Hi Roy,
Im using the Sound Modem by UZ7HO and UISS vers 5.4 that I used on ISS passes and can monitor local APRS traffic. Antenna is dual band Jetstream fixed at 25 deg elevation on AZ rotor. Setup works great on all the linear and FM sats but wanted to try something new.
Thanks Frank WA2NDV

My D72/Elk was able to decode a few packets from each of the callsigns, but not display them as they appear to be non-standard APRS format (like the PSAT beacons).
The ISS packets were very strong compared to these, so that could be one reason. What antenna/transceiver/tnc are you using?

Wondering if its just me or does it seem like the deviation is low on these
sats. I can not distinguish which one I am hearing since I can not decode anything yet. I used to copy the ISS packets no problem. BTW has anyone heard any FM voice beacons ? Thanks Frank WA2NDV
