Hi
There are also telemetry decoders available for various satellites on the Carpcomm website. For example:
http://carpcomm.com/satellite/fspace1 http://carpcomm.com/satellite/swisscube http://carpcomm.com/satellite/csswe http://carpcomm.com/satellite/horyu2
Just click "Submit data", enter the morse characters or hex data frame that you've received, and it will be decoded and the latest telemetry values will be displayed on the page for everyone to see. We're continuously working on adding decoders for all the new satellites.

Looks to me like the program will decode the packets right on the client software. Packets copied, decoded. Then, there's always the documentation on the web. Isn't this what you say isn't there?
What is so secret?

F-1’s AX.25 packet format Beacon Data format: No Data Description Size (bit) 1 Date time Date: dd/mm/y: 5/4/3=12 bits 29 Time: hh/mm/ss: 5/6/6=17 bits 2 Battery voltage Battery voltage multiplied by 100, divide by 100 to get actual value 11 3 Solar cells voltage Solar cells voltage multiplied by 10, divide by 10 to get actual value 8 4 Temperature 1 oC (side 1) 8 5 Temperature 2 oC (side 2) 8 6 Temperature 3 oC (side 3) 8 7 Temperature 4 oC (side 4) 8 8 Temperature 5 oC (side 5) 8 9 Temperature 6 oC (side 6) 8 10 Temperature 7 oC (inside solar cell) 8 11 Temperature 8 oC (onboard) 8 Total 112 bits = 14 bytes Note:
- Temperature reading from sensors, will be added with 100 before
transmission to ensure a positive number so please subtract 100 to get actual value
- 112 bits, divide to 14 chunks of 8bits, each chunk becomes one byte
- years beginning from 2012, current year = 2012 -> Y = 0

What you do with the data is totally up to you. Many of us help these teams and forward telemetry information to them. Some teams have developed special software to decode the data and allow us to actively monitor the status of the satellite and any experiments.
I'd love to get involved in that, and indeed I think a lot of the current thread was spawned by a discussion of tracking the F-1 sat. Unfortunately, there is only a Windows binary available of this software. I know amateur radio is a technical hobby, but I haven't the inclination to be a computer nerd as well, and I haven't the time, inclination or money to buy another computer and a copy of Windows and all the expensive training courses.
I do wonder if having the telemetry in an unpublished format counts as using a "secret code"?
