I was wondering about that. If so I was going to submit that for next month.
Also: George I saw that AO-27 had tried d-star, but have not seen if they were going to try that again.

We don't really know yet. It depends on a few factors including any audio conditioning that happens in repeater mode. If more than one or two stations send in a request to ao51-modes@amsat.org, we can try to set aside a day next month to try Dstar on the repeater pair we normally use for QRP ops.

Hi all:
Can AO-51 do D-Star mode?

As the article on the AO-27 site implies, it depends whether the signal path between Rx and Tx on AO-51 can pass the baseband data signal. There are at least 2 ways of determining that:
1. Ask the builders of the satellite.
2. Try it (but get the blessing of the control ops first).
