Hello,
since about two weeks I do not receive any telemetry signals from UKUBE-1 at 145.915 MHz. AO-73 on 145.935 MHz is still strong in daytimes and ISS on 145.850 MHz also strong. So RX, antenna and preamp working well on my site ...
Is the beacon output of UKUBVE-1 set to low power or is the beacon off?

It looks like it was on this morning at 0909 UTC, running 69.6 mW.
See the FUNcube Data Warehouse for UKube-1 here: http://warehouse.funcube.org.uk/realtimefc2.html;jsessionid=CFD60F2A5E8E6CCD...
The FUNcube-2 beacon has been on very infrequently over the past few weeks. Remember that the UK Space Agency is the owner of the satellite and there are many other payloads on board that they have been operating.
