RE: [amsat-bb] TO-31 Signal levels

TO-31 power output is roughly the same as the other 9600bd satellites.  In
full sunlight, it puts out 2W and has a very good signal.

I tried to work a pass of TO-31 this evening, and I copied almost no signal.
I just put my pacsat ground station back in service, so I checked pre-amp
operation, antenna SWR, etc. With just a cursory check, my equipment seems
to be functioning normally. I'm using Hy-gain twist yagis and an Icom 820
transceiver (with Icom preamps).

My question for the group is, does TO-31 have lower output power than say
KO-25?

The investigation continues...

P.S. Is there any guess as to when TechSat will be open for amateur use?
