XW-1 FM voice no work over Australia
I also heard the beacon very well here in FM09 on my d700 with a mag-mount in the car but I didnt hear the carrier or anything on the repeater. Lets hope all is well with our new sat.

Ryan -- I had the same concerns, until I re-read Alan's letter, which said "XW-1 FM and store-forwared transponder will be turn on again between 1205UTC and 1352UTC on Dec. 18." The recent pass over NA was about 14:20UTC. Rats!
Glad to hear you're trying an omni antenna. Was this in a rural or urban area? Did you use a preamp with this?

Ryan,
There is no carrier on the repeater until somebody turn on his uplink with 67Hz PL, or transponder will transmit PACSAT UI frame per 12 second if uplink is idless.

Alan,
Tried on the 15.46 UTC pass on Dec 18th with the 67Hz PL but was unable to trigger. Wonder if the FM xponder was on at that time. My ICOM 821H does not have the CTCSS optional unit installed and I was using an application called comtekk to inject the 67Hz tone from my PC using the acc socket in the Radio. Let us know when the linear transponder will be available.

Orbit #51 over Syracuse, NY FN13---max elevation 8.9 degrees.
No FM downlink at all but I did hear the beacon up the band right where it was supposed to be. 13B2, 70cm mast mount SSB pre, FT 726R.
Nice big footprint. My first time trying to find this bird. Congrats and good luck to all involved.
73,
