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.

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.
