Will my radioshack pro 95 recieve the international space station?

[robertwbob]

I am hoping my pro 95 will recieve the ham radios in use on it.
I programmed them in

Depends on the frequencies you need. You should be good.

It should work. Try 145.8 MHz. That is a 2 meter amateur band downlink.

145.8 is, i believe, the freq used on the ISS. as usual a quality antenna is beneficial with an outdoor antenna prefered vs a back-of-the-set. passes are quick but you should be able to determine when the ISS is overhead your location.

 

[robertwbob]

Yes 145.8 is what i programmed,i got a big base antenna too.
I kinda thought it would,but when in doubt ask. Thank you all

There is software available including iPad apps that track satellites and the ISS. Will show you the paths angles etc for your location. Not hard to hear, but overhead for very narrow windows. I use an Arrow handheld cross beam yagi. Eggbeater type antennas are also good. High gain verticals not so good due to low radiation angles.

Go to www.heavens-above.com and select your location. Then look under Satellites for the 10 day predictions of ISS. It will tell you when you go outside and see/hear it. You may also be interested in N2YO.com - real time satellite tracking. I recently heard the Russian space walk.

There is a fan club, of course. ISS Fan Club Current Status of ISS Stations

and remember, they don't talk much, and even the packet frequency is quiet. 145.825.
and you might hear people trying to communicate with them. it is an up and down link.

And it is very hit and miss, unless you happen to catch them during an event. You can find announcements of upcoming activity on the Southgate ARC as well, I think, at the ARISS website. They are not on all the time. They will occasionally send SSTV pix as well (haven't done this in a while); links for the software can be found in section 5 of;

The last time they tried this there were some issues with the radio, I think. Hopefully at some point they can get the issues resolved.

MM-SSTV is free and very well regarded

I got 2 tracking sites in my pc.think its now a hunt and wait thing.
Thank you all

145.8 AND 145.825 Have fun!

Packet on 145.825 is down now but Texas just had an ARISS contact this week with a school in Texas 145.8. It was a great pass in Indiana about 9 minutes.

i think i caught some of that down here in Florida.
talking about how the urine gets recycled and where the other stuff goes...
