1k2 APRS via Satellite successful
K4KDR
Hi everyone. Just wanted to share that I was able to get digipeated this morning via satellite "AISAT-1" as it passed over the U.S. East Coast.
With an FT-857d connected to the DRAWS & up/down freqs being controlled via CAT from GPredict, Direwolf served as the packet modem. The "beacon" command that is part of ax25-tools allows you to send payload text of your choice from the Pi. I just have a number of scripts as clickable icons containing the strings I want as properly formatted APRS "text", "position", & "message" type packets. Of course the UISS program on Windows is more capable, but sometimes we have to make compromises or do things differently on the Pi. Here is a tweet with screen shots: https://twitter.com/scott23192/status/1167834188822777858 -Scott, K4KDR ======

Great to hear your success!! Motivates me to play with my projects! I have a nice 9600 baud demo with DRAWS using P2P paclink-unix that I'll be showing at Summer Gathering next weekend. [https://lowervalleyassembly.us/tag/summer-gathering/] /Basil K4KDR <scott23192@gmail.com> writes:

Sounds great, Basil! We currently have 9600 APRS available with satellite FalconSat-3, so I'll give that a try when there's a favorable pass. With the volume of cubesats being deployed these days, hopefully there will be more with 2-way 9600 capability soon. -Scott ======================
