hello,
indeed the so much low sign that the tnc is not layers of decoding the plot, I use the sound card emulating the tnc with the progrma AGW and the UISS to connect me.
For what I read the sign of the ISS it changes phase 4 times in a pass and I believe that that it is for this reason the lost of sign that I have, when not being able to receive the reception confirmation the program it disconnects me without being able to give the message to the PMS.

I believe that I have to look for an antenna for satellites LEO of easy construction.

thank you for any help.

yes the ISS are in semplex mode

Send your signaal up on 145.800
Down of the ISS are 145.800..

as far i can tell. they are

I already have serveral QSO with the ISS gone to packet-radio over my build-in TNC of the Kenwood TS-2000 amateur radio transceiver..
There are different posibilities of the TNC activate.. For example in the Hostmode via Microsoft HyperTerm or in the KISS-mode about the Flexnet-Driverinterface and a terminalprogram (e.g. Paxon)..

Preparations for the TS-2000:
-----
Connect the serial interface of your computer with "bothside" sockets over a nine-pole cable with the COM-connector of the TS-2000.. You still must carry out a couple of attitudes in the menu of the TS-2000 now.. Call menu number 46 and choose the sub band as the data band.. This is default.. "TNC" should be seen in the right area of the display.. Call menu number 47 and choose 1200bps as the transfer rate between the transceiver and the ISS-PMS..
Call menu number 48 and choose DCD-sense as TNC-Band.. The DCD is a method with which one impedes the internal TNC to send data if straight data traffic takes place on the QRG..
Check you for the transmission rate between PC and TNC (TS-2000) as the last under menu number 56.. It leaves at 9600 bd.
Put the "Packet Operation" "ON" under menu numer 55.. The letters "PKT" appear in the display above on the right..

Configuration of HyperTerm:
--
Feels the simplest is HyperTerm.. At first the windows program Hyper terminal is started. You find the program under: Windows-Start > all programs > accessories > comunication.. Chooses a "new connection" and then at "connect abort ..." the through Port about COM1 or COM2 to COM4, that is the serial interface of your computer..
At the connection attitudes you dail 9600 and for the handshake-control "Hardware"..
The 9600bps is the transmission rate between the computer and the TS-2000 which you have adjusted under the menu number 56 at this TS-2000..
Under attitudes > ASCII configuration you put only the arrow "interrupting lines in the terminal window when too long".. No-one or else!! Turn the sub-receiver off once and then switch on again..
If erverything works properly, you receive on the screen a status report, this one start with a "TASCO radio modem..."..
You are in command-mode (CMD and you can send orders to the TNC.. Enter the following orders after each other..
You put the Callsign as the first with MYCALL.. The baudrate you can change with hbaud.. For connect to ISS you need 12OO!!
To listen on the QRG MON, MCON and MCOM must be set ON..
Further TNC orders are in the operating instructions to TS-2000 on the pages 11o to 112.. To connect to the ISS-PMS, you put the following order to TNC:
C RS0ISS-11..

I hope i could help you.. ICQ-No.: 150193182
At questions i am still available under O7RAY@darc.de" target="_new">DO7RAY@darc.de up to 1-2-2004.. 73 es hpe cuagn on iss-pms de DO7RAY..

I use the internal modem on a Kenwood TMD700E, I think it is the same modem (but only 5kHz channelling). & I drive it with Packcom and it works fine.

Kevin,
ISS radio freqs are currently misconfigured. They are on 145.800 simplex.
RS0ISS-11 is the BBS call, RS0ISS-4 is the digipeater.

The AMSAT SAREX listserve usually has current info.

Lately the ISS has been using 145.800 simplex for the APRS and Packet operations. Digi callsign is rs0iss-4. I suspect that they will eventually go back to the previous split of 145.800 down and 145.99 up.

I presume that voice operations are still via the normal split of 145.800 down and 144.49 up in ITU region 2 (including US) but have not tried this.

Good Luck,

>>> 8:54 Disconnected from RS0ISS-11

Yes, my QSO today was using 145.800 simplex. I tried to connect on the first pass with the standard split but it did not work. I turned off the split for the next pass and had no problem. Also used RS0ISS-4 as the digi.

Great to hear that ISS is active. I suspect the reason that the ISS station heard list is not displaying activity is due to the callsign change. It lists stations heard via RS0ISS but not RS0ISS-4.
I look forward to working it on the next pass in 20 minutes.

Kenneth
