Does anyone have an SDR recording of CAS4A / CAS4B? I would like to try to
demodulate and decode the 4800 baud telemetry signals and see what they say.

Hi Douglas, all,
On the next passes over the south of western Europe, tomorrow
morning, I will record an i/q file and give you a link to download it
(caution : 1 mn ==> 100 MB).
Despite the fact that the two birds here never climbs very high above
the horizon, maybe 30 deg., the signal is very strong and the
demodulation of the 4800 bps GMSK telemetry very easy. During the pass,
you doesn't lose a frame.
Conditions : GPA + preamplifier in the attic, FCD-Pro+, Gqrx (SDR
prgm), Gpredict (Doppler shift tracking), DireWolf 1200/2400/4800/9600
bps FSK/GMSK demodulator).
Have a nice evening, 73 !

Yes, I do. Interestingly, I have not had any problems with FM in
either mode J or B. The other day I worked AO-85 successfully, and
immediately switched to EO-79, 2m SSB downlink. I heard no telemetry
or anything else. Then I pointed the antenna over towards some nearby
powerlines, which normally create a lot of annoying static on 2m -
nothing heard. I removed the coax from the 2m jack, and observed a
drop in the noise level (very slight), reconnected the coax and
checked over towards the power lines again, with the same result. I
wasn't hearing anything on 2m SSB, after I had, minutes before, had no
issues hearing on 2m FM.
I'm glad I have other radios to use in the meantime, while I try to
figure this out :-)

I listened in on the 18:48z? pass here in CM98 (I think that was the
time), and heard both satellites easily using object 42758 / 2017-034A
keps. Seemed pretty close.
CAS-4A's beacon might be a few khz low in frequency. I was in USB mode
with a dial frequency of 145.850 at the end of the pass, and the beacon
was coming through at about 1khz on the audio. I would think it should
have been closer to 145.852 or so, as 2m doppler is usually +/- 2.5 khz.

Hi folks,
AO73/FUNcube is now in amateur mode for the weekend with the transponder on!
Please see below for all FUNcube mission info
73s Graham G3VZV and the FUNcube team.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
FUNcube frequencies and other details
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
AO-73 FUNcube-1
The transponder is normally operational only when the satellite is in
eclipse, ie the solar panels are NOT being illuminated. During weekends
(from pm Fridays UTC to PM Sundays UTC) the transponder is operational 24/7.
When the transponder is switched off, the telemetry beacon is on full power,
when the transponder is on the beacon it is on low power. During holidays,
eg Christmas, New Year, Easter, etc, the transponder maybe activated for
extended periods. Watch AMSAT-BB for announcements which are usually made on
Friday evenings (UTC)
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.150 - 435.130 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.950 - 145.970 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.935 MHz BPSK
(The passband may be up to 15kHz higher depending on on-board temps. Lower
temperatures give higher freqs!)
FUNcube-2 (aka FUNcube on UKube)
The FUNcube-2 sub-system continues to operate autonomously and, almost
continuously, in amateur mode. The transponder is operational and the
telemetry downlink is functioning with about 70mW output. The FUNcube-1
Dashboard does not correctly display the telemetry but it does correctly
decode the data and uploads it to the FUNcube Data Warehouse from where it
can be examined. Most of the real time data channels are operational and
these include battery voltages, temperatures and ADCS data coming via the
main On Board Computer (OBC).
The transponder is interrupted for a few seconds every 2 minutes when the
other transmitter sends its CW beacon and, occasionally, for a few seconds
when the main OBC reboots (approx seven times each orbit).
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.080 - 435.060 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.930 - 145.950 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.915 MHz BPSK
(The passband may be up to 10kHz higher depending on on-board temps. Low
temperatures give higher freqs!)
EO79 FUNcube-3
Due to power budget constraints the transponder cannot be operational 24/7
and an orbit specific schedule has been developed. The transponder will
commence operation 27 minutes after the spacecraft enters sunlight and will
stay on for a period of 25 minutes. This schedule may be modified in future
months as a result of experience.
The nominal transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.0723-435.0473 MHz LSB (Inverting)
Downlink: 145.946-145.971 MHz USB
Further detailed info on EO79 transponder frequencies is at:
https://amsat-uk.org/2016/11/10/eo79-funcube-3-transponder-commences-regular-o
peration/
EO88/Nayif-1/FUNcube-5
EO88 is presently operating in autonomous mode. The transponder is
operational when the satellite is in eclipse, ie the solar panels are NOT
being illuminated.
When the transponder is switched off, the telemetry beacon is on full power,
when the transponder is on the beacon it is on low power.
The transponder frequencies are:
Uplink: 435.045 ? 435.015 MHz LSB (inverting)
Downlink: 145.960-145.990 MHz USB
Telemetry Tx: 145.940MHz
All FUNcube transponders are sponsored by AMSAT-UK and AMSAT-NL. We are very
grateful for the assistance given by Innovative Solution In Space Bv, The
Netherlands.

Thank you for the details on these new satellites, Alan.
Signals on the telemetry frequencies from both satellites are extremely
strong.
Is there any information available on what the AX.25 4.8k Baud GMSK
Telemetry streams contain, or how to decode the data?
Thanks very much!

Sorry it took me so long to zip & upload the IQ recording from Friday
morning U.S. time, Douglas.
If anyone has not had a pass from the new CAS-4A or 4B satellites yet, feel
free to download a PCM-16 IQ wav file of the pass from:
http://www.qsl.net/k/k4kdr//files/HDSDR_20170616_103700Z_145735kHz_RF--cas4a-b
.zip
... for anyone not completely familiar with SDR's yet, this is not an audio
.wav file, but an "IQ" wav file suitable for replaying in SDR software.
Comes in very handy for testing decoders or sharing like this between people
so we can benefit from others' big antennas, geographical location, or lack
of sleep!
I certainly hope the voice transponder has a signal as strong as these 4k8
telemetry streams. This file was recorded unattended using a 2m X-Quad (no
pre-amp) to an SDRPlay SDR. However, after seeing the signal on the screen,
you might be able to receive it with a coat hanger.
Instead of downloading my recording and playing it back yourself, if anyone
would just like to see the signal and volume of data being downloaded, I put
up a short video at:

Hi Douglas, all!
I'm late as Scott just shared his full pass excellent i/q file and
nice video.
If this can help, I recorded only 50 secondes of the last pass over
western Europe (orbit nr 32) so that the files don't become too large.
A 32-bit floating point raw i/q file (for Gqrx, etc...):
http://f5yg.pagesperso-orange.fr/incoming/CAS-4A_20170617_orb32.raw
The same one translated in a PCM 16-bit wav file (for SDR#, etc...):
http://f5yg.pagesperso-orange.fr/incoming/CAS-4A_20170617_orb32.wav
The full 199 frames of this 50 seconds record (text hexa):

And the sound of space with the CW telemetry (mp3):

Have a nice w.-e.!
