When placed in that mode, you transmit on FM voice, and listen on SSB (or I suppose AM would work too). We did this with AO-16 after the digital system gave up the ghost. It's a neat trick that has been integrated into some of the commercial cubesat radio systems. You'll see this on the Triton-1 sat in 3 or so months as well.

Sorry for a stupid question. Do you listen to FM-DSB with an FM or SSB receiver? Thanks

GAUSS have issued an update on the UniSat-5 mission, see
http://amsat-uk.org/2013/11/25/unisat-5-mission-update-november-24/
They mention that the SSTV PocketQube WREN team have detected what may be its 437.405 MHz downlink.
Possible Keps are:
WREN 1 39422U 13066G 13326.48861818 -.00000055 00000-0 00000+0 0 75 2 39422 097.8066 039.1177 0023760 211.9046 148.0730 14.86334042 151

ICUBE-1 is listed by IARU as having a BPSK beacon that has the capability of being reconfigured to a 435/145 FM-DSB transponder. http://amsat-uk.org/2013/11/24/foundation-radio-amateur-first-to-receive-icu...
