Re: FM on VO-52 or others
If you don't TX with the lower power, you basically turn the linear transponder into a single channel FM satellite and no one else can use it.
Maybe a job for a future SDX to sort out. :)
The last time I tried to use AO-51, I could hardly get in due to all the users. But, on the next VO-52 pass, I couldn't raise a soul!

If we had some clever, low-bit rate, Doppler insensitive digital voice protocols, we could use the VO-52 transponder in a multi-use fashion. There were some plans for a similar scheme on AO-51, but nothing has appeared yet.
