Hi Rick, To be honest I haven't decided. It depends on what the interference situation is tomorrow. I shut the 435.300 transmitter off so there was enough power to turn the digital transmitter on for some quick telemetry. To be honest I didn't notice the carrier until after I turned 300 back on

Hi Drew, I heard you turn the bird off on the previous pass for a couple minutes because the carrier was there. The big question, are you going to leave the uplink on 145.920 until Wednesday, or back to 145.880? This answer will remove some further emails and phone calls as to why they can't

Hi All, I just got off of AO51, and I could not get in for some reason. I was in V/U mode, and I am aware that it is in V/SU. I was transmitting on the 145.880 uplink (no PL). I heard several others on, but I could not hear myself in the downlink, and no one would respond to my calls. All I
