Thanks Chris!
I had good copy on the beacon and decodes were flowing nicely during the Saturday morning pass. My camera tab on FoxTelem shows a few lines of the image. I'll hope for stronger signals later today.
The higher power and continuous transmission made final tweaks a lot easier :-)
Also on the IC-9700 I found that I've got use the MAIN RX (and not the SUB RX) for FoxTelem to get the data. I use 435.798 as the initial frequency as N8MH had recommended previously.

The MESAT-1 team are continuing to test and commission the satellite. It is currently in Health Mode transmitting continuously and the downlink power is now about 6dB higher. So it should be easier to hear and decode. If you have had trouble decoding it then now is a good time to try again.
You may have seen some data from the on board Multispectral Camera Saturday morning. This was test data as part of the commissioning process. The team will attempt to capture and transmit new science data on the 01:53 UTC and 12.25 UTC passes over North America tonight and tomorrow.
