I have listened to numerous ISS passes since the current situation started. I hear nothing on 145.825 MHz (Doppler corrected), no distorted packets or any other audible signals.

Word on the street is that the digipeater is indeed switched on, but is just not working. I have not yet had an opportunity to set up and listen for it to see if it's off completely, or if the packets are just so bad as to be un-decodable by any software.
I can tell you that prior to being shut off the last time, the packets - while decodable - were drifting in frequency pretty noticeably. There was a serious "slant" in the packets when viewed on a waterfall - and this was most definitely NOT due to doppler. Yet my Kenwood and Direwolf had no problems decoding them. I'm wondering if the digi is in fact beaconing and digipeating, but the packets are just so bad now that nothing can decode them?
Interested to see if anybody has noticed anything at all (even if it was pure silence)? Plenty of "not heard" reports on the Amsat status page - I assume those were more than just "nothing showed up on my satgate report and/or ariss.net".

If the NVT option of HW VSP is enabled, it inserts some control data in the data stream
Talk about coincidence...
I was comparing my notes and going over the UZ7HO modem setup as well as VSP setup when your message came through -- just worked a Falconsat with the VSP NVT disabled and all is fine.

Just a reminder for those using Wisp, HW VSP and the UZ7HO modem to work Falconsat:
Make sure NVT is disabled under the VSP settings tab. If enabled, it will send unwanted data to the satellite causing the directory request error no -5 that I was experiencing.

I have kept the volume up on the radio during all the passes that I've attempted and heard zero. No packet-sounding data bursts nor any sound of anything to indicate that there was a radio transmitting at all.

Hi Folks,
I?m trying to resurrect my old Alinco DJ-580 for use on AO-85/91. When using the DC supply socket on the side with a 9 V plug pack, I?m finding that the Rx audio output is very low (the nicad pack has at least 1 dead cell).
Is anyone still using one of these radios and if so how well does it perform?

Hi Terry,
Well, the small NiCd battery pack on my DJ-580 has a nominal 7.2 volt rating (when years ago it would hold a charge, that is), so a 9v supply should be plenty for proper operation. You won't get the full 5 watts out, but receive audio should be unaffected.
Perhaps the audio connectors might be dirty? Also, recall that there is a difference between the V.U.SP jack on the left, and the SP jack in the middle, with a stereo plug required for the V.U.SP jack. Which are you using? Volume control still work (no dirty wiper contacts)?
I've not used the radio for some years now, though it does still power up with external power... Might be worth dusting off, since it is full duplex.

Hi Terry,
About 3 years ago, I attempted to use my decades old Alinco DJ-580 to get me started in Sats with SO-50.? (I have the large 12V battery to get the full 5 watt output). I found the DJ-580 had less than stellar receiver sensitivity and was cumbersome in trying to get the memories set up without having to continue to push either the UHF or VHF buttons to change freqs with Doppler.? In the end, I gave up with trying to use it for satellite. After a long hiatus, this past April, I purchased a Yaesu FT-60-R and receiver sensitively was like night and day and subsequently had great success on FM birds. I still have the DJ-580 and have considered using it for TX only and the FT-60R to achieve full duplex.? Otherwise it is destined for my grave-yard box. ?

Good evening fellow satelliteers!
Finally, I was able to connect with an operator in FN65!
Today, I had the privilege of working Ken, VE3HLS, on XW-2B during his trip to New Brunswick. We completed our QSO when the satellite was at 2? for me.
I would like to publicly express my gratitude to Ken for going out of his way to help bring down the "white whale", and last grid needed in the 488 CONUS.
I want to also thank all the satellite operators that made this possible. All credit goes to them! Extra thanks to all those who travelled and helped with multiple grid squares. This has been a fun and exciting 2 years and 3 months of operating Ham Radio Satellites.
My apologies for the long list. These are the unique callsigns and number of grids I worked them on:

One other thing regarding the DJ-580 to be aware of, is the tendency for the center conductor of the antenna connector to break free from the PC board. It's a result of the BNC coming a bit loose from the case and rotating. Not too hard to fix, but you have to dig really deep into the radio to do it (the Tx board is at the bottom of the stack). Then put some locking glue around the BNC.
But that won't affect the receive audio level, per se, presuming you can still get a quieting signal into the rig.
With the agile receiver on AO-91, I wonder if the manual adjustment for Doppler might not be quite so difficult?

Good evening fellow satelliteers!
Finally, I was able to connect with an operator in FN65!
Today, I had the privilege of working Ken, VE3HLS, on XW-2B during his
trip
to New Brunswick. We completed our QSO when the satellite was at 2? for
me.
I would like to publicly express my gratitude to Ken for going out of his way to help bring down the "white whale", and last grid needed in the 488 CONUS.
I want to also thank all the satellite operators that made this possible. All credit goes to them! Extra thanks to all those who travelled and
helped
with multiple grid squares. This has been a fun and exciting 2 years and
3
months of operating Ham Radio Satellites.
My apologies for the long list. These are the unique callsigns and number of grids I worked them on:
