There are only a few others that use the single letters that I can think of:

K was 15m up, 10m down
T was 15m up, 2m down

The current convention is to use the uplink and downlink bands in a two 
letter combo with the uplink capitalized. Mode B would be U/v, J is V/u. 
AO-40 operated primarily in LU/s in this format.
The laminated AMSAT frequency guides have the new mode on them, as well as 
the old designation.

A=10m
H=15m
V=2m
U=70cm
L=23cm
S=13cm
C=6cm
X=3cm
K=1.5cm

Hope that helps.

Where can I find a current listing of satellite modes by band?

I searched the AMSAT.ORG web site but could not find a list.

I found an old FAQ from 1994 but it only has a half-dozen modes listed.

I want something like this:

    Mode A - 2m up / 10m down
    Mode B - 70cm up / 2m down
    Mode J - 2m up / 70 cm down

I'm trying to help debug some logging software with ARRL LoTW and want
to make sure we have it all right.

Thanks & 73 - Jim AD1C
