They likely shut it off for power budget purposes. The PSK transponder is the primary mission and the digipeater is only on when the power budget permits.

Patrick,
I see the APOFF in the <UI> path. I can't remember what causes that. I will have to read the WEB site, unless Bob B. bails me out.

Hi!
Based on what I see at pcsat.aprs.org, the 145.825 APRS digipeater is not operational. I still plan on working the next ISS pass around 0248 UTC, using APRS mesaages to make QSOs..
73!
