[amsat-bb] Problem found with FT817ND: No luck with FM birds, despite repeated efforts

[Adrian Engele]

I am away from my radio for the weekend. Did you check the correct tone is set in the menu for 70cm. I vaguely remember some settings are not global but band specific. Just a thought.

The rig is NOT putting out a CTCSS tone on 70 cm.  I used a VX6R to test
this (thanks Paul S for the suggestion).  I can confirm a tone is being
transmitted on 2 meters, because it breaks the squelch on the VX6R.  When I
transmit on 70 cm, the squelch is not broken on the VX6R.

Anyone else using an FT817ND that I can email with, offboard, regarding
setup?  I am not able to hear my downlink on AO-85 or SO-50 with the 67 Hz
tone enabled.  I must be doing something wrong.
