MSPE for WiSP32 was uploded to the new version 2.01a designed to work with UO-36. You can get this new MSPE 2.01a at the following ftp site. ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/software/win32/wisp/ ===== [Supplement 1.] ===== TNC for 38k4bps SYMEK Datensysteme und Elektronik GmbH http://www.symek.com/ PacComm Packet Radio Systems, Inc. http://www.paccomm.com/ UO-36 frequency Uplink : 145.960MHz Downlink : 437.400MHz UO-36 callsign Broadcast : UO121-11 BBS : UO121-12 ---------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 21:31:04 +0000 From: Roy Welch [rdwelch@swbell.net] Subject: [jamsat-amsat-bb:31301] WiSP correction To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Please correct my previous message announcing an update to the WiSP module MSPE. The version should have been stated 2.00l (letter L) instead of 2.00i. 73, Roy ---------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 31 Mar 2000 20:55:52 +0000 From: Roy Welch [rdwelch@swbell.net] Subject: [jamsat-amsat-bb:31300] MSPE 2.00i To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Hi Fellows, Chris has asked me to upload a new MSPE 2.00i module for WiSP32. This version is designed to work with UO-36. UO-36 has a power budget problem and will turn itself off when not required. This version of MSPE will send a turn on request which will turn on the downlink when it is received by UO-36. Once turned on, UO-36 will transmit for approximately 15 minutes before turning off again. This is usually enough time to download between one and two megabytes of data at 38,400bps. The uplink is at 9600bps. The April 2000 QST magazine has a fine article on UO-36 written by Stacey E. Mills, W4SM. The turn on feature is automatic. WiSP will transmit the turn on request approximately every 45 seconds during a pass until UO-36 comes on the air. Sometimes it will not come on due to a software override in the satellite because of low power conditions. This usually will occur at night, but sometimes happens during the day also. You must edit the Windows 95/98 Registry to activate the turn on feature. Please do not activate this feature unless you are equipped to copy the 38400bps downlink of UO-36. The Registry editing procedure is as follows: 1. From the Start button select Run, enter REGEDIT and click OK. 2. Highlight My Computer and backup your Registry by selecting REGISTRY, EXPORT REGISTRY FILE. Name this export file and save it where you can get to it again in the event you do something to your Registry. If you do not feel comfortable doing this, stop now and forget it until you can find someone who can do it for you. If you mess up your Registry we will not have the pleasure of seeing you on the satellites for a while. 3. Go to My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WiSP\Satellites\UO-36 4. Highlight the UO-36 Key Word in the left pane of the window. 5. In the top menu, click EDIT, NEW, DWORD VALUE. 6. The name of the new DWORD VALUE should be changed to "Tx Request" without the quotes. 7. Now with Tx Request highlighted, from the top menu select EDIT, MODIFY and enter a value of one (1) in the value entry space. Entering a zero again will turn off the automatic turn on feature. 8. Close the Registry Editor. Now every time MSPE opens with UO-36, it will automatically request UO-36 to turn on. This version will be posted on the AMSAT WiSP ftp site and on UO-22 and KO-25 as MSPE200i.zip. Let me know if you have any questions. 73, Roy -- W0SL ===== [Supplement 2.] ===== Date: Tue, 09 May 2000 15:23:31 +0000 From: Roy Welch [rdwelch@swbell.net] Subject: [amsat-bb:31958] MSPE 2.01a To: amsat-bb@amsat.org Hi Fellows, Chris has asked me to post MSPE version 2.01a. This version corrects a problem experienced when the file, MSPE File Info.DAT, reaches a maximum file capacity limit. When this limit is reached, any additional files added to the directory will be given a status of G (Grab) regardless of the specifications in the MSPE Equations.TXT file. Most users will not experience this problem. However, those users receiving the 38,400 bps downlink from UO-36 may find that the satellite is adding image files to the directory more quickly than the user can download them. As a result the MSPE File Info.DAT file will reach its maximum file capacity limit and the subsequent files entering the directory will be given the G status. This version of MSPE will not correct the status of any files already shown in the directory as G. Any new directory entries arriving after it is installed will have the correct status. It will be uploaded to UO-22 and KO-25. It has already been posted at ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/software/win32/wisp/ The filename will be mspe201a.zip. ---- WISP3215.EXE in a self extracting file. It contains all of the recent updates to the Windows 95/98/NT4.0 version of WiSP. More recent versions will be posted as individual file updates in this directory. The current file versions are: GSC 2.03 * MSPE 2.01a VIEW-DIR 2.00e MSGMAKER 2.10a MSGVIEW 2.00b PROCMAIL 2.00g UPDKEPS 2.00c RR.INI 0.73i RR.DLL 1.14 04-18-97 WISP.HLP 12-26-96 * Changed Several people have had problems opening Satellite Setup windows, etc. in the WiSP32 program using GSC 2.03. It was discussed several times on the AMSAT-BB that the problem can be fixed by updating Windows 95 with the Y2K updates that have been posted on http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/updates. If you are having this problem, go to the above site and update your Windows95 with the Y2K fixes. That should take care of the problem. Roy -- W0SL ===== [Supplement 3.] ===== MSPE was uploaded again to Version 2.01a and WiSP updated to WiSP3215. You will get WiSP3215 on the next web. ftp://ftp.amsat.org/amsat/software/win32/wisp/ http://www.jamsat.or.jp/anonftp/software/ http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/ ---------------------------------------------- Name : JE9PEL/Mineo Wakita, Member of JAMSAT Mail : je9pel@jamsat.or.jp URL : http://www.ne.jp/asahi/hamradio/je9pel/ QTH : Yokohama Japan, GL:PM95TJ Date : May 11, 2000 ----------------------------------------------
