EO-80 and EO-88 have similar names. Simply based on that, seeing one might remind you of the other.
Perhaps that wasn't it though...
Regardless, the answer to the original question is on amsat.org
"Additionally, the satellite carries a AMSAT-F constructed repeater as a return favor for support of the use of the amateur bands for the primary QB50 mission. Unfortunately the primary transceiver was damaged during a test of the repeater, and the repeater is power negative. Further activation of the repeater is unlikely at this time."

I'm not getting what you mean? EO-80 is an FM transponder, EO-88 is a linear Transponder.

Maybe because Nayif-1 was just named EO-88?

Anybody know what's happening with EO-80? Wasn't the FM transponder supposed to be turned on full-time ages ago?
