BTW- I'm currently trying for SO-50, AO-91/AO92 and the ISS repeater. If there are any other 'Easy' sats that cant be worked currently, do tell.

I have found my Baofeng HT even with the squelch opened up does not seem to receive at all. Which seems strange to me because I see videos of people using them successfully. I have heard they are hit and miss though.

This is a known problem with the Baofeng radios.   See this:

An outboard filter might help.

Matt285:
Yeah. I'm just going to stick with the Yaesu.

Thanks for the link!

So I figured out one of the biggest problems I was having. ISS and AO-92 (The main sats I've been after have not been online very often) Once I realized this I concentrated on AO-91 and SO-50 and have heard activity there. I was going a bit crazy trying to figure out where I had gone wrong. I also heard that AO-27 is active, but haven't had the chance to try it yet. The AMSAT status page is very helpful. I wasted my time not knowing the status. Oh well, lesson learned.
