[DogParkList] VE3VRW Satellite Gateway

[Don Agro]

Hi,

I have put up a diagram of the VE3VRW satellite gateway that has been 
running in Toronto 24/7 for the last 5 or 6 years. The gateway is a 
receive-only gateway that Hams in Southern Ontario and Western New York 
have been using via the SSPB repeater system to make contacts on AO-27, 
UO-14, Sunsat, SO-41, SO-50, Mir and ISS.

The functionality to run the gateway unattended has always been in 
MacDopplerPRO, but until version 2 depended on the hard-to-find ADBIO 
A/D converter.

MacLoggerDX Version 2.0 makes use of the Ontrak ADR101 to key the link 
radio PTT and listen to COR to stop satellite voice advisories from 
stepping on QSO's in progress:
