Hi all
Has anyone been able to copy the XW- F satellite via 9600 or 19200 baud FSK and GMSK?
If yes please which program to use? I am trying with the Funcube Dongle Pro Plus and UZ7HO Soundmodem program. I get a strong signal from the satellites but nothing decode. Any help will be really appreciated.

Hi all,
I've tested again the SDR recordings I did of the XW-2 satellites back in the days when they were launched. These were quick and dirty recordings, so the signal is not very good many times.
I've been able to decode plenty of 9600bps packets from XW-2D using direwolf. I haven't been able to decode any packets from the rest of the satellites, but that's probably because the signals were not good enough and had QSB.
If anyone wants to test decoders, you can use the following file, which comes from my recording of XW-2D and for me produces many decodes using direwolf (I haven't tested other programs).

Having failed to copy ANY 9600 baud satellites with my Kenwood TS-2000 and 9600 baud SCS modem, I decided to try a Funcube Dongle instead. Needless to say, the Funcube worked and I was able to copy XW-2F's down link using UZ7HO's 9600 baud G3RUH Soundmodem.
That made me take a closer look at the Kenwood TS-2000 / SCS Modem setup and, low and behold, I found that the data rate for the external TNC was set at 1200 baud instead of 9600. For those TS-2000 users, this setting is found in Menu item 50F.
I'm hoping this is the only setup parameter I missed. I don't know of any 9600 baud terrestrial links or PBBS near my location so I'll have to wait till the next 9600 bird comes along.
