Anyone put together software to decode the XW-1 beacon yet? Sorry if someone already mentioned .. Still reading thru my emails.. Lots of TTT .. Is that normal? Oh and is china interested in emails with received telemetry?

Software? For receiving CW? Here is a link for telemetry decoding:

The CW looks like a contest numbering :)

Each telemetry channel encodes a 3-character value. "TTT" represents a telemetry value of 000, which would be normal for certain circumstances... when the Channel 2 telemetry value is 000, it indicates that only the beacon is operating (most of the time, for now). When the transponders are not operating, it is normal for the telemetry channels associated with them (7 - 13) to read 000. The telemetry format can be found here:

Hope this helps!
