I agree, that PSK-31 Transponder is a BLAST! I am sad that it barely

I have tried to digipeat thru NO-84 a number of times in the past, but
the signal always seemed to be very weak, even on high passes. I have
never gotten a packet repeated through it. I have tried via both ARISS
and PSAT. I am pretty sure my station is set up properly because I have
made quite a few complete QSOs thru the ISS on both VHF and UHF. Does my
experience square with what others have seen with NO-84 packet?

I've never experienced a PSAT pass that was of decent elevation (say, over
20?) that I couldn't get into with an arrow and 10w from my D710.
And occasionally it sounds so strong as to lead me to believe it's putting
out at LEAST 5 watts (which we know is not the case).
That's when it's on, of course.

Thanks for that info, Roy. Perhaps what I have heard in the past was some
sort of telemetry coming from NO-84. Is it also sending a data beacon?

If the PSAT packets are shown as "PSAT-1]APOFF", then all it sends out are
beacons (with embedded telemetry info, more info on Bob's website, aprs.org
).
If the packets are shown as "PSAT]APRSON", then it will send beacons, and
occasional friendly messages, as well as digipeat (use "ARISS" as path).
If you send a message directly to "PSAT" (while it is on), then it will not
digipeat it, and instead will eventually respond with some information
about the next AOS (I think, it's been a while).
It's really a neat satellite.

I have in the past used this program often to see when there were mutual
windows with a second station it worked great, but now I can not seem to
make it do that anymore. Can anyone help?

Hi Andrew,
Any drop below the critical threshold of 7.5V results in a reset. All
settings are reset to their default values and by default the APRS
digipeater is OFF. BTW, the PSK31 transponder is always ON.
