YB0X-1 beacon seen on APRS downlink 145.825 by ZS3JPY
Possibly the Indonesian satellite IO-86 had something to do with it?

APRS down in VHF ...now on UHF band !
APRS packet system that normally operates 145.825 MHz has not been available. Crew member Shane Kimbrough, KE5HOD, has activated an ARISS UHF radio that had been in storage on the ISS, and it is now operational on 437.550 MHz.
The packet system uses the same protocol as the VHF system. Operators using the system should adjust for increased Doppler shift at UHF.
Kenwood TM-D710 to replace all Amateur Radio transceivers on board the ISS.
The target date for delivery is late 2017 , hi !!

Any word on the repair of the Packet Digipeater?
Any hope of/or word on the repair or a fix for the Packet Digipeater on the ISS ?
Didn't the Kenwood radio they used before, have the packet built in ? Could they use that one again, or did thy get rid of that radio ?
Just wondering, the ISS is too quiet down here without packet.. hi
