    SSTV Series 23 - Update 5 SSTV Status: Update as of 27-Dec 4:30 PM ET 12:30 UTC Earlier today around 14:00 UTC) the ops team began investigating reports that the SSTV transmission was no longer being heard on 145.800 MHz. In the past few hours, amateur operators are reporting SSTV transmissions from the ISS on 437.550 MHz. While this is not the nominal frequency for SSTV, you may want to monitor it as well as 145.800 until we receive further updates from Ops. TA1BPA

    The first pass here on the east coast was carrier only. The next 3 were nothing. I reached out to ARISS at 0350 this morning and they said they would look into it and try and get a message to them. They sent a message back to me at 0540 saying they had a configuration problem and that it should be all good. The 8am local time eastern, was clean and strong. I only got the last 12 seconds of #3 and then all of #4. Hopefully tonight will be better. W2GPR

    Which radio are you using? Is it full duplex?

    • @w8cptCptDon
      @w8cptCptDon 2 месяца назад

      @veritasweasel TYT UV-390 with OPENGD77 Firmware. It's not full duplex but the OPENGD77 tracks the doppler. Full duplex is not very useful on FM Satellites. I have a Kenwood TS-2000 in my shack with a Sarctrac Rotor and the only time I hear myself back is when it's straight overhead. I've made over 1000 FM Satellite QSOs just fine without full duplex. You just have to be courteous and only tx when you can hear people well and try not to key up over others....
