Well, it appears that the satellite did a reset just as it came in range here (EM12dl). My TLM start at MET 10, which was just after I heard the "strange noises" I hastily put in an email hoping that others might grab a listen. I have not witnessed a reset while monitoring, so perhaps that's what it sounds like. Some ticks, some strange telemetry tones, CW beacon underneath the tones, then the usual telemetry sound and data.
So the reset would have been in full sunlight, not a good sign I would suppose. Unfortunately, the telemetry frame I was hearing right before the reset the bird was not in range long enough to have captured it all, or perhaps it quit in the middle of it anyway.
