skCUBE telemetry definitions
Can anyone point us to the telemetry decode coefficients/formulas for skCUBE? We are trying to help a high school intern at LASP figure out the values in the COMM packets which are sent every 30 seconds. He started out using those beacons to characterize the performance of the CU ground station in Fairbanks, AK, but now has moved on to trying to make sense of the data. The file he found online defines the source of the values in the packet but not how to turn the values into engineering values. Emails to the owners have not been answered.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Jim.
The values must be know, because there is a decoder available to download from DK3WN's site at:
http://www.dk3wn.info/p/?page_id=29535
... so if you don't get a better source of info, I'm sure Mike would help if you would like to email him ref. the formulas use in his app.

Hi Jim,
Try emailing Mike, DK3WN. He has values posted on his webpage..

Maybe he has the coefficients file or whatever you need? Maybe his software will help? Or maybe that's all you need... http://www.dk3wn.info/files/skcube_com.zip

We did get the values and a bit of additional info from Mike who was very helpful.
