Re: PS-38 HF payload JT9 WSPR

Andy,
That was my first experience of tracking a balloon.
I managed to grab a couple of data downloads on 30m JT9.
Is there somewhere that we can view all the raw data collected?

Thank you so much for the fun - can't wait till the next one :thumbup:

Re: PS-37 High Altitude Balloon Release 8/3/2015 Deniliquin

Downloaded the software.
How do I get my location to appear on the Habhub tracker?

UPDATE: Ok it appeared now :-)

Why does the image above have a frequency different to the operational frequency?

I am using 434.649 MHz ??

Re: New D-Star repeater in Sydney

I can hear it, but I think it is too weak for me to get in from Penrith.

Is there a status page for the repeater?
=========================
Never mind - I found it:
http://vk2rbv.gw.ircddb.net:8881/

My call is not listed so it can't hear me :-(

Re: SSTV from ISS

Well done Murray! I setup my IC-7100 and MMSSTV on 145.800 FM attached to a 2m halfwave vertical at 10m and then went to bed. In the morning I had a single image waiting for me ;-) ISS.jpg Robert, they didn't do it last night. See the link below for details. ​ They are due to do this again on the we...

Australian Ionospheric Prediction Service under threat

The IPS provides forecasts and alerts of ionospheric activity. They may be forced to cease or reduce the Ionospheric Prediction Service, or offer it as a commercial service. http://www.ips.gov.au/ Amateurs are probably most interested in their HF condition reports: http://www.ips.gov.au/HF_Systems T...

Re: 2m Powerline show stopper

I don't think any of this is helping Rob and his powerline noise problem.

How is the noise today Rob?
Did you track it down?

Re: 2m Powerline show stopper

Strangely, this morning, the noise on 2m stopped completely. IC910 S meter not moving. It had been going for at least 3 days solid, 24/7. I am now of course waiting for it to come back. If there is still no RF noise late this evening when there is no traffic about, I will take a walk out to the sus...

Re: Known good STBs for digital ATV in VK

Ron, They sent me some firmware to install. Version: D618 I have installed it and I can now enter the frequency. Unfortunately I don't have a signal from the local ATV repeater VK2RTS at this time, so I can't tell you if it actually works or not :-( Drop me an email and I will send it to you. Everyt...

Re: Known good STBs for digital ATV in VK

That's great,
Check your hardware version in the system menu.
Probably different to Ron's and mine :-)

Re: Known good STBs for digital ATV in VK

Hi Ron,
Does anyone want to purchase two new Strong 5430 devices?
Looks like Ron and I may be listing them on eBay ;-)

I have just emailed Strong Tech Support.

I will let you know how I get on....

Re: Known good STBs for digital ATV in VK

I just bought a Strong 5430 here in Sydney from HN. Unfortunately it does not have manual frequency tuning:-( It must be a different firmware version. Mine is as follows: SRT 5430 SW Version: C911 (from system menu) HW Version: 01-01-04-02 (from system menu) The downloadable firmware from the Sound ...
