So with the patience of Christy, KB6LTY, I finally had my first contact over AISAT today. I guess for the reasons talked about by others here, it is difficult (or impossible) to decode packets from this sat, at least on my TS2Kx running UZ7HO soundmodem and UISS. However, I did figure out that by putting the rx into NBFM mode, and fine tuning the sat downlink, I can now decode. Im not sure if the sat can digipeat a NBFM signal it receives, so I have been toggling the tx from NBFM to WBFM. SATPC's default for tx is NBFM if I put the rx in that mode. Next step is to modify the Doppler file to see if it will handle entry of NBFM for the rx mode only. Otherwise it's all manual.

I welcome any other suggestions for decoding this sat's downlink.
