Hi Bob!
It is possible that the satellite had another glitch, like
with the passes earlier in the day. I was out for both of
those passes, and heard no FM voice on the 437.200 downlink.
I did copy telemetry on both 437.200 and 437.225, with longer
bursts on the 437.225 beacon than on the 437.200 beacon. I
had one of my tablets with an SDRplay receiver and HDSDR for
the 70cm downlinks, and an IC-2820H for the 2m uplink. Both
of these were connected through a diplexer to my Elk log
periodic. I was able to confirm one thing, despite the lack
of working FM repeater on these two passes... I could
transmit at 50W from the IC-2820H on 144.350 MHz, without
desenssing the SDRplay listening around the 437.200 and
437.225 MHz downlinks. The SDRplay has bandpass filtering
across its entire range, along with the diplexer that would
act as a bandpass filter as well. This is good to see,
confirming that the bandpass filter design in the SDRplay
worked well for that transmit power level (it has been
perfect for the 5W levels I've transmitted on other passes).
I will post the RF recordings from these two passes, with
the telemetry bursts from both downlinks, later tonight. These
recordings are smaller, around 300-350 MB each. I was hoping
that the repeater was on for either - or both - of these passes,
but at least I have an RF recording from each pass. Maybe
someone can take a look at them once I post them, and see if
any usable data can be extracted from them.
73!

Bob it's possible, all the XW-2 sats pass right over China before they hit
us so they could be turning the it on or off then.
I did copy telemetry at 437.2

Is it possible the transponder was only turned on for one pass?

All,
Last update to include DCBB. All 9 amateur radio satellites from the
CZ-6 launch
are now identified.
Using detailed doppler measurements I find the following identifications:
XW-2A is object 40903, 2015-049E, (other IDs: XiWang 2A, Hope 2A, CAS-3A).
XW-2B is object 40911, 2015-049N, (other IDs: XiWang 2B, Hope 2B, CAS-3B).
XW-2C is object 40906, 2015-049H, (other IDs: XiWang 2C, Hope 2C, CAS-3C).
XW-2D is object 40907, 2015-049J, (other IDs: XiWang 2D, Hope 2D, CAS-3D).
XW-2E is object 40909, 2015-049L, (other IDs: XiWang 2E, Hope 2E, CAS-3E).
XW-2F is object 40910, 2015-049M, (other IDs: XiWang 2F, Hope 2F, CAS-3F).
DCBB is object 40912, 2015-049P, (other ID: CAS-3G).
LilacSat 2 is object 40908, 2015-049K, (other ID: CAS-3H).
NUDT-PhoneSat is object 40900, 2015-049B, (other ID: CAS-3I).
The Long March 6 (CZ-6) third stage is now object 40913, 2015-049Q.
DCBB was ejected from its mother-satellite Xinjishu Yanzheng 2 on
September 20.
Some other subsatellites will be ejected from their mother-satellites
from the CZ-6
launch on October 20 or 21.

Message-ID: <5607C7F8.10501@xxxxxx.xx>

All,
Using detailed doppler measurements I find the following identification:
TW-1B is object 40927, 2015-051C, (other IDs: TianWang 1B, NJUST-2).
TW-1A and TW-1C transmit on the same frequency, making it impossible
to identify them without additional information.
TW-1A and TW-1C are either object 40926, 2015-051B, or object 40928,
2015-051D.
This means that Pujian 1 is object 40925, 2015-051A.
The Long March 11 (CZ-11) fourth stage is object 40929, 2015-051E.

I could receive the signals of these Chinese satellites on 27 Sep 2015.
The signals of TW-1A or 1C in the left figure are a very powerful every
10 seconds. The signal of TW-1B in the right figure is a very delicate
and I confirmed that are sending every 20 seconds. Because those protocol
are CSP (not AX.25), we will not be able to decode them in the usual way.
I used 2015-051A in NORAD as TLE.

Hi All,
Just to confirm that FUNcube-1 was returned to autonomous mode at approx
20:12 UTC this evening.

Just checked the 22:48 Z pass of LilacSat-2 FM transponder and it was
sending a short, very strong carrier about every 30 seconds. No activity on
the bird. Was not able to hear myself. No fluke tonight.

I noticed that a more recent PDF file found in the AMSAT-ID Facebook
group (also cross-posted to AMSAT-NA) indicates potentially 10 degree
inclination. The title page of the PDF file indicates a date of 28
September. I assume it is made to be presented after launch. It will be
interesting to see the actual orbit after launch and deployment.

System

Now Available: The TASS Computer-Controlled Switch System
The TASS (Totally
Awesome Switch System) is a general purpose 8-port
DC-150 MHz relay-based
switch. The hardware is designed to be very
generic, with an inexpensive
processor such as an Arduino providing the
system logic. Control is via USB,
with Ethernet and other interfaces
also available.
The TASS can be configured
several ways, and multiple boards can be
combined to create large switching
systems. The TASS has many uses, from
switching signal sources on a test bench
or in a laboratory, to
selecting receive antennas and filters in a ham or SWL
station.
The TASS system has two boards:
* The TASS-R relay board, which does
the mechanics of signal switching
and provides a very simple 10-pin
interface.
* The TASS-SHIELD board for use with an Arduino Mega 2560
microcontroller. The TASS-SHIELD allows up to four TASS-R boards to be
controlled simultaneously.
Both boards are available now from TAPR as kits.
They use through-hole
parts and don't require any special assembly
techniques.
The final component is open source software for the Arduino that
acts as
an interface between a host computer or other input system, and the
switching hardware. The software is available for download from TAPR.
An
introductory video is available at
https://youtu.be/P-TUM2dOi4c
or from TAPR
at
http://tapr.org/~n8ur/TASS/TASS_Intro_26Sep15.mp4
Software and documentation
can be downloaded from
http://tapr.org/~n8ur/TASS.
You may order the TASS-R and
TASS-SHIELD boards by
visiting
http://tapr.org/kits_tass.html
