Just tried working the AO-85 pass over Eastern U.S. and heard something... odd. It sounded like the satellite just turned off for a few seconds. I had a really strong signal and then no signal and no sound. I don't *think* it was my side. Did anyone else hear that?

If AO-85 doesn't detect a 67.0 Hz tone for 60 seconds, it will turn off the transmitter until it hears two full seconds of a carrier with the tone.

Ahh, that would explain it. I'm pretty sure I am running the PL on my end but I don't see the requirement on the AO-85 page[0]. Perhaps someone can update it?
