Thanks for the reply, Jeff. I only had half the picture when I asked this, earlier today, until Drew was kind enough to get me on track. But now, I'm curious - if the first channel is so busy, why isn't the second used more? Did it only recently became available? Can they not operate concurrently? Does channel 1 have better ears &/or more power? I'll listen in on WD9EWK's activity this coming Saturday and maybe I'll learn a thing or two more.

The 435.300 freq is the primary FM downlink channel which is almost always crowded with signals. I think the suggestion was to try listening to that to see if you're hearing the satellite. The 2nd channel downlink is 435.150 (tune for doppler) and leave the squelch off.

435.300 downlink? I thought it was 435.150.
