Hi All,

  I found it very hard to use mostly because I couldn't hear the downlink
reliably enough to know whether I was successful or not.  Also, the lack of
others using the mode made it harder to tune in the downlink.  All of this
was in high power mode using a TH-D7A HT which isn't the most optimal setup
for this operation.

I'm curious as to what others used for settings to get into AO-51 in this
mode with the TH-D7A.  I have to turn off and turn on the HT to get it to
transmit in the full duplex mode AO-51 operates,

Here's the setting on my HT:

2-1: KA9SCF
2-2: NOT USED
2-3: OFF
2-4: <My position>
2-5: OFF
2-6: In Service
2-7: 2500mi
2-8: <Jogger>
2-9: <My status message>
2-A: 1/1
2-B: PACB-1
2-C: MANUAL
2-D: 30min
2-E: APRS
2-F: MINE
2-G: ENTIRE DISP
2-H: mile
2-I: F
2-J: OFF
2-K: <My reply message>
2-L: ALL,QST,CQ,KWD,TCPIP,*
2-M: A:TX B:RX
2-N: 9600bps
2-O: UTC - 6:00
2-P: 300ms

73 de Pat --- KA9SCF.
