I stand corrected on that... and better educated. (Also helps me understand
the way the transponder has acted at various times that didn't previously
make sense to me.) I supposed it could be desense or some other reason that
you don't hear yourself then, but hopefully understanding that you are
HEARING it will move you down the road to figuring it out and making
contacts. =^)
Actually the PL tone on AO-85 just turns the repeater on. Once it's on,
there's no tone required until it times out...that's why you hear the noise
on the uplink.

you hear IS the AO-85 downlink. The transmitter is on and transmitting and
the signal strength is going up and down due to 'tumbling', ploarity
shifting, etc. The reason you hear static is that it's not like SO-50;
instead of squelching when there is no signal, AO-85 simply rebroadcasts
what it hears... which at the moment is 'nothing', SO it is passing the
white noise from it's UHF receiver straight to the 2m transmitter.
Eventually you heard a voice there at the end, so yes, you ARE hearing it.
> If I read the TS-2000 manual correctly, your problem is that you have the
PL tone set on the receive band... not the transmit band. The 'T' should be
above the sub band display in other words. So since you are not transmitting
the proper PL tone of 67.0 Hz, you are not able to hear yourself come
through the transponder. See about fixing that and give it another try. And
from experience, I'll suggest to double check that even after you get the
'T' on the correct band, verify that it's 67.0 Hz. =^)

The signal looks like a bear claw, 6 parallel signals in the passband. What
causes that?

The other strange thing that I realized is the behavior shown in the 2nd
video is with the rig operating with it's sub receiver running. If I
understand the TS-2000's architecture, those are 2 completely separate
receivers, that are both showing the same problem.

If you enjoy the roar of a rocket in the morning there will be streaming
video of the United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket flight to deploy the
NROL-79 payload for the National Reconnaissance Office. Coverage begins
at 1730 UTC on http://spaceflightnow.com/2017/02/27/av068_journal/
Launch is planned for 1750 UTC. No amateur radio payload on this flight
... just smoke and flames.

Sounds like there's no audio, or the volume somewhere in the audio chain
is turned all the way down. Or the audio cable is broken (especially a
missing ground or ground loop). That's the sort of display I see with
fldigi when I disconnect the audio cable from the PC. Think "digital hum."

SAT Grid Chasers,
I've pretty much finished the Winter visit with my Daughter
& Family in SE TX. The SAT Eqpt is mostly packed up for the
next leg of the trip to visit my Brother in FL.
>From 2/12-2/25, the results of my activity are as follows:
- Operations = 22
- Sat's = 5 FO29-SO50-XW2F-XW2C-AO7
- Grids = 7 EL28/29/39 EM20/21/30/31
- QSO's = 171
- Unique Calls = 67
- DX Countries = 6 (+ 3 Water Grids)
I'll be here in EM20vg through 3/4 in case someone has a desperate
need for EL39 or EM20 (!) before I leave, i.e. NEW ONE! Otherwise,
my next stop will be overnight in Biloxi, MS, EM50 on 3/5, then
Live Oak, FL, EM80 on 3/6. We get to Venice, FL, EL87 for a couple
weeks starting 3/7.
For QSL info, see my page on QRZ.com.
