Tom,

Craig, N6RSX has been corresponding with me off list and mentioned that the radio in sat mode is cross band. That turned on the light. Exactly what you noted. When i was trying to enter the 2m downlink into VFO A, VFO B was already in 2m. So i set VFO B to 6m and bingo, VFO A was able to go into 2m. Once I put in the downlink, I was able to switch VFO B to 70cmnd program that in.

Thanks to Craig for a lot of other good advice and You as well Tom for confirming the problem for others.

Now to see if I can get on the air.......

Hi Rick,

just a tip, because it happened to me ;-)

When you're going to program one vfo, make sure the other is not on the same band or you won't be abble to enter the qrg.

All,

Cross posting from the amsat-na fb page:

OK TS-2000 users, I finally have some time and decided to program the sat memories in my TS-2000. Now according to the manual you put the downlink into VFO-A and the uplink into VFO-B. Straight forward enough, problem is when I select VFO-A on the sub receiver to add it, I can't seem to make it find the 2m band. It goes from 70cm to 6m. I have no idea why it's doing this. Anyone else have this problem?
