The live status of PSAT2 is easy to see on http://aprs.org/sats.html select the link to the Telemetry-Last-24hrs And you can see the status just minutes ago.:
20190810 182731,PSAT2-1>APOFF...:T#060,704,041,910,741,162,11010001 The status bits tell you left to right: 1 = DTMF Grid Reporting is on 1 = Always on 0 = internal use 1 = DTMF Messages are on 0 = PSK31 and SSTV Camera are on (note, inverted) 0 = Digipeater is OFF 0 = APRS-to-Voice is off 1 = Internal use
This condition will remain until we get enough users to assess the DTMF modes. We invite people to play. Lots of new and different modes. With DTMF messages now on, one can QSL a grid report and make a 2way contact.
