Titolo: new 2m repeater on space station

new 2m repeater on space station
a new 2m repeater is now operating on the 
international space station 24 x 7 
the uplink is on uhf 437.800 and the downlink is on vhf 145.800
no tone burst or ctcss is required
the radio is a  kenwood tmd700 operating in remote crossband mode
it just retransmits on vhf what it hears on uhf
so if you are getting through you can hear yourself
on the downlink
anyone can work it using a co-linear 
to see where the space station is 'live' check 
http://science.nasa.gov/temp/StationLoc.html
for 3 days in advance predictions download the pcsat decoder program
http://www.ui-view.com/uiview32/pcdec242.msi
when the iss repeater is being worked the audio may be streamed in the
amsat
conference server on echolink so anyone anywhere in the world can
listen in

In quest'orbita un po' caotico come sempre...ma arriva a paletta, pensa che 
la sentivo anche sul VX5 col suo gommino, qualche minuto solo: rispetto alle 
antenne esterne segnale fondoscala anhce senza preampli!
Accidenti potrebbero buttarci su un bel transponder Larga banda SSB ... ;-)) 
Peccato duri proprio pochino...
e il FootPrint limitatuccio, ci spariam su un po' di potenza che lo buttiamo 
un po' fuori orbita?!? :-))))))))) peccato, per ora non arriva a 400km di 
altezza.
ciao

 antenne esterne segnale fondoscala anhce senza preampli!
confermo anch'io l'ascolto di circa un minuto con th-f7 e gommino per
l'orbita #33223. domani provo con una 3 el. in vhf e vediamo!

Bello!
finalmente abbiamo un nuovo ponte ripetitore ......... mobile :-))))))
Peccato che la banda UHF a noi concessa non arrivi fino a 437Mhz o sbaglio?
:-(((((((
Dobbiamo accontentarci di ascoltare :-))))  per una volta swl coatti :-((((

 Dai dati dei passaggi, quando prevedi di essere QRV su 145.800?
settimana prossima dovrebbero arrivarmi i nuovi coax, spero presto... ma 
conoscendo la mia sfortuna... sarâ giâ spento...

domanda a chi ne sa di piú: qual è il motivo tecnico per cui si preferisce
usare un trasponder che riceve in uhf e ritrasmette in vhf anzichè un
"normale" ripetitore in uhf o in vhf ?
ciao,
Marco / iw2nzm

 "normale" ripetitore in uhf o in vhf ?
Solo motivi logistici. Impiegare un ripetitore (in banda ham) 
richiederebbe un duplexer ben più complesso, ma soprattutto ingombrante 
e pesante e molto delicato meccanicamente. Invece mettere un trasponder 
su una radio che si possiede già non richiede nulla di tutto ciò ;-)
