HELP NEEDED SETTING UP KPC-3 FOR ISS CONTACT

CAN ANYONE HELP ME SET UP A KPC-3 TNC SO I CAN USE IT FOR ISS CONTACTS ?

I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECEIVE THE PACKET FROM THEM, BUT NOT CONNECT TO THEM.

WHEN I PURCHASED THE TNC, IT DID NOT COME WITH A MANUAL, THE PREVIOUS OWNER LOST IT...

THANK YOU

Antenna Polarization

I'm working on some antennas for an ARISS contact early next year and I'm wondering what Antenna Polarization (RH or LH) I should be using?
Also, on UHF which is more prominent on the current sats? I'll set the antenna to RH or LH by default for the most popular.

Regards,
Peter

What aerial do you use?

Hi, I would be interested to know what aerials are used by you guys to receive the ISS. I am making a turnstile at the moment and would be interested to hear your comments about various types of aerials.

War against SPAM

Hello,

I recently upgraded the signup procedure to block unwanted subscriptions performed by Spam bots and/or human Spammers.

In the past few days I don't see any more spam subscribers, but I saw spammers reactivating fake accounts that had been left dormant for months.

For this reason, I am about to drop 2451 accounts that are highly suspicious of being automatically registered by spamming networks. The criteria I used to identify them are:

1) the nickname IS NOT an amateur radio callsign
2) the registration date is after 2010
3) the account has never been used
