Feb 25, 2002 I could receive ISS digipeat signals with "MixW2 ver 203" using only soundcard, not using TNC. > RS0ISS>CQ>UI,R,F0: > >ARISS - International Space Station > JE9PEL/RS0ISS*>CQ>UI,R,F0: > Hello from YOKOHAMA > > JE9PEL/ISS>CQ>UI,C,F0: > Hello from JE9PEL > JE9PEL/RS0ISS*>CQ>UI,R,F0: > Hello from YOKOHAMA I set up MixW2 according to the helpful advice of G6LVB, Howard Long, as follows. 1. Download the MixW203 and extract the files to a clean directory 2. Run the MixW2.exe program 3. First time you run it you'll be asked for personal data - enter Call, Name, QTH, Locator and any other details you choose. 4. Configure -> Soundcard Settings, select the soundcard you use and check Full Duplex is selected 5. Mode -> Packet, selects the packet mode 6. Mode -> Mode Settings, General tab, select "VHF 1200 baud (Standard, 1200/2200 Hz)" in the Modulator/demodulator type 7. Mode -> Mode Settings, Parameters tab, select Enable Full Duplex 8. Make sure Configure -> Disable Soundcard is NOT ticked 9. I was able to decode immediately the received ISS data after mouse left click of "Mode - Mode settings". 10. Experimental (I never got this bit to work) is the uplink. Mode -> Mode Settings, Beacon/Monitor tab, -> Source call [JE9PEL] Dest call [CQ] Digis [RS0ISS] Beacon text [Hello from JE9PEL] Enable Beacon First time I could not see the received ISS data in MixW2, but I could decode it immediately after mouse left click at "Mode - Mode settings". I also succeeded to decode AO-16 PSK signal with MixW203 using only soundcard. Feb 26, 2002 > PACSAT-1>TIME-1>UI,?,F0: > PHT: uptime is 743/21:26:28.

Make sure Configure -> Disable Soundcard is NOT ticked 9. You should be able to receive PSK data now 10. Experimental (I never got this bit to work) is the uplink.

Both of them showed a good rate of the returned signals.
