One more SO-67 question. Why is there an echo on the downlink? Usually I hear someone talking and then hear the same words a second or two later, but much louder. 73, Bill NZ5N Is SO-67 operating on the published frequencies (145.870/435.345) or does one of up/down need an adjustment?

Dave, Look above the AF/RF gain knob. To the left of the FM/AM button. The one that says NAR. If you use a program such as SATPC32, use FMN rather than FM for the mode. Hope this helps. Alan WA4SCA -Original Message- From: amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org [mailto:amsat-bb-boun...@amsat.org]

Hi Dave, I think you got the answers from the other respondents - but I would like to add a few remarks: 1. The most important in my humble opinion - do not use the CTCSS tone. In my experience it breaks through on the downlink. That does not sound very good. 2. Use normal FM - not FM narrow -
