Previous Capabilities
Below are some of the previous capabilities that club station had in days gone by. This information was originally on the JPL ARC Website’s Who We Are page.
Satellite Operating Position
The club station satellite operating position has operational capabilities on 2M and 70cm. There is a dedicated computer located at this position that provides automatic tracking of most satellites. The transceivers of the satellite station may also be used for terrestrial contacts if needed.
Packet Operation
The club currently has packet operations on 145.09 MHz and 223.54 MHz supported by a 386-class computer providing BBS and Network node services.
The BBS carries the AMSAT News Service, Caltech Seismological Laboratory earthquake reports, SAREX news and important club information.
This computer is also connected to a 486-class computer running LINUX and the TNOS software package, providing connectivity to the Internet with access to distant Internet/Packet gateways around the world, a callbook server, electronic mail, and file transfer services.
