SRMSAT spurious emission or FCD front-end overload ?

 SRMSAT    Spurious emission or FCD  front-end overload ?

The center frequency was ok with Doppler  .
Spaces between the main frequency and Spurious frequencies was 25 KHz at both side .

Pre-Amp position does not affect the presence of it.
For sure it's most prominent during on position.
Need more  digital  tracking  and dusting off my analogue gear  :)
Have fun with fun-cube.

 Audio amplifier motor-boating sound.

Adding a Pre-Amp in front of the LM386 creating a Motor-boating sound when I increased the audio volume .

Obvious wasn't  due to interaction between audio amplifier circuit and radio frequency circuit .

A good shielding and power supply decoupling may solve this .

OsmoSDR is a 100% Free Software based small form-factor inexpensive SDR (Software Defined Radio) project.
If you are familiar with existing SDR receivers, then OsmoSDR can be thought of something in between a  FunCube Dongle (only 96kHz bandwidth) and a USRP (much more expensive). For a very cheap (but inaccurate) SDR, you can use the DVB-T USB stick using the RTL2832U chip, as documented in rtl-sdr.

Catch RTL-SDR fire .

DVB-T dongles based on the Realtek RTL2832U can be used as a cheap SDR, since the chip allows transferring the raw I/Q samples to the host, which is officially used for DAB/DAB+/FM demodulation. The possibility of this has been discovered by the V4L/DVB kernel developer  Antti Palosaari.

I have taken radio sniffs from FM capable Realtek DVB-T device. Looks 
like demodulator ADC samples IF frequency and pass all the sampled data 
to the application. Application is then responsible for decoding that. 
Device supports DVB-T, FM and DAB. I can guess  both FM and DAB are 
demodulated by software.

Could someone help to decode it? I tried GNU Radio, but I failed likely 
because I didn't have enough knowledge... GNU Radio and Octave or Matlab 
are way to go.
I smell very cheap poor man's software radio here :)

Very interesting ITAMSAT documentary

This documentary shows the preparation and launch of the first Italian amateur radio satellite,  September 26, 1993. It was encoded and uploaded from original video master.

Satellites in a box – Radio Aurora Explorer video

In this video radio amateur Professor Jamie Cutler KF6RFX highlights the ability of CubeSats to test new technology in space at low cost.

The Radio Aurora Explorer (RAX) mission has proven that scientific information can be gathered from a CubeSat, which is a small satellite encased within a box and attached to a spacecraft to achieve orbit.
The scientific data gathered by RAX has been published in peer-reviewed science journals.

Prototype 2 has a variety of functions:
• Send it’s location received from the GPS receiver.
• Taking a picture and send it back to earth using AX.25 protocol.
• Receive Tele-commands from earth to be executed, like:
• Restart the subsystems.
• Download a picture.
• Take a shot at specific GPS location.
• Change the Tele command key password.

Also you can command PRISM to downlink the stored messages in FM packets. Thus, PRISM can be used as a kind of message box. Also, you can evaluate FM packets performance of your ground station designed for amateur radio satellites.
The followings are three commands you can use:

• Information Command : Read latest ID of written messages.
• Write Command : Store your message into PRISM.

Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Request for a file of amateur satellite frequencies

Hi All,

Many thanks to everyone who responded to my plea!

As a result of it, with JE9PEL's agreement, we have created an abstract from 
his master list of all amateur satellites so as to include just those ones 
that are active.

It is available here  http://www.uk.amsat.org/?page_id=11251

The benefit of this is that it fits nicely on a single sheet of A4 paper and 
can therefore easily be stuck on the wall of the shack right behind the 
radio. I know that this is an old fashioned concept but it has already 
helped me work out the likely spacecraft when looking at signals showing up 
the waterfall display on the screen using an FCD+ and SDR#

The challenge will, of course, be to keep it uptodate and hopefully  someone 
will be willing to take on the task of setting up and maintaining a proper 
database.

best wishes

How to decode WE_WISH SSTV

JE9PEL, I explain a method of the decoding WE_WISH SSTV photo received ST2NH.
Because there is only a Japanese software and PDF file, I do not know whether
you can analyze it by a method to explain here properly in English. Please test.

(*) In the PDF file writing on how to use WE_WISH decoder, the way of
    the temperature setting seems to include some error. In other words
    the ruggedness of the 3D image of SSTV which I explained in my home
    page might be against all so far. Please wait for a while, because
    I am asking GS a question now.

(**)I corrected here the explanation of the last page in the PDF file of
    WE_WISH SSTV. This was comfirmed in Ground Station as above.


 1. You will get a clean red and a yellow photo of the infrared signal using
    MMSSTV. Save this image as the BMP file. And you will notice some curved
    lines at the center of the image. I do not know what it is.

 2. Install Decoder and PDF file from Japanese homepage of WE_WISH GS.
    https://sites.google.com/site/jq1ziijq1zij/home/shou-xin-fang-fa
    https://sites.google.com/site/jq1ziijq1zij/english, English page

 3. Set BMP file which you saved first in the column of this decoder.

 4. Set two CFG file 'AMB20-OBJ20_Cal.dat' and 'AMB20-OBJ40_Cal.dat' etc.
    Input temperature value in two columns of this decoder, and run it.
    See the next image for example.
    http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/st2nhtv1.png

 5. The CSV file is generated in the folder automatically.
    It is 'st2nhstv_OUT.csv' for example.

 6. Open this CSV file using a tool Graph-R 2.30 'GraphR.exe'.
    http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/dl/winnt/business/se136959.html

 7. You will decode them as follows.

 3. Open two CFG file 'AMB20-OBJ20_Cal.dat' and 'AMB20-OBJ40_Cal.dat' etc.
    Input temperature value in two columns of this decoder.
    See the next image for example.

 4. The CSV file is generated in the folder automatically.
    It is 'st2nhstv_OUT.csv' for example.

 5. Decode this CSV file using a tool Graph-R 2.30 'GraphR.exe'.

 6. You will decode them as follows.

PROITERES – a strong carrier signal!!

Proiteres had been silent since last week.
Mr. Kazuo from Osaka Institute of Technology informed
me that the Proiteres satellite have some trouble of the power supply.
Today I’ve noticed a very strong and continuous   carrier.
It seems the transmitter was locked in keying mode!!
Short clip shows the strong carrier .
