Notes:

1. The modes in ( ) are the new designations to be instituted with Phase 3D.

2. The AO-10 beacon is an unmodulated carrier. This satellite has suffered computer damage making it impossible to orient it for optimum service or solar illumination. It may mot be present for weeks at a time and may also disappear suddenly, apparently when it enters darkness. In order to preserve it as long as possible, do not transmit to it when you hear the beacon or the transponded signals FMing.

3. RS-10 and its backup RS-11, and RS-12 and its backup RS-13 are each mounted on common spaceframes, along with communication and navigation packages. RS-11 &13 are currently turned off. All of these packages have the capability of being operated in modes A, K, & T, with modes K & T running simultaneously.

4. Transmitters on both AO-16 & LU-19 are currently using Raised Cosine Mode.

5. AO-16 users are encouraged to select 145.900, 145.920 and 145.940 for uploading and 145.960 for directory and/or file requests.

6. DOVE is designed to transmit digital voice messages but, due to hardware and software difficulties, it has not yet met this objective.

7. Letters in [ ] represent digital formats, which are as follows:
[a] = 1200 bps PSK AX-25
[b] = 1200 bps AFSK AX-25
[c] = 9600 bps PSK
[d] = digital voice
