JAS-1 Operating Frequencies
Mode JA uplink: 145.900 to 146.000 MHz
Mode JA downlink: 435.900 to 435.800 MHz. (Inverting transponder)
Operating frequencies for Mode JA, the Mode J analog mode for SSB and CW, may
be determined as follows. The sum of the uplink and downlink frequencies
equals 581.800 MHz exclusive of Doppler shift. For example, if the uplink is
145.920 MHz, the downlink will be 435.880 MHz. Conversely, if you want the
downlink to be 435.810 MHz, you should set your uplink for 145.990 MHz. In
both these examples, the sum of the uplink and downlink equals 581.800 MHz.
See the frequency correlation table.
The beacon will be 435.795 MHz. When first activated at separation the beacon
will be sending 20 wpm cw telemetry. (See related telemetry story)
Mode JD, the digital Mode J, will be activated later this autumn.

JAS-1 Telemetry Format DelK9eated
JAS-1 telemetry transmission will commence immediately upon separation about
one hour after launch. The beacon will be heard on 435.795 MHz exclusive of
Doppler shift. The telemetry will be sent on Mode JA using 20 wpm CW.
The format of the the telemetry will be as shown in Table 1. The characters
will be sent as three digit numbers in standard Morse. Telemetry sends two
types of information:
?
1) Numerical data relating to operating conditions such as temperature
2) Status points such as beacon in PSK or CW
There are 30 data items and 33 status points monitored. However, the beacon
transmits only 12 of the data items while transmitting all 33 status points.
Data items are contained in cells 1A through 3D in Table 1. In each of these
12 telemetry cells, each data word is a 3 digit number, e.g. 175, where 1 is
the row number and 75 is the data content. To convert the telemetered value to
engineering units, first ignore the most significant (left-most) digit. Then
divide the remaining two-digit number by 50 to obtain "N". Then plug "N" into
the equation shown in Table 2. For example, if 175 was sent in the 1D cell,
the value is calculated as follows: 175 discarding the 1 (row number) becomes
75. Then 75/50 = 1.5 = N. And from Table 2, for 1D, N * 4.92 = 7.38 volts.
Status points are coded in telemetry cells 4A through 5D. As before, each cell
is sent as a three character decimal number. To convert to status point
information, discard the row number (first character in each trio sent) Then
take the remaining two digit number and convert it to a three bit binary number
as in Table 3. For example, decimal 423 is sent as cell 4A. Discard the row
identifier "4" leaving 23. Convert 2 and 3 to binary: 010 and 011. Then butt
these two strings together thus: 010011. Next, discard the left-most bit to
yield 10011. This five-bit number denotes the status of the first five status
points as shown in Table 4. The left-most bit is status point 5; then next is
status point 4, etc. Thus, for this example, 423 converts to 10011 which
means:
Point 5 1 = PSK on {Left-most bit}
Point 4 0 = (not used)
Point 3 0 = (not used)
Point 2 1 = JTD on
Point 1 1 = JTA on {Right-most bit}
Similarly, cell 4B codes status points 6 through 10; 4C codes 11 through 15;
etc.

I have been asked to prepare the following information for the widest
possible dissemination by colleagues in JA-land in anticipation of the
August 12 launch of JAS-1. This JAS-1 information is in three parts:
Part 1 = CW telemetry information
Part 2 = PSK telemetry information
Part 3 = Information on JAS-1's Packet Radio Bulletin Board

2A 2B 2C 2D
3A 3B 3C 3D
4A 4B 4C 4D
5A 5B 5C 5D
Therefore CW telemetry has 20 channels of data and each channel is made
up of three digits. The numbers 1 to 5 shown above indicate channel numbers,
and each letter (A, B, C and D) stands for two digits.
Channels through 1A to 3D show analog data, while the rest (4A to 5D)
indicate status points to be described below.
?
- ** The Analog Telemetry Data ***
Number in each channel represents a two digit DECIMAL number (i.e. in
the range 00 to 99).
example: 123 ---> number is 23 (decimal) ---> N = 23.

- ** Status Telemetry Data Format ***
The number in each channel represents two digit OCTAL number, whose range is
between 00 and 37 ( 0 to 31 in decimal, 00 to 1F in hexadecimal). Therefore
only five lower bits are valid as data. Each bit represents the various
status shown in the followng table.
note: bit 0 is LSB (Least Significant Bit)
bit 4 is MSB (Most Significant Bit)
example: 432 --> 32 (Octal) = 11010 (Binary)
bit 0 (LSB) 0
bit 1 1

K : Kill file(s)
M : List file(s) to/from current user
R : Read file(s)
W : Write file

The general format is: <a command letter> <space> <argument>.
At least one blank is required between <a command letter> and
<argument>.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
?
2. Command Prompt
JAS-1 Mailbox supplies a prompt "JAS>" with no CR nor LF to
indicate that the system is ready to accept a command from the user.
A user can "type ahead" commands while JAS-1 is sending messages or
data to the user. JAS-1 will execute the commands in the waiting queue
later.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
3. Commands
3.1 The "F" command
F = FILES. Shows the latest 10 files the first time it is entered
during a session. Subsequent 'F' commands will list the next 10 active
files (messages). A message posted to multiple users has "*" in its
'To:' destination field. See also the "M" command described below.
{ The W0RLI/WA7MBL equivalent command is LL 10 the first time you
send an "F" }

Subj: Automatic tracking system
Dear Saya,
Thank you for the compliments on the manual you received from G3AAJ.
Two computers are now used--one for control of antenna system, radios,
and so forth and another one is used for the actual data capture. The
system now allows several satellites to be selected and data ports,
tracking priorities, modulation mode, and other things to be associated
with each. I have been working on a couple of articles describing the new
system and would be glad to send you copies when I am finished.

3.3 W [call1, call2, call3, ......, call7, call8]
W = Write. Send a message (file) to others. As many as eight
destination addresses can be specified. The part of the command
line in brackets [call1, call2, call3...] is optional. A message
without specific destination is "public", i.e. addressed to "ALL".
The JAS-1 mailbox will then prompt you to send the subject field by
sending "Subj:". You can send a subject field with up to a 32
character string. After receiving the "Text:" prompt, you enter the
message text, ending each line with <cr> (carriage return). You
terminate with either a

(i.e. a line containing only a period or a control-Z) to the indicate
end of your text.
{The W0RLI/WA7MBL equivalent command is "S" except that multiple

can be specified in a command line. A user can only delete files
addressed solely to himself (i.e. not to multiple users) or files he
