Only one uplink is in use, so the PBBS users and digi users are going to be on the same uplink frequency. This is a shared uplink and downlink with<br \/>\nthe PBBS, so do not overload it with continuous, or high duty rate, beacons or broadcasts.<\/p>\n<p>This is not the 10 watt plus transmitter that is on the ISS. It will take a higher gain receiving station to hear the 9k6 signal of AO-51. You will not need a strong signal for the uplink though, as AO-51 hears very well. Note that the uplink and downlink are both at 9600 baud.<\/p>\n<p>Downlink: 435.300 FM 9600 baud<br \/>\nUplink: 145.860 FM 9600 baud<br \/>\nDigi Callsign: PACB-1<\/p>\n<p>If you are using TlmEcho there is a bug in the program regarding the Digipeat Status display. That has been fixed in the new version, and a number of new features added as well. A new version of TlmEcho is expected to be released soon.<\/p>\n<p>For the time being, if you monitor the 9k6 downlink you can use the LSTAT status message to verify that the digipeater is turned on. If the message contains &#8220;d:1&#8221;, then the digi function is enabled. If it contains &#8220;d:0&#8221; the digi is turned off.<\/p>\n<p>Mike, KE4AZN, added, &#8220;I want to personally thank Jeff, KB2M, and Gould, WA4SXM, for their help in testing the digipeat function.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mike, KE4AZN<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Southgate ARC: The Digipeater function on AO-51 has been turned on for a &#8216;Trial Test Session&#8217;.
