[HamSat] AO-51

[Timothy Pickett]

Hi Larry,

AO-51 passes my home qth about 6 or 7 times per day. Probably close to the
same at your place if you want to listen for the satellite here is the
specs:

To work Echo in this mode you need the following information:
Uplink: 145.920 MHz FM voice with 67 Hz PL.
Downlink: 435.300 MHz FM voice.
The downlink transmitter will come on when it hears an uplink signal with a
67 Hz PL tone for about 1 second.  It stays on for 10 seconds after that
signal goes away.

Good Luck! 73...

Tim
