Is 70cm an option for ISS packet this time?
Greetings everyone.
Since this most recent packet failure on the ISS, I have not heard any mention of switching back to 437.550 MHz.
Is that not an option this time?
Has it been established that some other component is at fault now, and the choice of radio would make no difference?
Thanks!

Well last time the VHF radio displayed an error and was non-operational.
This time when it stopped digipeating around last weekend it has been heard beaconing. So I think the radio is not totally non-operational so something else is probably assumed to be the problem.
With all that said I saw this earlier which seems to show it digipeating a couple days ago. Odd, right?

I just realized the screenshot shows 2016. Nevermind.

It's the custom packet module built by AMSAT that is thought to be acting up after being in service for 17 years, not the radio.

The problem this time is the packet module, not the transceiver. So no, can't just switch transceivers because the TNC is dead. Not sure about it digipeating recently. Wonder if it was NO-84 or NO-44?
