Re: SO-50, SO-50, Where Art Thou SO-50 ...
How very interesting and thanks for the replies.
I understand that 50 is a weak signal unit and that a yagi antenna will cut the mustard.
However that's outside my effort budget and I really don't

Re: SO-50, SO-50, Where Art Thou SO-50 ...
I have worked SO-50 very successfully and very often with an Arrow II LEO hand held antenna.
SO-50 may not be the most simple satellite to work, but it is certainly not the most difficult either.

Re: SO-50, SO-50, Where Art Thou SO-50 ...
Mike,
You need to transmit a 74.4 Hz tone for 2 seconds to activate SO-50. Then it’s active for 10 minutes and can be accessed using the 67.0 Hz tone.
If you’re in an RF noisy environment, SO-50

Tips please on how to reliably work SO-50. I have not heard it here in ZL, is there a beacon?
I understand the bird has to be armed before use, how does one do this?
I am using an Icom ID-51A Plus2

Strange there is no information on Sean’s QRZ nor Congressman DeSaulnier’s web page regarding the newly developed app other than what you describe.
Can’t find anything on Google
