Paul and I hooked up on FUNcube-2/UKube-1 during the 17:15 UTC pass. That was my first contact on this bird.
Unlike AO-73, I found the transponder uplink to be stable during the pass, changing only a few hundred hertz beyond Doppler corrections, so I was able to use full UL/DL Doppler correction, always hearing my downlink. In the case of my IC-9100, I found the uplink to be 14.3 KHz higher than specified.
My UL corrected Doppler.sqf file for SatPC32 contains the following entries for CW, Voice, and Telemetry:
UKUBE-1,145940,435084.6,CW,CW,REV,0,0,CW UKUBE-1,145940,435084.3,USB,LSB,REV,0,0,Voice U/V UKUBE-1,145915,,USB,,,,TLM

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.

Now that the transponder is switched on will it be on 24/7 or does it
shift
to data
