Okay guys Thanks. Some how I thought the linear transponder was on days on the weekend. I did hear the data transmission, said to say, I did not know how to tune it on my PSK 31 program. It was very stong. Think it is SSB. One day I will get it right! Thanks all. R W4BUE _

Download the FUNcube Dashboard to decode the telemetry. It is a SSB transmission. http://funcube.org.uk/working-documents/funcube-telemetry-dashboard/ At times, the control ops in the UK may command the linear transponder on for daytime passes on the weekends, but they have not done that yet.
