Please check my settings for ISS
I've tried listening to a few passes (as high as 70 degrees) the last 2 days and heard nothing but silence. I must be doing something wrong. Can the group confirm I am doing this right for the current cross band repeater?
My Xmit is 145.99 tone 67 hz My RX is 437.8
My radios, antennas, preamps, and such are fine as I can still work SO-50, AO-51, and FO-29. What gives?

Hi Mike, I heard the ISS loud and clear a couple of night ago, but it was silent for me last night at about 10:30pm PST.

Hi Tim,
There was a school contact last night around midnight PST. The downlink site was in Santa Rosa, California, (telebridged over to India) and I had a very clean copy here in CM98 using just a 5/8 wave J-pole up on the roof. The crew probably had the repeater off by that time, in preparation for the contact.
Congrats on the /AG upgrade!

I have been too busy to try ISS in the last week but just checked my handy-dandy AMSAT Frequency Guide and note that ISS Cross Band Repeater is:
437.800 UP 145.800 DOWN as always
Is this still correct for today's configuration?
Mike, does you email have a typo on the RX and TX being reversed or are you really set in that mode?
Or has someone on ISS hit the reverse button :-)
My next pass is in 5 hours and only 4 degrees so can even test this tonight.

Right normally its 70cm and 2M down if cross band enabled. But the ISS is specially configured as I described as part of the anniversary.
