Hi Gould,

Thank for that, I have looked at that page before, but its the actual decoding that I cannot seem to do.. I cannot quickly turn my TNC on when I am in voice mode, hence I though i could translate the recording so to speak..

Just for reference, I can only use my TH-D7 portable as I have no room for antennas at home..

thanks,

Chris

Hello Chris,

Here is the information on logging and reporting the telemetry for AO-27.

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how to decode the telemetry from AO27?

I have tried to use MIXW in Packet mode and RTTY mode, but all I seem to get is the date and nothing else? I even tried to feed it through AGWE to see if that would work.. I use AO27 all the time and use a minidisc recorder to record my passes, and always capture the telem data at the end.. it would be good if someone could help me out on this one?

Thanks,

Chris

Hi Chris,

I think it's impossible the receiving of TLM without a TNC (hardware).

I tried also with "standalone" 1200Bps AFSK softwares for packet radio (like MIXW etc) without success.

And yes, the TLM is "ON" just for a few seconds at the beginning (and at the end) of each "active" pass.

Hi,

You can analyze this AO-27 telemetry (KISS frames) and you see the simple structure

1 Byte channel number + 1 Byte channel value (starting with Channel nr 07)

AO-27 is similar to IO-26 (or the other microsats AO-16 ... AO-19).

If someone of the AO-27 team could check this?
