My aim tomorrow is to put together a video showing how to use OscarWatch FT4, as I think new users will find it useful. But first, I need some rest. 💤😴🛌

Just worked W7WXR in United States Of America 🇺🇸 (Gridsquare: EN16) on RS-44 🛰️ using FT4. Which is a new grid for me

9600 Baud G3RUH sound modem added to OscarWatch Terminal, needs real-world testing but internally seems to be working well or as some hams would say.. its working good in the lab!

Next week I plan to rove in three grids that seem to be fairly quiet on LEO sats. Hope to see you there? @AmsatUK @AmsatSpain @amsatf #AMSAT @AMSAT @amsatdl @amsat_sm @Amsat_hb @amsat

If you are having issues with the latest OscarWatch Tracker and with GS232 Clone hardware, it's because I added a check to make sure the interface was present, and they aren't liking it. For now, roll back to the previous version

I downloaded the software last night about 20 minutes before an FO-29 pass. It took me about 5 minutes to setup the IC-9700 and the RT-21 Green Heron controller. How much easier than that could it be !? Next is FT4 on RS-44. FO-29 is a no go for digital per AMSAT-JA.

Well this happened.. Oscarwatch Terminal has its own 1200 baud soundcard modem designed for space.

13 cm DATV with just an Android phone and two cheap ESP32 boards, no PC 📡📺 ATV RX/TX is an open-source app: 📥 RX: an ESP32-S3 on USB OTG samples the 2.4 GHz band; leandvb on the phone demodulates DVB-S2 (QPSK/8PSK, 40–500 kS/s) and shows the picture, spectrum, constellation and MER 📤 TX: the ESP32-C3's own Wi-Fi radio is the transmitter. The phone encodes the camera or a test card to H.264 and DVB-S2 itself and streams the symbols to the C3 📌 Stand-alone beacon: record a loop with your callsign on the phone and store it in the C3; it then transmits by itself after every power-up 🔧 Firmware for both boards is flashed straight from the app Based on SP8ESA's ESP32-DATV and TA7W's ESP32-DATV-SA. Thanks! APK and guide: github.com/ok1cdj/ESP32-ATV For licensed radio amateurs only. @BATCOnline @hackaday @EspressifSystem #hamradio #DATV #ESP32 #DVBS2 #SDR
