Mode and Antenna Polarization: V: Linear U: Linear
Official Webpage: http://saudisat.kacst.edu.sa/index.shtml (not up and running currently)
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.

This off the AO-27 website: For the last 5 weeks ground controllers have been trying to contact AO-27. At this point we have not been able to turn it on. We still have a few tricks that we are planning on trying but these take time. We are hoping that we can re-establish communications.
At this time, we don't have an estimate for when AO-27 will be back on the air.
AO-27 is now in its 14th year on orbit. We will continue to try to recover AO-27 until we run out of ideas. - Michael N3UC
