Been trying to send a beacon on 145.825 MHz APRS to these satellites with no response ( 50 watts and vertical ) for several weeks now.
Have these satellites been reprogrammed for another protocol or another frequency other than 145.825 ??

50 watts - i think you blew the front end out of ISS
UNPROTO APRS V ARISS
Simplex - NOT DUPLEX.
145.825 MHz - 1200 baud
XMITOK ON
Look on my website for Satellite Status

Hi Jeff.
No change of frequencies for either.
Just watched the ISS go over with plenty of traffic on the 145.825 downlink.
Same for ANDE, but very little traffic. It's getting harder to hear/decode as it falls to earth.
I may get 1 hit on the ISS if I am lucky with 25watts to an omni.
73, Dave.
You have the frequency correct. Make sure your path has UNPROTO via ARISS set and you are using standard AX.25 packet. That should do the trick for both. ANDE is hard to hit and hear but ISS is usually not a problem.
