how many engineers does it take to change a light bulb? Twenty six. If you ever get up towards Statesville, Paul, you are welcome to come by and see the shack. Well, I enter them into the computer later, but still. Already set in my ways and I still use paper logbooks. just recently realized I'll be a ham for 40 years come next spring. occasionally, it will.)īut then again, at 53 I'm already an old fart. In short, not being completely computer dependent is a good thing and leads to figuring things out with the computer doppler correction when it goes awry. Not to mention I think it helps with a thorough understanding of how the doppler works.
you will likely need it to work other manual ops, you are highly likely to need it if you ever go portable yourself and you will certainly need it if your computer control ever konks out. The skill of learning manual doppler tuning is one I suggest every sat op learn.
if you get the bug to chase grids (and a lot of sat ops do), you'll likely be working stations who are operating while portable and it's highly doubtful they will be using computer tracking. Manual tuning and computer tuning don't operate the same way. But, I also have a copy or Orbitron which is a fairly good program to use and it doesn't hurt that it's free. For keeping up with tracking, I most often use a website, of all things, as it has a numerical read out that's easy to keep an eye on. I control both my AZ-EL rotor controller and my frequencies manually. Don't feel you HAVE to set up for computer control of rigs or antennas.
since you are only 'looking to get into satellites', there is always the option to go 'manual'.

The 5.1 release will be made available at no charge to registered users when completed.Just so it gets said.
The new owners are in the process of building a development environment for Ham Radio Deluxe and they plan to begin by addressing some of the bugs in the existing “To Do List” for an upcoming version 5.1 release. In 2012 I plan to return to England and get back on the air, something I haven’t done much during the last 25 years.”
This is the technology of the future a future I want a part of. As some of you will know, I have formed a company called GmbH and I am now working in the Software Defined Radio arena with RFspace. “The support effort required has become more than I can realistically manage, with many thousands of users, new radios and other hardware appearing all the time and unexpected changes to the infrastructure used by Ham Radio Deluxe such as QRZ.com, I no longer have any time at all for other projects. “After many years writing the Ham Radio Deluxe software it’s necessary to take a break and hand the whole project over to another team,” said Simon Brown, HB9DRV. We’d like to see this product continue in a way that respects the hard work put into this package by Simon and others, maintaining that vision, while delivering timely fixes and feature enhancements in the future, will be the number one priority.” This configuration allows you to use SDR Console with the HF SDR of your choice and its own antenna as a receiver, and to use the waterfall to point, click, and tune your amateur radio transceiver by having SDR Console talk to Ham Radio Deluxe.
“His vision for integrating rig control, rotor control, logging, digital modes, and satellite operations into a single integrated feature-rich software suite has captivated the ham radio community. I set out in search of how to make this work and have come up with a method to do so that works well for me. “Simon has done a fantastic job with this software,” Carper said.
