I also heard packet also on 145.825 today around 0900z - didn't get a chance to put the decoder on it either, but I thought it was the ISS, as that is what passed over at the time here. I didn't think to check out DO17, however there was quite a bit of transmission time.

Hello Paolo,
I am certain sure that DO-17 hasn't transmitted anything for several years, and it is extremely unlikely to do so any time in the future.
That's a pretty popular downlink frequency---start capturing those packets and you'll figure out which bird is sending them.

Hello, is it possible that Dove oscar 17 DO-17 is still alive? Today I've tried to monitor it at 145.825 and I've received 2 packets from the telemetry. Unfortunately I had not the packet decoder switched on and I'm not sure.
DO-17 was the first satellite that I've received in 1991!!
