@@peterfairlie2296 yeah I was bloody lucky, and it was my final year electrical engineering student project, as I finished my final year at the end of 1984.. And so the month after we finished it went out of orbit. Very sad.

Awesome! Can I find further info on this anywhere online? Appreciate you sharing all this with us! 📶📡🛰️🪐🛰️📡📶📻🎶😃👍❣️

I got a filing cabinet from an old office and it has a sticker on it that says ACTS NASA Switchboard in the sky

And no crappy trap music animated intros, "what's up boys?!", or "smash that like and subscribe." I know these are dying memes but I'm glad there's just passionate creators out there either way.

@@UD503J The long intros with the same music is very early youtube tho

"oblivion NPC" "yo honestly this is actually a glitch!" "2006 energy" "yo bro deadass facts this video is lowkey based!" videos in the 2000s and 2010s were like bo Burnham and epic meal time wtf are you talking about? just the fact that he doesn't do an intro? just say that!

True, but it means we’re back to pointing camera phones at computer screens when there are plenty of good, free screen cap options; unstabilized video, wonky audio and so on. There’s something to be said for amateur passion, and also something to be said for production value.

Is this perfectly legal

Really? That's amazing? We have technology that leaves little to no delay...

​@@sylver369I think the point is that there isn't much delay for what it is

Only 0.24 s of that delay would be due to the sloth of light, surprisingly. All the rest is digital overhead

It’s called the speed of causality...

​@@sylver369this actually is pretty amazing, yeah.

For a long time they were blocked from subsea cable networks. Arimao cable is about to change all that.

It went thru a Soviet era recording device.

​@@Johnyrocket70An analog recording device wouldn't increase the latency imo. They were just tape recorders.

​@@peterfairlie2296 Now are chinnese.. Seriously, we need an intervention.

Current day USA gov. Recording devices have no delay.

CALLS. A lot of this equipment can be salvaged for free with the right know-how...

@@peterfairlie2296 Interesting, there was no delay on the original communications with the astronauts on the moon, not to mention the live TV broadcasts...

@@peterfairlie2296 I wrote, "no [communications, ie transmit or receive] delay", not "1.25 seconds or more". This can be verified in the original "Official NASA DVD" recordings. Aside from that, are you implying digitizing the analogue transmission adds more delay or reduces it? Do you consider additional milliseconds (at most) for AtoD or DtoA conversion a perceivable delay?

@@retromodernart4426 Telecommunications engineer here. Yes, the CODEC can add an appreciable delay. No, the ADC/DAC does NOT add an appreciable delay. _This can be verified in the original "Official NASA DVD" recordings_ No, your verification failed. Crawl back in your hole, moon hoaxer.

​@@retromodernart4426Yeah you wrote something incorrect so you got corrected. It adds some delay

@@FAB1150 Of course it adds some delay, look up how much, now go listen to the "Official NASA recordings" and find the appropriate delay.

Wait what? :D Do You have more info about that?

@@Shadoweee I don't remember what model phone, but many of the 3G phones could act as digital modems. So if you had an active voice plan, you could USB tether them and dial into ISPs. Since it was acting as a modem everything would send and received over a voice connection. Not sure how many modern phones still have that ability. Nifty in a pinch if you need to check an email without a data plan, but not useful for much else.

@@peterfairlie2296 Holy crap that's genius! Do they not limit the speed?

@@DalePatch Got it, thanks and will look into it!

@@peterfairlie2296 I'm located in EU and I imagine our ISPs work diffrently but will have to give it a go somehow lol - how did You giure out which port to use?

Ray, I love to hear folks like you talking about the days when the systems of the 70s and 80s were new and exciting. After covid I only have one acquaintance let that did the long lines. I can listen to people talk about technology like that for hours. You should record yourself talking about that stuff. I’ve subbed to your channel in the hopes you will post a video.

I was WONDERING if someone would mention a good codec for low bandwidth calls. well done.

Glad I read through some before saying something similar. CVSD would be an old school alternative.

@@lionelfelix6631 You have to wonder no more, as Opus also exists. It gives much better audio quality than what OP mentioned. Alternatively, HE-AAC or xHE-AAC (codecs used in DAB+ and DRM respectively) could be used.

