Longtime ham and amateur radio satellite afficionado Sean Kutzko, KX9X, takes a close look at the CSN Technologies Self-Contained Antenna Tracker (S.A.T.), a small but powerful device for making contacts using amateur radio satellites. Video includes a demonstration of KX9X making QSOs using the device during an actual satellite pass. The S.A.T. is now available at www.dxengineer...

I've found the guys at CSN Technologies very responsive and supportive.

OMG, the rotor control is the S.A.T.'s best feature! Sorry you weren't able to demo it. It is amazing that they've packed rig control, rotor control and logging all into this one little box. I love mine. Great video!

Sean: Great video on the SAT. I may look at getting one for my IC-9100.

Hello Sean, Great video. Where did you obtain the Morse Codse poster? Keep up the great work.

Not a complete review without rotor control. When can we expect a complete review with the az/el rotor connected? Thank you.

Sean, would be sweet if they would work with two FT 818s

Great presentation! The SAT sounds great for the Yeasu AZ EL rotor, but I'm looking for portability, i.e. field day perhaps using the Arrow antenna. Are there any small controller options that the SAT will interface? Thanks.

@Aleziss Жыл бұрын

Can this controller handle 2 different radios at the same time? Some satellites have their downlink on HF bands and uplink on VHF bands so it would be nice to have doppler correction on both 7300 and 9700

No it can not not at this time

Do you have any links on what makes a good satellite contact? I'm new to amateur radio, hoping to read a transcript of a 'proper' QSO.

Sean, love the video. Looking at getting S.A.T. What radio are using for this video? Also, can you explain your CURRENT antenna used for satellites. I have to start simple. Thanks Ron L. KN4ZUJ

Did you release pt2 with the asm alt antenna?

Sean what;'s the benefit of this over SATpc32? also I have a couple of M2 eggbeaters is this worth it if I don't have a rotor??Thanks! WA6RSV Thanks! WA6RSV (PS the radio is an Icom-9700)

@csntechnologies2296 3 ай бұрын

With SATPC32 you need the RS-232 interface box With the SAT you don't. It is very user friendly and easy to update your TLE file. It is also easy to edit you frequencies

Any support for Kenwoods (TM-D700, TH-D7, TH-D74)?

@csntechnologies2296 Жыл бұрын

Yes, there are plans to support other radios. We recently acquired a Kenwood TS-2000 and we were going to start with that one. However, I do not yet have a timeframe for that since it requires a hardware change. The electrical connection to the Kenwood is quite different from Icom.

Hi Sean ! KX9X Im jimmy VE2XXQ , And i have this question for you . I can easely reach some satellites and clearely communicate with other Ham when the sat comes toward me . But as soon as the satellite is going away from me the signal is really hard to pick up and sometimes i can listen to poeple talk but i cant no longer communicate with them . This problem is more frequent when using 2m uplink and 70 cm downlink . Im using 2 baofengs with an Arrow antenna . 73 ! VE2XXQ FN46RX
