Re: Windows 8
I've got my usb-to-serial adapters working under w8 with various ham radio software packages. My serial programming cable is in one of the boxes from our move but which one..? I can't vouch that it will work but I'd be surprised if it didn't. Fill in some more details such as whether your programming cable is usb or serial, which brand chip set it uses, etc.On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 3:52 PM, hamuneggs@... [FT-60] <FT-60@...> wrote:

Windows 8
Much to my dismay I have had to move from XP to Windows 8. I wound up with my mom's new HP all in one with the AMD processor. I have the programming cable from Valley enterprises and it worked great with my MacBook and my XP machine, no luck on the new one. I need some real help on this and any would be appreciated. Thanks in advanced. |

And if you scroll down to the bottom of that eBay page, there's another HK company called Radio Factory that has the CT-44 with a Buy it Now price of $201AU!

Both companies do offer free shipping, though. :) 73, Jim K5JG robert_o_cook@... [FT-60] wrote: Yeah, interesting lesson. I just put CT-44 into ebay and got AU$120. Anyway even the local distributor has them at $29 so the lesson is ebay doesn't always have the lowest prices! |

开云体育I am about 80% done on one for a balloon project using an Arduino Uno, an Argent Data Radio Shield and a $28 2-watt Chinese HT.

Well, aprs proved to be darned handy for my balloon flights. ?Used a byonics freq-agile transmitter to tx both on .390 and a quiet channel. ?I want to try something remote like an solar-powered weather station or a boat at sea. ?Out in the middle of nowhere where digis can't hear, I could tx on a sat freq if I can hit it. ?If I can't track at the remote site, and just use a fixed antenna, I would at least need to program the days/times of view to tx a packet or two when the sat is overhead. ?Even getting one packet through every day or two would be useful. I would have a home station (hand-held at first, then maybe motor-driven) to receive and decode the aprs data from the iss/sat. ?Actually anybody could receive and decode it. ?I just take the audio out of the HT, split it to run to headphones and the audio-input of a laptop, and run the soundcard modem by UZ7HO. Just want to try something different and interesting. gil |

Re: satellite ops
When the ISS passes over me - and I am NOT set up for APRS - I can hear its bursts quite well with a Smiley 270A or other 17" whip on an HT. Well enough to actually use APRS? Darned near ...
OK - with that said - many use verticals that have been "tilted" 20 degrees or so to work FM birds. Not the best setup, but it certainly could work. Excuse me for asking - but what would be the purpose of sending packet/station info through ?the ISS from an unattended station? (Possible "naive mode ON" on my end ... the excitement for me for APRS and the ISS is actually being there to see it all occur ... (grin).) Clint |

Re: satellite ops
Gil Smith
Hi Clint: I see. ?Well, if the iss or sat path prediction cannot be made too accurately for weeks or months ahead, that precludes an autonomous remote system from periodically tracking a pass to send an aprs update. ? Is there a chance of hitting it with a non-directional antenna (knowing at least the approximate time windows when the bird is in view)? ?Things like the SPOT seem to work just fine with a little patch antenna (much higher freq I presume, and likely more than one of their sats in view). ?Can 2m aprs possibly hit the sat with a vertical? ?Horiz dipole? ?Circ-polarized ant matching the polarity of the sat? ?TX power level needed? Any thoughts appreciated. ?thx, ?gil

The US price for the radio is around $160 and the CT-44 is under $20 ($16.95 at HRO). You might want to check your dealer(s) again. 73, Jim K5JG robert_o_cook@... [FT-60] wrote: Wow, just checked the price of the ct-44 adapter. Half the price of the radio! Not today Owen |
