To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz. The order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary) 1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute timer on board the spacecraft. 2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the repeater on and off within the 10 Minute window. 3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset the 10 minute timer.

PCSAT2 SPECIAL EVENT AND OPERATIONS -------------------------------------------------------------- Subj: ISS Packet =>VOICE Contacts:
Starting on 4 August, and for the 26 days remaining of PCSAT2's operation on ISS, PCSAT2 will be configured for VOICE response to normal packets transmitted via the normal ISS digipeater 145.99 uplink (or PCSAT2's uplink on 145.825 if the ARISS packet system is not operational). The command station's voice downlink will be on 437.975 +/- Doppler and he/she willl attempt to acknowledge by voice all packets seen on the packet uplink.
The UHF downlink will be weak (only 1 Watt) and being UHF (9dB worse than 2m), will need at least a small beam to hear it.
Users who want to participate, simply send your packets as normal VIA ARISS on 145.99 uplink (if available or via 145.825 if not) but listen on the 437.925 downlink for the combined voice and packets. This will only work when PCSAT2 is in range of a participating command station and there is no guarantee that all command stations will be available on any given pass. In otherwords, this may be rare, but fun.
Right now, passes in the Northern Hemisphere are occuring before sunrise, so only the last two morning passes may be so manned for voice. Passes in the Southern Hemisphere right now are from midday into evening.
Best thing to do is simply monitor 437.975 during ISS passes and if you hear a command station, then send us a 'hello' packet via the ISS digipeater.
We need a volunteer command station in South America, South Africa and some other footprints too if activity is desired in those areas.

During the period 15 June to 17 July 2006 nothing has been heard from the satellite. It was last heard on 05 May, just one day before the solar eclipses were due to start. These eclipses will continue until 04 August 2006, reaching a maximum duration of 22% around 19 June. If the satellite behaves in the same way as it did last year, regular 10 day transmissions should re-start, sometime in August.
