Wouldn't a big gun with no PLL capture the receiver and prevent it from coming on?

Only the big guns (UR5BFX, IW4DVZ, SV1EEK, HB9OAB) had more or less success - but I heard only one successful QSO between Francesco (IW4DVZ) and Nikolai (UR5BFX) at the begin of our pass. No more other contacts till LOS :-( 73, Mike DK3WN -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org] Im Auftrag von PE0SAT Gesendet: Montag, 21. Dezember 2009 20:06 An: amsat-bb@amsat.org Betreff: [amsat-bb] Unable to use HO-68 in JO21 (18:37 UTC) Hi, I was unable to open the uplink with my Yaesu FT-847. The PL tone was set 67.0 Hz but unable to open the uplink channel. During the pass I tryed the following. - Checked Subtone.SQF file twice SatPC32 (XW-1,67.0,$3F,1) - Checked Doppler.SQF (XW-1,435675,145825,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,Repeater-BBS) - Restarted SatPC32 - Switched of and on the Yaesu FT-847 - Did a manual setup via menu option 12 for the tone frequentie - Used FMN on the uplink Nothing worked :( There where only three or four stations active during this pass and that makes me wonder if I was the only one with tone problems? I did receive some BBS Packets: BJ1SA-12>BBSTAT>UI,C,F0: Open BJ1SA-12:0 BJ1SA-12>BBSTAT>UI,C,F0: Open BJ1SA-12:0 Maybe beter luck next time 73's PE0SAT _______________________________________________ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.
