current satellites.txt file for CPS

Post by OE1MWW » Wed Feb 22, 2023 2:33 pm

My current satellites.txt file contains:

Catalogue number,Display name,Rx,Tx,CTCSS,ArmCTCSS
22825U,AO27,436795000,145850000,0,0
43017U,AO91,145960000,435250000,670,0
43137U,AO92,145880000,435350000,670,0
40908U,CAS3H,437200000,144350000,0,0
40931U,IO86,435880000,145880000,885,0
43678U,PO101,145900000,437500000,1413,0
25544U,ISS,437800000,145990000,670,0

54684U,FO118,435600000,145925000,670,0

Is this current actual list - or are there any new birdies flying above, that could be used?

You need to post to an AMSAT forum for a definitive list of currently operational FM satellites

You can manually edit yourself if you find another operational FM satellite you want to receive

BTW. The list does not contain NOAA satellites , etc, only satellites we can use for communication

Found a good AMSAT list at https://www.amsat.org/fm-satellite-frequency-summary/
Nowadays the 'RTFM' has to be adapted to 'UTFG' ('Use ... Google') :)

Can you please explain

- the last 2 numbers, for example, the '670,744' in 27607U,SO50,436795000,145850000,670,744
- what is the maximum number of entries in the satellite.txt

Thanks in advance

Wolfgang

Craig, thanks for the hint, 'mea culpa', once again - I should read before I ask ;-(
