\"Setup<\/a>AMSAT-SM have published a guide<\/strong><\/a> to using the popular digital mode FT4 via the amateur radio satellites using SDR-Console software, a SDR receiver and the Icom IC-705 as the transmitter.<\/p>\n

The guide covers:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Step 1 \u2013 Setup SDR-Console and IC-705 with correct frequency<\/p>\n

\u2022 Step 2 \u2013 Config WSJT-X<\/p>\n

\u2022 Step 3 \u2013 Start Satellite External Radio in SDR-Console<\/p>\n

\u2022 Step 4 \u2013 Select correct RX frequency in SDR-Console<\/p>\n

\u2022 Step 5 \u2013 Find yourself on the satellite transponder<\/p>\n

\u2022 Step 6 \u2013 Start calling CQ<\/p>\n

\u2022 How to use a 2nd instance of WSJT-X for RX of your own FT4 signal<\/p>\n

This is a short video of FT-4 communication via satellite AO-73 with SDR-Console V3.1 and Icom IC-705. It is a part of a guide that will be published later on AMSAT-SM web https:\/\/www.amsat.se\/<\/a><\/p>\n

In the first part you will see the first screen with SDR-Console with Airspy Mini as receiver, audio is piped to WSJT-X. You will also see SDR-Console handle the TX Doppler correction for the IC-705 via \u201cExternal radio\u201d.<\/p>\n

In the second part you will see the second screen with WSJT-X connected to IC-705. The output was only one (1) to two (2) watts! You can see that WSJT-X is reading the Doppler corrected frequency. You will also see SDR-Console satellite tracking and PstRotator controlling the SPID RAS rotor.<\/p>\n
