Re: Contact with ISS
I heard two local stations using the cross band repeater function last night.
Downlink audio was on 145.800 MHz, uplink is 437.800 MHz.

*phew* I was desperate to get in with the short breaks they were leaving - quite a long pass and almost directly overhead which I think helped me to get on.VK6ZMS wrote:nah I could hear you OK.
Yep, on the VX7R - I spent my lunchtime at work today programming 5 channels with the offsets including doppler shifts as it went over, I'm pleased it worked, it took aaages!VK6ZMS wrote: Did you say you were on your hand held?
