New experience:
My last pass of today for ANDE-2 had only 8 degrees max. elevation.
And - my station did still decode 2 packets from Pollux !
During the day, with the higher elevation passes, RF link was not
alway much better (read, I just get normally a few more packets)
This is the same as yes
Cool ? Certainly !
Next step: connect an antenna to your 145 MHz FM radio and you're live.
Final step: insert your data in the APRS network and you help the team !

My station is running un-attended today (remotely operated).
- using object G
- freq: 145.827 (centered inbetween Castor & Pollux)
Result:
It decoded & Igated two Pollux packets during the recent, only 9 degrees, pass.
-->> better result as before so far

most scientific view on this :-) ?
Henk, PA3GUO
ps1: I took 145.827 as the middle between the two, based on Ken's observation.
ps2: I stripped the data parts from the telemetry below (for this discussion)

>>> Please note this is not a formal statement of the ANDE-2 owners <<<
My observation, confirmed by Mike, DK3WN, is that for best results
the following downlink frequencies should be assumed:
POLLUX: 145.826 MHz 1200 bd AFSK
CASTOR: 145.828 MHz 1200 bd

Hi Luc,
I modified my Cushcraft also (a different one though);
Most likely I violated many rules, but after the modification
I could also get AO51 at 435.150 instead of only 435.300 MHz.

Hi Andy,
This is not an official statement, maybe Ivan will prepare that in the coming
days.
Pollux seems to have flat (empty) batteries since Sept 12th.
In the days before the 12th the battery voltages dropped quickly.

Not sure if my problem was your problem. What you describe
is different, mine was simply stuck. Anyway, all these rotors
need some treatment :-) Mine worked fine since then (6 years now).

Hi,
Yesterday I uploaded a short (2 minute) video on YouTube
featuring our fantastic new satellite Hope-1 (XW-1, HO-68).
It features the launch, satelite and its various modes
of operation.

Dec 30th, 17:53 UTC 20 deg pass
During a low elevation pass, Mike DK3WN and Henk PA3GUO made
the very first SSTV contact via the HO-68 linear transponder.
A few images were transmitted between the two radio stations
in Germany and The Netherlands. Signals
A, EU/Afrika, ...)
Maybe we meet eachother via HO68 !
Maybe via SSTV ?

Since this news was not (yet) shared via this BB (as far as I am aware);
We do hear since a few days one of the ANDE-2 satellites again:
Castor (KD4HDO-1) transmits every 30 seconds an APRS telemetry
beacon at ~145.827 MHz.
For those with an accurate clock:
at ~28 and ~58 seconds in each minute.
Hi
The referred to article is mine: http://www.pa3guo.com/pll_unlock.html
When then the radio shows dots ".." and you hear a "U"
in morse code it is the (rara) PLL unlock issue.
Firmware update does not help
ps: Yahoo TS2000 groups have lot of info also
