There is no tone. The thing to remember is this is not being turned on for random contacts. It is setup to retransmit one of the student sats that was recently deployed by hand from the ISS during a Russian EVA. That sat transmits on 437.050 and that is why the uplink is 437.050 and not the "normal" 437.800 that is published as the repeater frequency on ariss.org for example.

Just to clarify, the downlink is 145.800 and uplink is 437.800? Is there a tone. Someone posted the wrong uplink frequency I think and I just monitored a wonderful pass with lots of great signals heard in FN21. I was unable to hear myself and suspect I had the wrong uplink frequency. Thanks for clarification 73 Rick, W2JAZ _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
