When ISS is in packet mode it is easily the loudest and most reliable 
satellite digi left on 145.825.  When on, it is normally in 1200 baud mode.
Check when it has been heard recently:  http://ariss.net/

PCSAT-1 sometimes blurts a 1200 baud packet after it has been 
illuminated for a while, and occasionally charges up to the point where 
it can digipeat complete packets.  Unfortunately it hasn't been able to 
stay in packet mode for a complete orbit and serve as a reliable digi 
for several months now.
