Hello Community
has someone experience with the DXPatrol Groundstation in CW?
There is only a HF Vox - so how well is this working with a regular 70cm transceiver?
PS: I know, the GS is only simplex ...

Tnx for the pictures Rob !.
DXPatrol did not respond to my request for pictures :-/
- On the first pcicture - there is an unpopulated battery next to the GPS unit? How long will the GPS fix take?
- On the second picture - the board is mounted slanted in the case or is this an optical illusion?
- What are your experiences with the ground station? The VOX is working fine? Also with CW?
Thanks in advance Rob!

Hi Albert
dumb question - you've tried to load the CSV-file in the ZIP-file into CS-9700?
The file you load into CS-9700 can be opended i.e. with NOTEPAD and is human readable - correct?
I've currently tried it with V1.12 and my CSV-file from this thread andd it worked as expected.

I've contacted Leo Bodnar <problems@leobodnar.com> via mail and they gave me this for 10MHz / 25MHz within 1h:

English version is running fine - I assume Erich will publish a new German version in the near future.

Update
Erich found a glitch in the GERMAN version - I'll have to check the ENGLISH version this evening ...

Hi Forum
I have a strange issue with the IC-9700 & SatPC32 combo.
When running SatPC32 ((06/2019) to control my IC-9700 (FW 1.11), the downlink channel always uses the D-mode (USB-D, FM-D) instead the regular mode (USB, FM).
I can switch via the front-panel to USB/FM but selecting the next satellite switches back to D-mode.
I've resetted the IC-9700 to factory defaults and reconfigured the IC-9700 according the presets from DK1TB http://www.dk1tb.de/IC9700_settings_dt.htm - same behaviour.
Erich DK1TB, the autor of SatPC32, has no idea what causes this behaviour - but he's running FW 1.06 on his IC-9700 - maybe this causes the behaviour?!
Has anybody tested and/or experienced a similiar issue?

The classic issue - i8n and NLS

Import-/Export-files should be never NLS dependent :-/

Hi Roger
I'm also running FW 1.11 and CS9700 in V1.10.
I have an idea - can you please post the file, you was able to load, here in the forum?!
-
I used the import function when the "Satellite/Satellie memory" section is selected in the tree - works without problems?!
Attached you find my current sat memory exported from CS9700.

PH2M Frank many thanks for the settings!

Hi Forum
has somebody already entered the various HAM satellites into his IC-9700 SAT-memory and is willing to share the list with us/me?
A CSV-export file from CS-9700 application would be great!

Hi Clive

Hi Forum
any suggestions for an azimut/elevation ratotor?
I assume the currently available ones are
- YAESU G5500
- SPID RAS
- Prosistel PST2051D-PRO + PST2051E COMBO
The SPID looks a little bit "hand-made" and the YAESU seems to be no longer available in the EU?!
Any suggestions?

Current status on my POTY
It worked ~100mW at the dish and five SSB-QSOs done today - these guys had good ears!
Now another preamp in front of the WIFI booster is necessary to get more power to the dish ...

I'll come back to the DB4UM design - has someone build this PA in the meantime?

Congrats Wolfgang - this is also my target setup - currently struggling with my available time ... and some Chinese amps ...//Dietmar

When I check the hf-satcom plot he measured >30dB return loss:

But yes, you're right I will try transmitting over QO-100 and optimize later ...
