Lately, I've been trying other FM satellites besides SO-50. I have made
contacts on AO-92, but I can't get anything from AO-85. 

On AO-85 I can hear the voice ID of the satellite plain as day, but I
never hear any other hams trying to make contacts and I can't seem to
get into the satellite.  

My set up is two Baofeng handhelds and an Arrow antenna. This set up
works fine on SO-50 and AO-92 so I know that it works. 

For AO-85 I'm using 435.170 for the uplink and 145.980 for the downlink.
I have the uplink sending the 67.0 Hz tone. 

So, what am I missing? Constructive tips would be very much appreciated.
