I just turned on the PSAT digipeater. You will notice that its callsign in this mode is just “PSAT” and not PSAT-1 when it is in SAFE mode.
The ALIASes supported are ARISS and APRSAT.
The PSK-31 transponder also remains in AUTO mode meaning it will come up whenever there are PSK31 signals on the 28.120 + frequency.

Very lonely on the 1705 UTC Eastern US pass but it hears well, responds to ARISS and I got several asterisks confirmation.
10 watts to a base station vertical. KPC-3.

Heard the PSAT APRS beacon, KB2M, N3FCX, K0KOC, and an acknowledgement of my own position on the 1737Z pass from hear in Washington, DC with my Kenwood TH-D7A(G) and an Arrow antenna. Didn't get any decodes below 25 degrees or so with just the HT. I guess that's to be expected with the lower transmit power.
It doesn't look like any iGates picked the activity up on this pass.
