ISS on Kenwood D710 - Help!
Well, having now driven myself officially insane, I have a giant favor to ask...My grandson and I have been trying to set up the 710 to APRS the Space Station...I have followed several YouTube videos to the letter...I have a been using a good tracking program...In three nights of listening on 145.825 we have not heard a single packet, had a single "hit" on APRS...I know now that the VHF is down and the ISS is using 437.55...So do I simply change the Beacon Freq to that and transmit the Beacons as usual?

Any word on when the ISS packet will be on VHF again?
Hello,
Just wondered if any one heard when the ISS packet will be back on VHF 145.825 mhz again? Guess they have the radio, just a matter of when they are going to do it?

Problem getting digipeated via SIS and PSAT
Hi
Names Cris and recently been getting more into saterlites and APRS Via sats.
Have had a bit of success with recieving aprs beacons and even got a couple of messages back form PSAT and an OE station but just can't seem to get digipeats over ISS or PSAT.
Every thing works fine over terrestrial but adding ARISS and other paths just dont seem to work and would appreciate a few pointers.
Using a MK 1 Yaesu VX 8R and Elk antenna.
Been over all the settings and just can't think why I am not being heard.
Any advice appreciated..

ISS not heard past 3 days 3/4/2017
Anyone know why the UHF digitpeater has not been active on the ISS? The reboost has been done and I think the supply vessels are not an issue right now so.... any one know?
