[amsat-bb] Re: SATPC32 ISS Showing weird operation

[Greg D.]

You might also check to be sure that you're not being digipeated by somebody terrestrial (perhaps a local igate that's also playing digi).  If you can still digipeat off the ISS when it's over, say, India, it's not just a matter of old Keps.
