Hi Henk,
What a huge signal from Grifex! It was 25 dB or so out of the noise. I used HDSDR with my original Funcube. HDSDR was feeding VAC to the UZ7HO modem software.
About the only text I saw in the clear was FM CQ to KD8SPS.
Antenna here is a KLM 40cx with SSB preamp.

For those that are bored with 1k2 from cubesats ..
GRIFEX (437.485) is this week sending data at 19k2 (FM).
Quite easy to decode using
- 16 element horizontal yagi
- SSB preamp + 10 meters Aircell coax
- FUNCube dongle (the old one)
- SDR# (on Windows 10)
- UZ7HO soundmodem (on Windows 10)
Remarkable to see how reliable & stable data download can be at higher speeds. With no new investment in equipment !
It may not be for many more days, so give it a try before it switches back to 9k6 (did you try that already?).
Henk, PA3GUO
