The radio should be in packet mode.  I am going to try and indicate what mode the radio is being set back to after an ARISS contact when I post the ARISS announcements to the AMSAT-BB.  I will also try to let everyone know what mode is being used if the mode changes again between ARISS school contacts. 73,Charlie Sufana AJ9NOne of the ARISS Mentors In a message dated 2020-10-15 09:28:14 Eastern Standard Time, amsat-bb@amsat.org writes:  Hi Jose. It looks like the ISS is sending packet at the moment. Just check out https://www.AMSAT.org/status/ to see what is happening with all the birds. 63, Rick
