Re: [amsat-bb] Fox -1B / AO-91 in trouble?

30 Apr 2019

      Looks much better all right.  If cycling the  IHU fixed it, that does imply
it was an IHU problem, although we could have guessed that the tx was ok,
since we were getting telemetry ok.  Since the IHU cycled ok, that implies
that it was not the program memory.  Given that we got telemetry in idle
and for a few seconds after the transponder went off, that means a lot of
stuff was ok.  I'm guessing that probably some bits got flipped in the data
for the software high pass filter, which would explain why there was trash
in what should have been the telemetry audio frequency band (below 200Hz).

I cycled the power to the IHU and it popped right back the way it should
be.
Should be fine now, but reports for the next day or two will be
appreciated.

My first pass is just after noon. If it hasn't self-corrected by then, I'll
try a reset.

Hans,
Looks like if it IDs, the signal is normal and you get the usual 2
telemetry
frames.  If the transponder has been brought up, you get the odd signal,
with a brief switch to DUV at the end, but no telemetry.  The command staff
have been notified.
