Hi,
I was listening last night in the pass over NA and Caribbean (I'm in FL11/Cuba) and get a great signal of the packet downlink on the repeater output in 70cm but no audio...
I tried to get into the sat repeater with no joy, is the repeater turned on full time or it has a schedule or other trick beside the PL tone?
Gear here:
* 70cm: 1 turn QFHA + LNA + 10m AH LDF4 +Vcc Tap for LNA with HPF + RTL-SDR (CAT controlled via GQRX in linux)
* 2m: 1 turn QFHA or J-pole + 20m AH LDF4 + Alinco DR-130 (5W) / Baofeng (2.5 Khz step 5W)
Note: with this setup I'm able to work SO-50 successfully (QSO with HP2BWY) just minutes before this pass of BY70-1, so the hardware is working great.
