What is the difference between FC1 transponder mode and the transponder payload on EO-79 being on?

Hi All,
FC1 is now in continuous transponder mode for the holiday period. Normal autonomous operation will recommence from late MONDAY evening.
As reported earlier today, the transponder payload on EO-79 has also been switched on and, so long as the on board bus voltage stays up above its safe mode setting, then this should also be active.
Have a great FUN weekend and enjoy the birds.
