Hello,
I have been doing APRS for years but new at the whole ISS APRS. What exactly do I need to do for this too work? I have D700A and know I go to the current ISS APRS freq 145.825. What satellite program do you suggest for monitoring? Using Orbitron at the moment. Is the satellite I should be viewing be the actual ISS or is it something different?

Is there a place on here that will explain exactly what to do to make the ISS contact? and is the ISS APRS station unattended or is it only operation when someone is up there?
