I have a similar problem with Orbitron whilst it will track the aziumth 100%
I get nothing for Elevation readout except 'DO-64'.
Most odd does anyone else have similar problems or are they tracking azimuth
and elevation 100%?

hi folks, anyone out there have a ft 857 and are using it for data downlink
(AT) 9600 baud?
Tested my rig with a far off station yesterday and he copied me fine on the
xmit but I did not copy him. Could it be my tnc settings? anyone have a list
of good 9600 baud sat setttings.
still no-go with go-32 and it went right over my head. darn.

To: amsat-bb(AT)amsat.org
Message-ID: <E1KODaP-0002h3-N5(AT)sebastopol.fdns.net>
I'll be in Scotland from 13 August through 2 September, with 16 August
through 21 August 08 (1200Z) in the Shetland Islands. I'll primarily
be trying to work the eastern Canada and northeastern parts of the US,
and we'll see about Continental passes (as i've had rather disappoiting
results trying to operate from France on two previous occasions). I
will be using an antenna similar in characteristics to an 'Arrow' and
run QRP.
If i've figured this correctly, likely grid squares include IO66, IO75,
IO76, IO77, IO85, IO86 and IP90; and possible grids are IO67, IO78,
IO87, IO88 and IO99. I'll use what is customary in each region, that
is, a four-way exchange with six character grid squares working Europe
and the quicker exchange with four character grids expected in North
America (in order to maximize satellite usage). I may post specifics
to the AMSAT-BB if Internet access is convenient while i'm over there.
Note that i won't be quite as active as on my two recent road trips as
i won't be traveling solo (and have no idea what my western horizons
will look like).
As usual, with North America, i will send out QSL cards after i return
home and get a chance to transcribe all of the passes; you don't need
to send me a card or SASE. Just patience is all that i ask if i already
have your grid square. However, if i have not worked you before, i'd
greatly appreciate it if you would set up a sked to work me at home
(primarily CM88, also CM87; your choice) so i can send you (at least)
two cards. Cards from Europe would be appreciated and you will likely
get my card even if you don't send yours.
I hope to talk to you. 73's and best of luck!

I'm not using WISP with Rascal however in a quick test I could get WiSP to
launch RASCAL
In the program line use:
java -jar c:\rascal\rascal.jar
However, you may get additional error messages. After about a 30 seconds I
got a message saying GSC may not be able to close the program at the end of
the pass and therefore is stopping the rotator and that you should use the
Enable Rotator menu to restart it.
So more work is required to get this working automatically.
Hope this helps you move forward a little to a more complete solution.

Subject: [amsat-bb] DO-64 and Wisp
Hi to the list,
I am using wisp and would like to add the DO-64.
I have added it as keplerians but I cannot get it work with the Rascal
program when the bird comes in AOS.
I have substitute in the scheduling Tab, the line:
C:\Wisp\MSPE.EXE %S
With the line:
C:\Rascl\RASCAL.JAR
But when the DO-64 comes in AOS the program do not run and I get the
following GSC error:
Error running program.GSC was unable to find the program associated with
this Satellite, or there was an error while running it.
I've tried also with this line in the command above:
C:\Rascl\RASCAL.JAR %S
But get the same results.
Any suggestion how to solve it'
Thanks in advanced.

hi folks, was just reading on the net that my ft 857 runs afsk only. does
this mean i will not be able to copy fsk 9600 baud sat downlink?
still learning the fsk,psk,afsk stuff
Like I said, my faraway station did copy me but I was not able to copy him.
hmm

hi folks. I found something about the bandpass filter settings with the
dsp-2 unit on the ft 857.
when i clicked dpf it says 6000 hz for the cutoff.
is this maybe why i am not copying 9000 baud with this rig. should this be
another settings?
tks in advance

According to your radio's manual, it has a 9600 packet output.
You need to make sure you are using that output, and not the 1200
packet output
Since it has that output I would assume it can do it, but I don't know
anything personally about that radio.

Hi,
The 9600 baud output from the DATA port comes more or less directly from the
discriminator, so those settings should have no effect on the signal.
