Hi Tim,
i think MixW isn't very useful for decoding CP4 telemetry. You can't see the
real byte values with MixW (only ASCII chars).
There are two ways to get the telemetry:
1. Use MixW with option TNC emulation (needs an driver to loop back on serial
ports) -> see MixW documentation
2. Use an TNC in KISS mode an log the incoming data to a file
It's not so easy to get the right frequency because CP4 is jumping around some
times. If you use an TNC you must be very fast to adjust the correct receiving
frequency. CP4 is sending a short CW sequence before the telemetry. Tune you
receiver at this moment so that the audio frequency of this cw signal is
2200Hz.. The following two beacons should be now decoded with your TNC.
If you record the beacons you can play around with MixW. There is an option -
Custum AFSK - where you can set the two AFSK frequencies manually.
73, Mike

On Saturday at 9:05 am (0805 GMT) the Delfi-C3 team will be giving
presentations on their exciting new satellite at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium being
held at the University of Surrey, Guildford, England July 25-27th.
Thanks to the BATC the presentations will be streamed live via the Internet to
a worldwide audience. This free service can be viewed at http://www.batc.tv/
Later that day at 11:30 am (1030 GMT) there will be two presentations from
AMSAT-DL. These will be on the eagerly awaited P3E High Earth Orbiting
satellite and the pioneering Mars Orbiter P5A. This will be the first private
venture spacecraft to travel to the Red Planet providing Radio Amateurs with
some true low distance signals to receive.
For further details see http://www.uk.amsat.org/Colloquium/

Travel information: http://www.uk.amsat.org/content/view/23/52/
A site map showing location of the Management Building and the adjacent main
car park and conference visitors parking can be seen at

New for 2008, it has been arranged with the University for "walkin" day
visitors for ?10 per day. For this, you do not get any meals, only attendance
at lectures/beginners sessions. It does not entitle you to any other of the
functions. There is no need to book, just turn up on the day. It would help if
you could let us know in advance if you intend using this facility, please

Jason,
At the bottom in Step 6, almost a footnote, of your excellent step-by-step
on how to configure MixW, there is a mention of a DataDecoder program. Is
that available for download?

Hi folks, nothing again. My passes were not very good though so maybe on the
84 degree pass friday I may catch something. I am using a pk 96 with a yaesu
ft 8100 and mixw/pacterm 99. I have a 18 element klm for the 435.225
downlink with right or left hand pole. Using left hand for go-32 like before
(energized) Tracking with satscape/jtrack/ and heavens above. I use to be
able to bring it in everyday almost and we also had a satgate running from a
Canada Station VE3KPG using go-32 for msg traffic hooked to our terristal
packet network. Sure hope someday another sat will take its place and run
for us. The ACP that they are building on the next sat seems way out of most
of everyones price pocket. So I hope they don't decide to do that. We want
to be able to use the gear we allready have. (that cost us a arm and leg
allready). Anyway will keep trying to reach go-32. (the only one out there
working, in reach I think)

Hello all,
I have closed the survey. Thanks to the 164 people who took the survey.
The results give rather clear insight regarding your operating
preferences and should be helpful in future AMSAT "stategic" decisions.
I'm going to link you to the actual SurveyGizmo results page so you can
see the data compiled and see the results without any comment from me.
But because I didn't format the graph text narrative more clearly, I'll
need to help you understand it.
Question 3 - The data shows "W" which stand for worldwide satellite
coverage. "A" stands for coverage of the America's and Canada
Question 5 - "INFO" is "need more information"
Question 6 - "NO2" is NO - I'M NOT INTERESTED IN THIS MODE OF OPERATION
and "NO" is NO - I DON'T HAVE ANTENNA RESTRICTIONS.
The rest of the graph text should be clear.
Here's the link:
http://app.sgizmo.com/reports/18952/48864/4G6MMZP08F5CHHRFD5IFKRUG0SX47H/
I hope it works properly. Let me know if it doesn't.
Thanks again for your time in taking the survey.
Regards...Bill - N6GHz
