It is, but your uplink signal is going to be Doppler shifted, so it's going to drift through the waterfall (+/- 0.7 kHz through a pass), unless you are controlling your transmit frequency for Doppler.

Okay, I must be misunderstanding how this works. I thought the down link was FM like the beacon which for me is at 308 Hz on the waterfall.

Mike, I used my day to day DM780 settings. Dial setting was 28.120 and I just picked the middle of the waterfall to TX.
On the RX, you need to keep the cursor moving as the trace moves quickly. It does not stay in one place like normal psk

Is the uplink on 28.120 + audio or does the psk31 signal need to be at 28.120 i.e. 28.119 USB with 1000 Hz psk31?
I copied some beacons but didn't see anything from my attempt to uplink.

PSAT PSK31 is always in AUTO mode. It will come up whenever
it hears
PSK31 on the 28.120 uplink.

Congratulations Bob and USNA on another successful
spacecraft.
I listened for the first time this morning and could hear
the
beacon and
transponded PSK31 without any trouble.
But I was not expecting the 435.350 carrier to stop every
now
and again.
What determines if the carrier is on or off. - Beacon
timing.- OK, but is
the transmitter also PSK activated in someway? Or is it a
timer.
Very nice for saving power.
Thanks

PSAT PSK31 435.350 MHz FM downlink is full quieting with
6
bars using a
decent UHF Yagi.
But we have not seen any users other than those using the
28.120
PSK channel on HF normally. We welcome people to experiment
with
it.
Everyone within the 28.120 to 28.123 MHz ten meter passband will be
uplinked
and heard on the 435.350 MHz downlink.
The Naval Academy's PSAT seems healthy with plenty of power
(we are
keeping the APRS digipeater off to allow max power for
PSK31).
PSAT 's radio and packet system are a simple $250 APRS trackerhttp://www.byonics.com/mtt4b sent to space. The
PSK31
transponder is
a single 3.4" square circuit board made by Brno Universtiy
in
the
Czech Republic. The CPU for controlling bulletins and timing
is
a
simple Parallax Basic Stamp.
PSAT is actually only about a 1U cubesat but in a 1.5U
package since
the flight was available and it gave us more power for our
NON-SPACE
solar cells. We are using standard silicon that are only
half as
efficient as multi-junction cells, but only cost 1% as
much.
