Every FM bird's uplink, downlink and tone compared against N9KT's Live
FM Satellites table, and the image list beside it. Two corrections and
ten additions:
- AO-123 (ASRTU-1) had no CTCSS. Its 145.850 uplink wants 67.0 Hz, and
without the tone the transponder simply does not answer.
- SO-50 keeps 67.0 Hz, which is the tone that keys it, but its label now
says 74.4 Hz arms the ten-minute timer first. That is a one-off
two-second carrier, not a tone to key every transmission with, so it
belongs where it will be read rather than in a field the radio would
apply throughout.
- Eight SSTV satellites added as receive-only entries, no uplink field
at all, the way the ISS SSTV row was already written: HC1PX
(GALAPAGOS-UTE-SWSU), RS18S (SakhaCube-Cholbon), RS27S (UTMN-2),
RS38S (VIZARD-meteo), RS40S (UmKA-1), RS57S (Monitor-4), RS58S
(Monitor-3), RS83S (Lobachevsky). SSTV downlinks also added to
SONATE-2 (145.880, Martin M1) and QMR-KWT-2 (436.950, Robot 36), and
the ISS row now names its mode.
The NORAD numbers were read out of the element feed by name, not
guessed: five of the eight are in it and carry an exact catalogue
number, and the three that are not (HC1PX, RS18S, RS83S) are joined by
name and alias instead, so they read as having no elements until a feed
carries them rather than pointing an antenna somewhere arbitrary.
AO-91 was left alone. The table shows no tone in its uplink cell but
Fox-1B does require 67.0 Hz, so ours stands and the table is the
incomplete one.
