It was one of the busiest passes I have encountered and it isn't even Saturday yet !! Heard many new calls and tried calling back but got stepped on, probably from guys operating simplex, finally got N7AGF when the bird was almost LOS. No worries, it was a fun learning experience. 73!

Drew,
Today's 1941 UTC AO-91 pass over much of the continental USA sounded fine. Some stations early in the pass, then many more as North Dakota and N7AGF came into the footprint. Along with the activity on the FM repeater, the telemetry page shows several stations uploaded telemetry during the pass. My audio from this pass is in my Dropbox space http://dropbox.wd9ewk.net/ (folder "Satellite_Audio-2019", then look for the filename starting with 20190501). I was using the same TH-D72/Elk combination today that I used yesterday.
It appears the reset you did to AO-91 yesterday fixed the issues. The two passes yesterday, along with the pass earlier today, have sounded normal.
73!

I cycled the power to the IHU and it popped right back the way it should be. Should be fine now, but reports for the next day or two will be appreciated.
