It's about the same time span since I last logged packets, too.? The
digi is turned off for all manner of ISS activities such as docking
operation and numerous station tasks including spacewalks. I've
known it to be missing for much longer time spans than 11 days. NASA
used to publish daily work schedules which listed when ham gear was
being turned off (and back on again) but I can't find those
schedules with a quick look online.
Someone else suggested the gear is off because there may not be a
ham onboard. I'm unaware of that ever being the case, given that the
APRS digi is licenced as a remote (unattended) station by both US
and Russian authorities. At least that's my understanding, but I'm
happy to learn if I'm wrong.

Greetings, does anyone have insight into the current status of the
ISS digipeater?
indicates the "Service Module radio" as configured and functional,
yet the "Station List" at
shows no traffic for the past 11+ days, nor have I heard anything
here. The Kenwood TK-762GH radio with CM108 is both Tx/Rx on
145.825 MHz.
I thought direwolf 1.8D might be malfunctioning, but it works
properly on 144.390 MHz.
Can anyone verify ISS digipeater functionality, please?
