Gentlemen,
Please do not use D-Star via AO-51. If you want to try D-Star on satellite right now, use AO-27 where the control ops welcome it, or request some time set aside on AO-51 via the ao51-modes email address. The repeater modes on AO-51 are for analog voice only unless otherwise designated in the monthly schedule. Request some time on a second repeater to try the mode and it -will- be approved, but do not mix it up with the analog users.
73, Drew KO4MA AMSAT-NA VP Operations

Hey Luc, I can TX on DSTAR tonight, but I do not have the S mode capability. There is a close pass at 22:42 utc that I am willing to TX for you. Let me know.

I will listen to you and will try to record with scanrec. Try 2 or 3 transmissions only when the satellite will be in your best range as you cannot hear your downlink you can step over someone else QSO
Thank,s
