Hello John and BB,

AO-51 is collecting telemetry, but not transmitting telemetry.

I turned off TXA last night when I switched modes as the schedule did not include the telemetry downlink.

If I use the SQRX receiver, then I need to decrease the transmitter power for the batteries to make it through eclipse.

I will experiment tomorrow increasing TXB downlink with SQRX On and TXA off.

Enjoy the new mode, great to see the good comments on the mode changes this month - Thanks.

Did anyone copy any AO-51 telemetry on the most recent (00:19z 25JUL07) North American pass?

At max elevation, the received signal strength for the voice downlink was S7 at my location (FM29), but on 435.150 beacon frequency, zip,nada, nothing.

Any thoughts?
