$3F,1

 

Is there anything blaringly
obvious that I've done wrong?
