This is the way it has always been with this bird, I posted this about a
month ago

I also worked AO-73 for the first time this weekend (thanks all involved
for the new sat) and noticed the frequency shift also. As the bird came up I
found my D/L at about 5k higher than the advertised center frequency. What
was different was that by the end of the pass, the D/L ended up about 10k
higher than the Doppler adjustment supplied by PCSat32. It was like, as the
transponder was being used and warmed up it went higher in frequency. I
found that during several QSO's I made, I had to adjust the D/L up several
times. As I had just worked VO-52 this was noticeably different. I'm not
complaining, I just thought this worth mentioning :-)

Yep, it drifts. Best to tune that one by hand in my opinion. G0MRF addressed
it in an email to the -bb a while ago if I recall correctly.

Hi all,
I'm having great fun on all the operational satellites, including AO-73.
However, I find that even using CAT control I have to adjust the
uplink frequency almost constantly throughout the pass.
I have to shift buy about 3500Hz overall from start to finish,
increasing all the time.
Is everyone else seeing the same effect?
