Hi Michael,
Are you using any software to work the Satellites? For example Ham Radio Deluxe or SatPC32.
I tried to get it working with HRD and it is not possible on the other hand with SatPC32 it is working like a charm.
So give it a try

Good morning Amsat,
I have been struggling this morning to work SO-50 from an FT-847 and wondering if I am missing something.
I had a 26deg pass today and could hear everyone fine.
I am transmitting on 145.8500 +/- auto Doppler correction. I am using PL encode set in the radio on 67hz. I have the transmit on the subband and receive on the main band.
Am I missing something simple? I couldn't seem to get into the satellite today no matter what I did.
I have never been able to work SO-50. This same setup performed flawlessly on AO-51. My only thought is the CTCSS tone is not being generated or is not transmitting on the SUB Band? It does state ENC for Tone Encode on the FT-847 sub band.
Curious what the list thinks I may have wrong? I really want to get active on SO-50 for the rest of the summer.
Thanks for any thoughts, ideas, past gotchas, etc..
Mike
