ISS 9K6 packet via a soundcard

 

10/December /2008

Orbit 57.631

16:42 - 16:52 UTC

I succeded to work ISS packet mode at 9k6

using AWGPE and UISS softwares and a soundcard

Here are snapshots include my sategate report to APRS

ST2NH- SATGATE 

 11-11-2008

I put my satation as SATGATE on air today . Using UI-VIEW software

I succeded to report the APRS transmitted from the  ISS to the internet  APRS .

My  callsign (ST2NH) appear on Amateur Radio Stations heard via ISS website .

I just recieved the APRS beacon from the ISS. I did not transmit any packet .

Even I have no PTT line attached to my RIG . 

 

To Setup  your station as a  Satgate  satation

First you need to setup your softwares

Get a validation number for UI-VIEW32  and for UISS  Sategate Module.

Setup your AGW packet engine for soundcard or  TNC

Take the audio  and feed it to your PC if the soundcard chosed as A/D converter.

For sure you need an  internet line  to connnect

 your satgate to APRS servers .

 

Notice to setup your software as a satgate you need to know many things and rules.

googling the net for more info or email me.

 

My satgate well be temporally on and off   for experments .

 

 

 

Here you can see the packet  I got from ISS using ui-view

 Software with AGW PACKET ENGINE SOFTWARE VER 2002

  

 

 

 

Other software for satgate is UISS with the SATEGATE  module

I wll try to use it for more experament soon.

Using a UISS with satgate module 

My UISS SATEGATE is on .

I log hz1am from KSA via ISS APRS  via my  sat-gate to APRS net

Using UISS  with sategate module .

 

 

 

 

 

Station heard by ISS and reported by satgate  .

 

 

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

17-11-2008

I setup my TNC ( TNC 3 S  - SYMEK ) to work with AGW packet engine .

Setting up the AGW with a TNC is so easy. Now  my soundcard is so happy to play music  :-)

No more many wires  between the Rig and PC.

 

UISS works very nice with AGW and the TNC .

I worked with this setup  PCSAT NO_44 APRS  Orbit  # 37.231 .

 

NO-44 replyed to my APRS very will, Sadly no satgate around to pick up my APRS  :-(

Here is screen shot of UISS with NO-44  PCSAT

 

 

 

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 17-11-2008 

 Next  NO-44 pass , orbit # 37.232

I put my UISS  sategate on 

 I succeded to report the PCSAT APRS to the  internet.
