Now that I've most of my antenna farm back up, I've been
experimenting with receiving the ISS 145.825 APRS/packet
transmissions. <br>
<br>
I'm using an Icom discone antenna which works well due to it's fat
vertical pattern, and an old Bearcat 760 scanner, which works quite
nicely due to it's rather wide IF bandpass. (No need to worry
about +/- tuning due to doppler.) I'm feeding the "tape
recording" output of the Bearcat into the mic jack of a netbook
running the UZ7HO Soundmodem. My ultimate plan is to turn this setup
into a full time sat gate. <br>
<br>
<br>
However, the times I am actually hearing the space station have no
correlation to when my APRS maps are show the KJ4ERJ-14 ISS
object as being overhead. <br>
<br>
Lynn, are the Keps for this object updated automatically or do you
have to periodically update them by hand?<br>
