OpenGD77

ISS APRS is not always active. Check the ISS status web page Yes, Findu appears a good source to check. Also, I've got another HT to monitor both mine and ISS' packets with APRSdroid software. You do not need to change satellites.txt Actually no, I may need to change satellites.txt since default PA...

So far I make some changes in the satellites.txt: 25544U,ISS ,437.800,145.990, 67, 0,145.825,145.825,145.800, 0,RS0ISS APRS This ended up with following packets: UT7UX-7>APOG77,RS0ISS,APRS:!<my_coordinates_here>E0 Where: UT7UX- 7 appears incorrect; must be UT7UX- 12 since it's the one-way tracker RS...

I was digipeated 8 or so times

So, it does work. Great!

I looked on aprs.fi and ARISS has not been seen since "2024-04-13 18:12:51 CEST (51d 20m ago)" I would rather rely on this source . You can switch between age and absolute date & time to see how far ago last station was heard. Any time I do successful beaconing or exchange messages with other stati...

How do you know this? Do you have a source or reference for this information? Fellow ham told me that so I cannot provide a link or other clear proof. So, I changed ARISS with RS0ISS and got my packets bounced off ISS digi. Same time my recent attempts to beacon with my new OpenGD77 HT were unsucce...

The OpenGD77 firmware appears to completely remove the date / time data. Yes, the time and date are not shown constantly on the main screen. I'm pretty sure the time is just useless since internal clock is way too inaccurate, so unlike GPS-enabled radios the 1701 has no source (but the OP) for freq...

Thank you to all who made it possible.

Depending on the position of both indicators you may sometimes feel resistance – but mostly not. Option is to i.e. replace the knobs with 3D printed ones – designed without the protrusion. I've got the same. Not exactly build but rather design quality. Likely I should just file the knobs since 3D p...

As far as I know, standard satellite APRS alias 'ARISS' for some reason doesn't work with ISS anymore; we temporally have to use RS0ISS instead. So, I believe the correct path fort ISS would be 'RS0ISS,APRS' since we'd like our beacons to be bounced from onboard digi and to get to APRS-IS via a satg...

Shame on me, I have rechecked everything and found it works as described. Power of posting, you know. I apologize for false alarm. Are you monitoring the transmitted data ? Yes I do. I've got another HT, audio cable, and APRSdroid software. I likely did something wrong with the gear since today I'm ...
