I'm happy to report that I was able to pick up 11 frames of data, my first, for FUNcube-2/UKube-1. As Paul, N8HM, reported, it is loud, even with the transponder turned on.
Now I need to figure out how to have all these birds exist in SatPC32 -- this is #12 for me and its a full house!
I'll try the transponder on CW next pass, about 17:12 UTC

The FUNcube-2 telemetry beacon is also on and very strong. It has been on continuously since yesterday. I've worked it on both day and night passes.
There was what appeared to be a reset on the first pass this afternoon where the transponder switched off midpass for a few seconds.
In addition, the CW beacon from the satellite's primary transceiver desenses the transponder uplink for about 20 seconds or so when it's transmitting.
The uplink offset appears to be anywhere from +12 - +15 kHz from published.
