Thank you Christophe. I see from the web site that users do not need a CTCSS tone to access the transponder. How is it accessed? Does it operate with a squelch system + timer?Presumably a continuous transmission would discharge the battery fairly rapidly. 73 David G0MRF

Dear The LATMOS team has programmed the UVSQ-SAT satellite to go into transponder mode on Sunday, September 12, 2021 starting at 12:00 UTC. The transponder will be active during 11 consecutive hours. From September 11th 12:00 UTC, an ASCII message will be broadcast to announce that the transponder mode will be activated. To decode the message, you can use the UVSQ-SAT Decoder software: ApplicationUVSQsatDecoder/src/site/markdown/UserManual.md · 21-ecr-uvsqsat · xtof / JOSAST · GitLab (electrolab.fr) Frequencies used :
- Telemetry :
- 437.020 MHz - BPSK - GR3UH 9k6
- FM Transponder :
- Uplink frequency: 145.905 MHz - Downlink frequency: 437.020 MHz More information on the satellite: UVSQsat (amsat-f.org) and project : UVSQ-SAT (ipsl.fr) 73's
