I assume by offset you mean like a repeater offset. SO-50, like the other FM voice satellites, is cross band. SO-50 listens on 145.850, and transmits on 436.795 or thereabouts. You also need a 67 Hz PL tone on the uplink.

Hello there,
I am rather new to satellites and I am wondering when you contact So50 is there a plus or minus setting or is it supposed to be a no offset? Otherwise, I have everything else going and heard So50 just about 5 minutes ago.
Have a wonderful day. Scott Berry n7zib@northlc.com _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author. Not an AMSAT-NA member?
