I have been monitoring the packet frequency 145.825 for a few close passes to home and I did not hear the digi-repeater. Does anyone know if it is turned on? Mike Lib

Looks like the packet has been off for the last few passes ? John
Latest pass over USA on 20, Jan, 2010 at 19:00:34 - 19:10:14 UTC - only a couple of stations were heard via ISS and seemed like early loss of ISS FM APRS signal (LOS) about mid pass.

Probably jumped the gun on powering down the system in peparation for today's Soyuz relocation activity.

Hi evryone,
Been monitoring ISS 145.825 for a few weeks without success, but today at 11:19 local time in Mallorca Islan (Spain), i received and decoded packets from the ISS as follows ;
W3ADO-1>BEACON,SGATE : T#011,099,089,051,127,214,11111111,0010,1
c w3ado-1 *** CONNECTED to W3ADO-1 Mission is UI digi only. No connections. Tnx. *** DISCONNECTED
I inmediately checked my Orbitron software, and ISS wasn't over me at that time !! So i guess that they trusted ISS after the latest keeps they took.

It's it up and running.. Thanks. John
You heard PCsat. ISS and PCsat are both on 145.825. Check the callsign you captured to know which you actually heard.
Hi all, Have connected to ISS's BBS, is up and running very well , alot of APRS activity ...

Indeed ISS packet runs fine. And I saw my beacon arrived (via ISS) on Mallorca Island ;-)

Dear Tomas a 145.825 in paket 1200 You've probably heard PCsat (no-44) http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/satellites/satInfo.php?satID=17&retURL=/satellites/status.php at 11-01-2010 at 10.19z is over Spain .

At 7 Jan. is a ARISS school contact planned, probably the packet will be switched on after (no garantee). Crew had a busy period and ham radio has no prior, and not all astronauts have an intrest in amateur radio (so they do not think about it).
It has been shut down since the last shuttle visit... reason unknown...

Thanks for the response, I will monitor the packet frequency every now and then. The grandkids are all in school so hopefully there is a school sked coming up and they will turn the station on. Mike Lib WA2ACV
Sure has been a long spell without the ISS radios being turned on. John
Perhaps the next station to act as ground station for a school QSO could ask the ISS crew to switch the VHF/UHF repeater ON. How long has it been off now -- eight months?

ISS packet was active just one day ago: 01:05:58:32 : RS0ISS-4]CQ,SGATE,qAo,N6VIG:]ARISS - International Space Station (BBS/APRS on) 01:06:00:32 : RS0ISS-4]CQ,SGATE,qAS,W7XZ-6:]ARISS - International Space Station (BBS/APRS on) 01:06:02:32 : RS0ISS-4]CQ,SGATE,qAS,W7XZ-6:]ARISS - International Space Station (BBS/APRS on) 01:06:03:35 : N7OFW]APX190,RS0ISS-4*,qAS,W7XZ-6:=4548.12N/12242.07WxPHG5120XASTIR-Linux
And again 5 days ago: 05:01:59:00 : RS0ISS-4]CQ,SGATE,qAR,ZS5PMB-4:]ARISS - International Space Station (BBS/APRS on) 05:02:18:59 : RS0ISS-4]CQ,SGATE,qAR,CE2UGO-1:]ARISS - International Space Station (BBS/APRS on) 05:02:21:00 : RS0ISS-4]CQ,SGATE,qAR,CE2UGO-1:]ARISS - International Space Station (BBS/APRS on) 05:02:42:58 : RS0ISS-4]CQ,SGATE,qAo,N6VIG:]ARISS - International Space Station (BBS/APRS on) 05:02:44:58 : RS0ISS-4]CQ,SGATE,qAS,W7XZ-6:]ARISS - International Space Station (BBS/APRS on) 05:03:54:59 : RS0ISS-4]CQ,SGATE,qAR,CE2UGO-1:]ARISS - International Space Station (BBS/APRS on)
It seems to work in packet mode for just a couple of orbits. Trying to determine issue:
The crossband repeater was last active in June 2009 during ARRL Field Day. Requested that Russian team activate it during Christmas period but that did not occur. Not sure when it will be available for activation again.
The Kenwood D700 only runs one mode at a time.
I know that pcsat is on it and hear it from time to time but have not heard iss in a while. On monitoring the frequency I have heard telemetry around 7:00am est and later sometime after 8am , I was unable to try to decode it but don't know what satellite it may be from or what it may have been. I receive it better on a mobile antenna on the roof of the house. When i change to the 4 bay antennas the telemetry is gone but the mobile omni seems to receive it better. I dont think it is iss telemetry but maybe another satellite sending telemetry at 145.825 anyone know what it might be or have any news on iss and the packet system 73 howard n1ncb
