My thought was desense from your transmitter. What's the antenna setup? I think I saw that answer on QRZ or somewhere, but don't recall.

Yes. I know that a strong uplink can overpower the transponder, so I started on low power and worked my way all the way up to the high power setting with almost no difference (at least that I could see). Existing QSO's saw no issues whatsoever during my Tx'ing. We've got a 77deg pass here in less than an hour, I'll try and get a screen grab of the waterfall (maybe I'll record the whole passband).

Do you see the other strong signals while you are transmitting as well? 73, Drew KO4MA
