Below is the General Communications Plan that ANSR follows.
Talk-in frequency used prior to launch and tracking team coordination during flight (when the ANSR cross-band repeater is not available) is the Sacaton Peak repeater, 447.725/442.725 MHz 100.0 Hz CTCSS tone. Traffic on the cross-band input can inhibit the beacon activity from the payload computer, therefore it is recommended an alternate simplex frequency be used in the critical minutes prior to and during payload landing and recovery.
Our mobile cross band digi-peater will repeat the 445.950MHz APRS data to the 144.390 MHz national standard APRS frequency and subsequently I-Gated to the Internet for out-of-area trackers.
Payload frequency plan:
