Hi Jayson.
Over here in Europe, AO-85 has a lot of users who are always slightly off frequency which produces poor audio on the transponder.
My guess is that the uplink frequency needs tweaking for optimum auto tracking. The downlink appears about 2k low at 145.978, but to be fair that isn't a problem with FM.
Good luck
David

Hi All,
I was wondering if someone could help me with the setup files for the Lilacsat-2 andEO-85 FM birds, as for some reason I'm unable to trigger the input on either bird - I'm hearing the beacons fine though.
For Lilacsat-2 I have the following in the Doppler.SQF file
LILACSAT-2,437200,144350,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,FM Transponder
LILACSAT-2,437225,144350,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,CW Beacon
LILACSAT-2,144390,144390,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,APRS
For EO-85 I have the following in the Doppler.SQF file
AO-85,145980,435170,FM,FM,NOR,0,0
Along with these details in the SubTone.SQF file
AO-85,67.0,$3F,1
Is there anything blaringly obvious that I've done wrong?
