I have been unable , so far, to get anything from FAST 2 on 145.825 with satpc tracking for doppler. I get a quick carrier keyed up but no packet data. And that is on some pretty good 35+ degree passes. Any help would be appreciated. I am able to hear and get data from FAST 1 fine. Thank es 73 Joe KI4TZ

Joe,
FAST2 is in Safe Mode. You can hear the 9k6 beacon every 2 minute. There is no 1k2 AFSK beacon (in this mode).

Finally was able to get some of the FAST2 9600 baud beacon on 145.825, but had go to PASSALL ON on the KPC-9612. The signal is strong, but there must be some distortion in the transmitter.
