EO-80 and EO-88 have similar names. Simply based on that, seeing one
might remind you of the other.

Perhaps that wasn't it though...

Regardless, the answer to the original question is on amsat.org

"Additionally, the satellite carries a AMSAT-F constructed repeater as
a return favor for support of the use of the amateur bands for the
primary QB50 mission. Unfortunately the primary transceiver was
damaged during a test of the repeater, and the repeater is power
negative. Further activation of the repeater is unlikely at this
time."
