Dashboard for Digipeater Overview

I’ve built a dashboard which gives an overview about who used how often, when first and last the digipeaters of the following satellites.

  • IRIS-C
  • GRBBeta
  • BDSat-2
  • Veronika
  • SONATE-2
  • ISS
  • EOS-7
  • NO-44

Very nice activity. Would it be possible to separate the digipeats V/V and U/U via BDSAT-2 or GRBBeta, or at least indicate the band per packet? It can be usefull.
Thank you. Tomas OK2PNQ

Hi Tomas,

This is an interesting point!

Unfortunately, there is no way to distinguish between a digipeated frame received on VHF or UHF.
Both satellites use their only callsign (without any SSID) on both bands.

If we could ask the users to for example use mycall-2 for VHF and mycall-7 for UHF, we could distinguish it!
Or to use for example VHF and UHF as destination callsign.

Hi Daniel and all:

Which one of those 9K6 U/U digipeaters is easiest to use and has more traffic over EU?
Are you going to add GRBAlpha?

Hi David,

Compared to Veronika, GRBBeta and BDSat-2 hear the best and they are both very low on traffic as you can see on the dashboard.

I first wanted to add GRBAlpha as well, but had to painfully realize that its decoder is buggy. GRBAlpha would repeat a packet via OM9GRB-7. But once the decoder reads a via callsign, it discards the packet.

By the way, I’ve added SAKURA and IO-86 to the dashboard.
