A good question. Some people seem to get in effortlessly, others seldom if at all. I fall into the seldom category, though I had better luck today. Someone suggested that perhaps my dilithium crystals needed realignment, so I pulled out my calibrated deviation meter, and verified the PL is set as recommended for the FT-847 at 700 Hz. Next, I pulled out my counter with GPS time base, and measured 66.961 Hz for the tone. I am pretty certain that an accuracy of .06% should be good enough. ;)
I am wondering if it wants significantly more or less PL audio level. It shouldn't be too hard to rig up an external injection when the operation is more frequent. You have got to love satellite ops. Always something interesting to consider!
