Yes, receiver set to FM on 145.800 MHz and SSTV software (MMSSTV) set for Robot
36. Mode changes to PD-160 on Thursday and Friday.

All of the current amateur radio hardware is FM only.
SSTV from ISS is FM-5k, 145.800 downlink.
The Doppler on 2meters is small, so you do not really have to
bother with Doppler.

It likely that this spacecraft will be tracked as part of the JPL HORIZONS

Thanks Drew, I kind of thought that. I also answered some of my other

They are no longer produced, but you occasionally see one posted here on the

There was one on here just a few days ago. You have to move fast on them

Sapphire was declared non-operational on 22 March 2007 by Mike

students) who built Sapphire at Stanford). The last known
contact was by Bill, KB2RC on 5 Nov 2004.
