Tried the voice repeater and the Astronauts frequency tonight but got nothing - came back inside and heard a packet from it - I think you're onto something

Good visual on it last night.

If you want to monitor packets or use packet via ISS if the license class allows, consider UISS which uses the AGW Packet Engine for a software packet interface. AGW Packet Engine can also be used with other packet software too.

AGW PE is great. I can access it using Visual Basic with ease. Also the documentation for extracting data for APRS is freely available in case you want do your own APRS manipulation. No luck with BBS protocol as yet.

Woohoo! Got a new antenna for pursuing the ISS with Thanks for the recommendation blinky!

Very nice. How did you go with convincing NASA to switch to voice repeater?

Goodo, did not take long after ordering (aren't the USA good for delivery times). I wish you success and I gather from your comments you are pleased with it sofar. I hope it meets with your expectations. I am sure it will.

Funny that, haven't gotten a reply to my letter. I was very polite

I am very pleased with it blinky, now just waiting for the ISS to be around when I'm awake! 5-6am for the next few days.

There are other satellites you can use at more civilised hours.
