Charlie and David,
Thanks for the pointers. I've found a couple of things to tweak based on your messages.
I'm using the S.A.T. tracker box so I don't have SQF files - but I've tweaked it's satellite frequency there so I'm hoping I'll be closer to the frequency.
I'm using my Greencube setup where the IC-9700 received USB-D audio goes into the UZ7HO soundmodem then the OZ9AAR terminal. I hope that I'm not too far off track substituting the FoxTelem software configuration in place of the Greencube software configuration.
Let's see what happens after a few MESAT1 passes,

I am using a Flex 6600M with Q5 Xvrtrs. Here is what I’m using for MESAT1 telemetry.
I am using a download frequency of *435798.5*. You should use USB (DIGIU on the Flex) Make an entry using this downlink frequency in your Doppler.SQF file, and restart SatPC32. Make sure you are using DAX *Audio *RX1, not DAX IQ.
In the telemetry software, I also checked the box “find signal” (I /think/ this might be AFC) Make sure you also check the box to upload data.
I have successfully captured data from 8 passes.
The satellite isn’t real strong, but it has been improving. The best passes here in EM79 have been early mornings (before I wake up hi hi) but I had success with that setup.
YMMV,

I appreciate knowing I'm in good company, JoAnne.
Yes, I get roughly 10 seconds transmitted every two minutes. I hear it 3 or 4 times in a pass. I keep trying different modes in FoxTelem, but nothing locks up. -- Mark D. Johns, KØJM AMSAT Ambassador & News Service Editor Brooklyn Park, MN USA EN35hd

> If anyone else out there is successfully using a similar setup, I'd like to hear from you off list. It would be OK to reply on the list also. I've been listening with an IC-9700 w/ LEO pack and FoxTelem software. I've also been hearing strong signals but so far decoding nothing. If I am indeed hearing MESAT1 then a single ~5-10 second burst of data once per pass hasn't helped with testing my setup - and fixing things that need attention. Decoding prior Fox satellites with FoxTelem has been pretty straigtforward. -- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM joanne.k9jkm@gmail.com BM DMR TG 98006 ----------------------------------------------------------- Sent via AMSAT-BB(a)amsat.org <http://amsat.org/>.
