Icom 705 In Space Part 1 - Ten Minute Tutorial - Your Icom 705 + Ham Radio Satellites + PstRotator Software - Learn How To Listen To The Amateur Radio Satellites with your ICOM 705 - Includes Quick 10 Minute PstRotator Tutorial! Listen to all these hams having fun communicating through this PO-101 FM Amateur Radio Satellite Pass. Learn How to Use PstRotator for Satellite Tracking & Rig, Doppler, Frequency and Rotator Control for the ICOM 705. (Works for other rigs too!)
“So Easy, A Cave Ham Could Do It!”
The ICOM 705 only has one antenna input. At the time I did that video, I did not have a duplexer that allowed me to connect both the antenna for the 2 m downlink frequency and provide me a way to simultaneously connect my antenna for the 70 cm uplink for transmission. I've since added a Comet TRIplexers that allows me to have both of these antennas along with my HF antenna all connected at one time feeding the single antenna input into the ICOM 705.
I have a new video coming out in the next few days that includes my first contact on satellites with the ICOM 705

CHEAP COMPUTER CONTROLLED TV ROTATOR FOR AMSAT SATELLITES
How would you like to have a complete, cheap computer controlled rotator system for working the current 18 (soon to be at least 20) popular, active ham radio satellites for a total cost of under $350 including antennas, software, interface and rotator - with excellent satellite tracking software and rig control included for free?

ATTIC AMSAT ANTENNA - WORKING THE HAM RADIO SATELLITES WITH A ROTATABLE, COMPUTER CONTROLLED, YAGI ATTIC ANTENNA
While I no longer have this setup, I have received a lot of requests for details on this system from other hams wanting to work the satellites but who suffer from similar HOA constraints.
Bottom line: it’s absolutely worth the effort!
Note that this same approach for working the ham radio satellite would work great on balconies too!

Note: this was the ham radio satellite antenna system that I used when we lived at one of our Gulf of Mexico beachfront condos a few years ago. The good thing is that you can still get parts!
I have had many requests for show and tell about my under $50 approach for my K3RRR El Cheapo AZ-EL rotor system for working the LEO (low earth orbit) AMSAT birds.

Woowww... a lot callsigns working satellite. Excellent audio... congratulations. 73 all stations calling from YS zone.

Thanks Juan… Lots of folks and lots of satellites! Thanks for viewing the video and for your comment! 73 de Robert K3RRR

Outstanding video. Thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

Thanks Julian… After watching your great videos on your RU-vid channel for years, maybe some of your terrific creativity rubbed off on me! This is my first ever video done with Adobe Premiere Pro after using Camtasia for years. As such, this 10 minute video took me 60 hours start to finish - including learning the software!

@davidedger3935 3 года назад

Great video that I will have to watch a couple of times at least. Looking forward to hearing more about your antenna setup and software. Thanks for all your efforts on this presentation. 73 de N3CI.

Hi David, thanks for the nice comment! There is a lot of content jampacked into this 10-minute video. That's one reason I used the format that I did so that someone could actually go and scrub through the video seeing the step-by-step setup when they're ready to implement the PstRotator software. You might let me know what videos, in particular, would be most helpful to you. 73 de Robert K3RRR

Hi Rob awesome planning on using a IC-7100 and RSP DX SDR you have a filled a gap in knowledge and promise will read PstRotator Manual.

Rob - do you use the 705 recorder to capture the audio?

@JeffHochberg 2 года назад

Robert - I noticed a brief comment in this video that you would be doing a video in the near future regarding how to get full duplex capability out of the IC-705 with an inexpensive portable device. Given this video was created 5 months ago (and I’m incredibly impatient) would you be willing to share what piece of hardware you’re referring to? The full duplex capability is a game changer and, as long as you make use of a good set of headphones or a headset, will let you know if you’re making it into the bird (or not) so you can quickly made adjustments. Especially if you’re operating by hand. Thanks!

Hi Jeff, I have been sidelined with some major medical issues for the past several weeks… 19 doctors visits just in the month of July! So I am still in major catch-up mode. The gizmo I'm referring to is a Comet Triplexer that lets me add another radio to work with the ICOM 705. I've got the video footage already shot of me making satellite contacts in simplex mode and also in full duplex mode using my ICOM 9700 with the 705. I just need to find the time to assemble all the pieces to upload a meaningful video here on my RU-vid channel. Once I get life and business caught up, I'm hoping to start rolling out videos regularly including this one being the first addition. Thanks for your support, Jeff! 73 de Robert K3RRR

@JeffHochberg 2 года назад

@@K3RRR wow! So sorry to hear of your medical issues!!! Ahh ok. I thought you were somehow able to reproduce the full duplex capability of the 9700 within the 705 so you only needed one radio for simultaneous transmit and receive. I use a Kenwood TH-D72 HT for most of my VHF/UHF satellite work as it’s a true full-duplex radio. Use that with a headset and a Yagi antenna and mmmm! Good stuff! If the 705 had full-duplex capability natively, that would really take things to another level. I have seen some hams (with VERY deep pockets) carry around 2x IC-705 radios to work sats. I’m still recovering from the purchase of my first one (and AH-705 tuner), so it will be a while before I can entertain that thought. 😎 I wish you the best and hope that you’re moving quickly to the side of recovery! 73!

I don't understand how one would make a non duplex radio, duplex. There is a sequencer in the radio that can't be bypassed. There is only one path to the antenna that can't be changed. Meaning, its not possible on the 705. That's what makes the horribly disappointing 9700 unique. Two completely separate sets of radios, with a diplexer. What makes it worthless is, they are programmed as one, so it doesn't work on lin sats very well, and is a CAT mess. Still better to use 2 sets of radios. In my setup, I use the 9700 as my tx radio, and a 705 as my RX radio. If I didn't have the 705, I would use my Kenwood D74 as a RX radio. Or any other 2m SSB capable receiver. A cheap SDR dongle is just as good.

Listen to the satellites?!? Push the TX button! Cavemen can listen to the satellites with a Baofeng. 😄
