It sounds like you are not transmitting the tone... You should have two entries for SO-50 in the SubTone.SQF file: SO-50,67.0,$3F,1 SO-50,74.4,$3E,3 When you click the T0 in the upper left part of the SatPC32 screen, it will change to T1, indicating that you have selected the first tone (67.0)

According to www.issfanclub.com, the ISS repeater has not been active for almost 2 years now. At one point it was rumored that the memory programming of the radio had been messed up, and the crew did not know how to put it into crossband repeat mode manually. Don't know whether that's true or
