Re: MO-122 transponder off around 0110 utc 12 Oct 2024

12 Oct 2024

      Some observations which may help others for better decodingI noticed during last pass (tele. 81 degrees, strong Rx) that:
1) To get the best Rx I had to switch polarisation often indicating that the bird is tumbling or spinning a lot, playing with polarisation from RHCP/DHCP does help a lot,
2) Slight adjustments using RIT also makes a difference, may be the Keps (using nasabare.txt/SatPC32).
Just for info

Hi Mark,
Well noted and I will try to collect a max. of TLMon this side of the planet which may help accessing the battery health.
Good pass right now.

Hi folks,
I’ll be turning off the transponder for a few days so we can learn more about its battery. The telemetry beacon should remain on, so all frames collected are always appreciated!
