Subject: Four APRS balloon flights this weekend
From: "Mark Conner" <n9xtn@cox.net>

There are four flights of APRS-equipped balloons scheduled for this
Saturday, all launching between 1400 and 1430 UTC:

Nebraska Stratospheric Amateur Radio (NSTAR) - east of Omaha NE
Callsign N9XTN-11 on 144.34, N9XTN-12 on 144.39
Digipeater alias NSTAR on 144.34
Robot 36 SSTV every 3 min on 147.585
http://members.cox.net/mconner1/nstar.html

HABITAT/SkyLab - southwest of Kansas City, KS
Callsign KA0JLF-11 on 144.34
Digipeater alias SKYLAB on 144.34
http://habitat.netlab.org/index.shtml

Project:Traveler - Hutchinson, KS
Callsign W0ZC-? on 144.34 - ATV on 434 MHz (cable 59)
No digipeater
http://www.rckara.org/project_traveler/2003a/

Experimental Sub-Orbital Society (ES-OS) - north of Boulder CO
Four (!) APRS payloads:

147.470 Call sign kc0jhq-11.
N7QAM-11 "Skypumpkin" TNC.   144.340 MHz.  Alias= SIX  digi= ON.
This is for UI EBBBE with the balloon
groups in Nebraska and Kansas who are planning to fly
at the same time.   Hams from Colorado and adjoining
states are welcome to use our skyborne digipeater for
this fun event.
KC0JHQ-10 UHF tracker output 445.555 MHz one packet per 30
seconds.
KC0JHQ-12 new "packet DTMF" with camera and APRS. Output on
144.39 MHz.

Users within about 300-350 miles of the launch sites for the
digipeater-equipped balloons should be able to get into them.  If you do
plan to use the balloon digipeaters, please do NOT set up automatic
transmissions on 144.34.  This is to avoid unintentional QRM and overtaxing
the digipeater.  Also, do NOT attempt to connect to any of the airborne
TNCs (it won't work).

Flight time is about 2-2.5 hours.  If you have any questions, just e-mail
me.

Hummh,

I was on that pass.  I commanded it to its daily settings and uploaded a
bulletin and turned on the BText and the Bulletin.  I showed 6 users that
pass...  and pcsat.aprs.org shows 4...

It was a way NE pass, so I doubt it was visible in FLorida.  Next pass at
11:30 EST should be great for florida... and the one at 1320 EST should be
your last for the day and a pretty good one at that..

Subject: RX-only in UI-View32 and AGWPE?
From: Miller Scott Contr 30SCS/FTI <Scott.Miller@vandenberg.af.mil>

For experimentation purposes, I run AGWPE with a scanner for RX only
operation.  When I fire up UI-View32, though, AGWPE hangs as soon as it
tries to transmit.  Is there any way to prevent UI-View32 from transmitting
(setting beacon to 0 didn't do it), or better yet to keep AGWPE from
freaking out when it can't transmit?

Thanks...

Scott, N1VG

Hi Scott,

Roger Barker, the creator of Ui-View, is always lurking in the 
background of the ui-view group of yahoo at;   ui-view@yahoogroups.com
and most likely will provide a much faster response to your question, or 
maybe go to the site of AGWPE..

Good luck,

Robbie,  wa9inf

Hi Scott,

As an after thought, I would select in Setup/Station, No beaconing by 
zeroing out the Beacon Rate boxes for Fixed and Mobile and Internet.. 
Thus no attempts to transmit by UI-View...

Scott,

I presume you are using AGWPE with a sound card. Have you tried turning
'Full Duplex' off in AGW's options for the sound card ?
Alternatively try changing the COM port that AGW is using to try and 'key'
your receiver.
AGW shouldn't really care if you have a transmitter or a receiver attached.
It doesn't know if the PTT is doing anything or not. The fact that the audio
out and PTT are not connected will not make any difference, you would still
have the same problem if you had a transmitter.

It's a modem..   Any cable from a PC to 25 pin Modem connector works.  Same
as the Kantronics TNC's with 25 pin connectors.

Here's my notes.  http://www.jnos.org/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/HeathHK21
