SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launched: December 20, 2002
Status: Operational.
Uplink: 145.850 MHz (67.0 Hz PL tone)
Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Greetings,
I have been advised that I can now publish the tone to Open AO-50 to all
users
as the power availability appears to be good. To switch the transmitteron
you
need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.the order of operation is thus:
(allow for Doppler as necessary)
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the repeater
on
and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset the 10
minute timer.
Some additional information ...
The spacecraft repeater consists of a miniature VHF repeater with a
sensitivity of -124 dbm, having an IF bandwidth of 15 KHz. The receive
antenna
is a 1/4 wave vertical mounted in the top corner of the spacecraft. The
receive audio is filtered and conditioned then gated in the control
electronics prior tofeeding it to the 250 mW Transmitter.Thedownlinkantenna
is
a 1/4wave mounted in the bottom corner of thespacecraft andcanted at 45
degrees inward.
