FUNcube-2 beacon goes live

| August 8, 2014

The FUNcube-2 telemetry beacon aboard the UKube-1 satellite has been switched on.

Transmissions are on 145.915MHz, plus or minus Doppler shift.

If you have a station that will receive the FUNcube-1 telemetry transmissions then it should also be able to hear FUNcube-2.

The FUNcube-1 Dashboard application for home computers does not yet properly display data from FUNcube-2 but it does correctly upload information to the corresponding Data Warehouse.

A revised version of the Dashboard software is being prepared by the team and the latest information can be found at www.amsat-uk.org.
