I forgot that one of the rigs here was on. It happened to be set for 145.825mHZ in FM. A few minutes ago the squelch was broken by what sounded like 1200BPS AFSK. It almost sounded like the old UOSATS. Checking my satellite tracking program I determined it wasn't CAPE-2, TRITON-1 or DELFIN3XT. What birds are up now that have downlinks on or around 145.825mHZ fm? Maybe I have a set of erroneous keps. Any information on this would be appreciated.

Yes, that was UO-11 Comes back to life every now and then and has a LOUD downlink on 145.825 but it is not AX.25 packet.

Maybe PCSAT / NO-44, object 26931. It's on 145.825, but the batteries are shot Sometimes has enough solar power to become active.

Very distinctive BEEbuzzbuzzbuzzbuzzBEEbuzzbuzzbuzzbuzz pattern, I've got a recording somewhere. Sounds very much like old BBC Micro tape loading sounds.
The Cape II sat has an output on 148.825 mhz beaconing in FM voice CE and 1200 baus ax.25 see ulcape.org
