AMATEUR RADIO STATION ONBOARD THE ISS GOES ON FM
REPEATER MODE
The ARISS program is
pleased to announce that the amateur radio equipment aboard the International
Space Station is now operating in cross-band repeat mode. We realize that
many will miss the packet-operating mode. However, cross-band repeat
allows further experimentation of the ISS amateur radio system
The downlink for this
operating mode remains the same, so listen for the station on 145.80 MHz.
The new uplink frequency is 437.80 MHz.
All frequencies are
subject to Doppler shifting. For further information on working
satellites and adjusting for Doppler shift, please review Emily Clark's (W0EEC)
excellent presentation on AMSAT's website, http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/information/faqs/Intro_sats.pdf
