The following array of Cubesat satellites has been operational for a year or two: D-STAR ONE iSat (Norad ID: 43879) D-STAR ONE Sparrow (43881) D-STAR ONE Lightsat (44393) D-SATR ONE Exoconnect (44410) They all use the same (voice) downlink frequency 435.525 MHz transmitted at 0.8-1.2W.. Real-time tracking information available at www.n2yo.com will allow you to find out when those D-STAR satellites will cross your skies. With that information and providing you have a tracking antenna, our receivers can bring you a new and unique experience. The official D-STAR ONE project website: www.d-star.one Have fun!

AR-DV1 and AR-DV10 being now the number 1 selling digital receivers in Japan, this year we put the emphasis on AIRBAND & AIRPORT listening, under the topic "Make monitoring exciting again!".
