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.

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

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.

===== [Supplement 3.] =====
MSPE was uploaded again to Version 2.01a and WiSP updated to
WiSP3215. You will get WiSP3215 on the next web.
