That's true but you would think there would be others on the bird.

Matt,
Did you transmit the ON tone? SO-50 is set up so you have to turn it on by transmitting on 145.85 with a PL of 74.4 hz for 2 seconds. This turns it on for 10 minutes (if I recall correctly). Once it's on you transmit on 145.850 with a 67.0hz PL.

Was listening for the SO-50 pass @ 22:58Z and didn't hear anything. A check of the Oscar status website reveals that it was active a couple hours ago. Did anyone else hear it during the latest pass? I finally got setup to start recording the birds with my computer and was going to use SO-50 as a test.