@@peterfairlie2296I watched them months ago. did you ever get around to reconfiguring your ATA SIP adaptors to a lower bandwidth codec? it's been a while but I seem to remember you changing it a little but if I recall you didn't change the jitter buffer.

Glad you enjoy it!

We could go much further if it weren't for...um...certain problems (lack of affordable, accessible anything).

A 500ms ping in a deathmatch via satellite internet made me think very dfiferent about the, actually pretty shitty, speed of light. The laws of physics in this universe disappointed me.

@@Shmbler A deathmatch of chess would work just fine.

Exactly, with the low speed I just blended in and no one ever noticed.

it's a deception. There are no satellites on orbit, it's a lie

Same

@@peterfairlie2296 I really like the 1A2 system. I have an ITT but wish I had one made by WE or ATT for the reliability. Also mine doesn’t seem to ring on any outside lines with any of the ATA’s I have. Kinda a bummer but at least the line lights work and I can use some of my favorite phones on it 🤓

@@peterfairlie2296 I actually have one of those In a box somewhere and I’m anxious to try it now 😁. My house also has the Avaya partner system and a phone in all the rooms and the avaya has a ground port screw on the front - I was thinking of trying to join the two systems together and grounding together maybe it would work. Haven’t tried yet.

@@peterfairlie2296 I actually still have them. 6 are smart phones that take a battery and run off of the phone lines power it can be programmed for any amount to make a call and time limits or free calls to specific numbers. And then I have one older rotary but same style single slot.

Radio signals travel at the speed of light, so the time delay you see is the amount of time it takes for the signal to travel from the ground to the satellite and back to the ground at 186,000 miles per second. Pretty cool.

Yes! Thank you!

"Hi, we are calling from microsoft about hackers on your phone..."

indubitably

@@peterfairlie2296 Ignore the naysayers this is insane.

I too came here thinking there would be some piracy! I've done piracy many times in the past (not with sats which is why I wanted to get some hints) and even done time for it so yeah this is not really piracy but still interesting to watch the equipment anyways.

ohhh meru

exactly right, this is no "pirating a satellite". in fact he says "....give us just a test 32 kbit": band allocation happens on the satellite hub side (around 2002-2003 eutelsat vsat network had its "satellite hub" somewhere in france).

Well in the UK they done away with dog licenses may years ago. As for the need for a TV license, that is to pay for the BBC only. As that is how they get a LOT of their money, as they do NOT put advertisements in the flow of a TV show. I also think the BBC is known all around the world for it’s high standards of broadcasting. But as for NOT needing or having licences for everything in America, is that a GOOD thing ??? As I know that I would feel much better and safer knowing that to want to get something’s that you need a licence for. I know one big joke to me, is the driving licence. As I see on the News and real life TV shows, that the police can stop someone in a car, and they had their licence taken off them for drink driving or for some other reason. But they still go out and drive a car. They then go to court and get a 2 years driving ban. If they had no license in the first place, do you thing that giving them a 2 year ban is going to stop them ??? Make them pay a BIG fine or put them in jail for a few months. Then when they are not able to work, the penny might drop that it is them and only them that are been affected. I myself am a radio ham, but I also think that to use a transmitter or transceiver should be OK, but NOT on all parts of the radio spectrum. It is OK to listen to anything, but if you had a FOOL on the radio that was jamming up that frequency that might be needed for emergency response, is 100% STUPID. I know that about 95% of people would be more responsible. It was when in the UK we did NOT have CB radios, as we got ones that came from America. But they had been on AM. So when the British Government got that many people wanting CB radio to be OK to use in the UK, the Government made it that they had to be FM only. Then you also needed a radio CB licence for them. It would have been OK if the government had policed them that used CB’s. But anyone and their cat could do or say whatever they wanted to. So in the end, many did NOT renew their license. So now in the UK you do NOT need a CB licence anymore. I will be 100% truthful with you, I had an illegal AM radio, and when everyone had moved to FM, I did NOT get a licence. I also bought myself an Icom 706MK 2 G and did the mod to it so it could be used on the CB band. But then one of my friends wanted to go in for his ham exam, but he knew NOTHING of how to use or setup a radio, so I went along with him. Then I also did the exam to become a ham. Not that I use it that much, but it is there for if or when I need it. I also have 2 small FM broadcasts transmitters, they only kick out 10 watts of power. I can see it coming that something will happen when the internet and mobile phone communications will stop. As it might have to do with a solar flare or a government knocking out a few satellites 🛰️ and cutting underwater cables. As everything is now dependent on GPS or the internet in someway. I hope that I NEVER will need to use them. As I only have 2 sisters that live about 1 mile away from me, and I could give them either a Homebase CB each, or a PMR radio each. As for power, I get given a shit load of throwaway vapes, and I take out the lithium batteries. As I am making a few power banks that they can charge with solar panels or a wind turbine. So I am NOT against anyone using any sort of radio, just as long as the nutters do not take over the airwaves and think that just because they move been of a specific frequency, that they own it and do and say whatever they want to. As I have told you, I have had radio equipment that I was NOT meant to transmit on, as I went on the marine band and put in a call to the port office for a radio check. They thought NOTHING wrong with it, as I was polite and sounded like I knew what I was doing. But I did NOT then try to talk to ships or fishing boats, as them fools would do. If you sound that you belong on that frequency and you use the right words and protocols, then who is to tell that you do not have a licence.

