ISS and APRS

Success at last


After several attempts to get a decent signal from the ISS I noticed on twitter that the orbit tonight within radio sight of the UK was imminent. Went to the shack, fired up the PC and switched the Icom IC706Mk2G to 145.825 MHz then got Multipsk running in APRS mode.
Didn't make much of the decodes th the main window, however the Map feature shewed the detail as they came in.
Finally sorted out my system, and now to get to know what the hell APRS is about...
Details of the contacts below.

  1. Good morning, I was searching for a software to decode aprs through soundcard. After reading your blog, I used Multipsk and this sold the problem. Thanks a lot.
