Hi all,
the beacon was heard by Robert in Hawaii - very low batteries and the heater is on.
18.08.2008 20:29UTC FF080008180000210000900001 --------------------------------------------------- Solar Cell Voltage 5.00 V Solar Panel 6 Cur 50.20 mA Solar Panel 2 Cur 0.00 mA Solar Panel 3 Cur 150.59 mA Solar Panel 4 Cur 50.20 mA Solar Panel 5 Cur 0.00 mA EPS Reset Counter 0 Power Level Critical Battery Capacity Heater Active Battery Heater ON Power Safe Counter 0 Emergency Mode Counter 0 Battery Voltage 2.82 V Battery Current 0.00 mA Battery Temperature 1 °C
At this point it is very important to switch off the heater to charge the batteries. Hopefully we are on the right way...
Thank you for your support!
73, Mike DK3WN
