I had a little time to test just now before AO-85 got too busy. I was trying to change a lot of things but at the time of the test, uplink 435175 LHCP and LHCP on the downlink was the best. Of course a short time later RHCP was better. "Tumbling Tumbleweeds" Ron W5RKN

Thanks Paul, I had heard that AO-85 was lower than the nominal, 435180, and did a short test yesterday. 435180 gave acceptable audio and 435168 produced distorted and noisy audio. I’ll try 435172. The satellite is so busy it’s hard to get a good test in. Ron W5RKN From: Paul Stoetzer Sent: Tuesday, August 09, 2016 4:08 AM To: Ronald G.

There's nothing to suggest that 145.850 isn't it for SO-50.
Measurements after launch showed that the uplink for AO-85 is about 435.172 MHz.

Is there any good current data on the actual center uplink frequency at the satellite of the current crop of FM satellites such as SO-50 and AO-85?
