Lately, I've been trying other FM satellites besides SO-50. I have made contacts on AO-92, but I can't get anything from AO-85.
On AO-85 I can hear the voice ID of the satellite plain as day, but I never hear any other hams trying to make contacts and I can't seem to get into the satellite.
My set up is two Baofeng handhelds and an Arrow antenna. This set up works fine on SO-50 and AO-92 so I know that it works.
For AO-85 I'm using 435.170 for the uplink and 145.980 for the downlink. I have the uplink sending the 67.0 Hz tone.
So, what am I missing? Constructive tips would be very much appreciated.
