ISS radio off!
Hello All,
We have seen that the ISS APRS digipeater is off for long periods.
Probably Russian astronaut Pavel still does not know how to switch -
the ISS kenwood to the aprs freq.
I gues it will be bored for many months, Samburov (ARISS team) wrote me in-
an e-mail (a week agoo) that a message was sended to Pavel, also I have
contacted ARISS manager EU about this problem.
I'm sure that ARISS team have tried to get a message to ISS crew but probably
Pavel does not understand how to switch to the aprs freq.
We have seen that USA astronaut Jeff knows how to switch the ISS kenwood
back to the aprs freq.
