All,
Here are some DOPPLER.SQF values for the upcoming launch. They were done from the initial release of frequencies and other than a cursory check with SatPC32 are obviously unverified. Please let me know of any typos or changes you find.

If the pre-launch kep's are correct and the launch is on time, the very first orbit will come right over the US starting at 0006 UTC 19/9/2015 Lot's to listen for .

Dave,
That is the way I see it also. The first pass will be only 7-deg for me, but I plan on trying the "XW-2A" cas-3a transponder. Hope they are turned on.

If the pre-launch kep's are correct and the launch is on time, the very first orbit will come right over the US starting at 0006 UTC 19/9/2015 Lot's to listen for .
Does anyone know if the XW-2 transponders are supposed to be activated immediately after launch, or will there be a period of days/weeks before activation?

Red,
I received a note from Alan, BA1DU to monitor the telemetry of the satellites XW-2A through F. It is the custom for satellites to follow a commissioning process before the transponder is opened for amateur use and unless otherwise told that will be the case with these satellites.

Any idea on software to do any decoding?

Dave,
Alan, BA1DU, mentioned that he will provide the decoding software very soon, he may not want to jinx anything.