Yes Yes FCC! Find my satellite dish IP 😂

@Peter Fairlie Ah lol they only care about American stuff so you're good

@@peterfairlie2296 Interpol like those kind of things 😂 Anyway, if you don't use equipment with serials registered to you, is impossibile to know who are pirating the satellite.. No IP or position triangulation.. 😛

Pirates don't care about licensing lol

@@BPTtech That is very true!

@@peterfairlie2296 So anyone can access this transponders without even needing to use some kind of password to see if you are an authorized user? Is it the same with satelite TV can anyone transmit their own TV channel?

you wouldnt download a satellite

The President will be calling me for help during the zombie apocalypse!

this would not work in that way

@@peterfairlie2296 could make for an interesting video.

@@peterfairlie2296 That explains it.

@@peterfairlie2296 I've used 8k data on a satellite circuit to feed a remote analogue (TACS) cellsite way back in the 90s. We had a Newbury Mainstreet mux that used their proprietary coding. It was toll quality. I got the idea from Petrocom cellular in New Orleans.

Yeah, INMARSAT is really expensive especially their government level services.

Megabits? A phone call via INMARSAT was like $12/min or something like that lololol. I didn't know you could do that. In the mid-late 90s I used to call country direct (operator) 800 numbers and blue box phone calls. Mainly via Greece. So I made it a point of seeing what the most expensive phone call I could make was, and it was "INMARSAT Atlantic West". I also had this 800 number that went somewhere in Ketchikan, AK that I would blue box off of, but the quality was BAD. A couple times I called to AK to Greece and then to the other phone line in my house. Pretty long delay.

@@peterfairlie2296 Sweet! Will watch your channel for more interesting content.

Paul S came over to my house in 2020. We took the controller apart and he flashed updated firmware. He told me there are 2 computers running it and sometimes they'd conflict. About a year ago it was back at c-com for calibration and some minor mechanical repairs. Overall its been a great system. Its been all over the place, from the Bahamas to Squamish, BC and even being up on top of Fortress Mountain in Kananaskis, Alberta a few too many times!

Sorry but Paul BS'd you. C-Com or one of there customers tried to hack my code, and it shut down a bunch of units. Glad he got it back up, flashing was only fix :(

Ours was never down but still had beta firmware on it that he updated.

@@peterfairlie2296 Oh great, lots of beta's, odd it was so stable, guess I'm better than I thought :) You must be with Dejero, as these units were designed for Japanese government. Glad you were not caught up in that mess. FYI, there is lot more than 2 CPU's. There is a dual core in GPS / IMU unit on top (Thats ITAR restricted), 1 dual core in main controller, plus 3 more single cores. Depending on what DVB module you have, could be another 3-5 cores in it as well. It's A LOT of software.

I do remember that the Japanese government bought a large quantity for disaster relief. So what was the mess that transpired? Yes, this unit was procured through Dejero originally as part of their cell-sat service.
