Du lser om bda programmen hr:
Echo uses the Pacsat Broadcast Protocol (PBP) and is compatible with other digital satellites, such as UO22 and KO25. WiSP is the tool of choice, and what the command team has been using to test Echo s store and forward file system. There are many Wisp users in the Amsat community, so getting help, and answers to questions, regarding setting up and operating Wisp should be as simple as a quick post to the Amsat-BB. Wisp can be download from the Amsat website,
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ftpsoft.html#win-wisp , and registered with Martha at the Amsat office.
Echo will initially run in 9k6 downlink and 9k6 uplink mode, just like UO22. Echo is capable of many other bps rates, and will be tested and operated in 38k4 downlink and 9k6 uplink mode during commissioning. These digital configurations will be tested on the U band and the S Band Transmitters. Echo is capable of 76k8 downlink as well, and will eventually be tested in that mode.
The first signals heard from Echo will be 9k6 PBP. Plans call for Echo, in the standard mode, to operate one of its U band transmitters in PBP digital mode continuously.

Windows based software to receive and monitor telemetry from the Amsat-NA Echo Satellite is ready for download. Please check the Amsat website or the following URL for links to download the program and support files. An updated Telemetry Specification, v1.2, is also available from the website.

The program is designed for screen resolutions of 1024×768 or greater. It will run on an 800×600 display with some difficulty viewing the various telemetry screens. The software accepts Pacsat Broadcast Protocol KISS packets from your TNC, and will display those packets in a text window. For a test, you can copy the downlink from UO22 and view it in the programs main window.
Check the brief readme file for basic instructions on getting TlmEcho setup for your station. Configure the CPBINI.TXT file for your station and PC/TNC configuration, put the necessary files in your working directory, and run the program. The program will create CSV files of your received telemetry and place them in the CSV subdirectory. The command team requests that you sent these files to the requested email address, just like we have done for AO-40. This address will be published in the new few days via ANS.
