Observation 45241: XW-2A (40903)

Regarding Observation 45241

CW telemetry reads a bit weird to me, can someone help me understand how it relates to this https://ukamsat.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/xw-2-cw-telemetry-encoding-format.pdf

I get, amongst other things (a bot of gibberish at the start and end as expected)

It uses numerical encoding via the table in the doc, data is sent in channels.

Data channel 2 (mode) AAA, next channel RTR == 101/10 V, next channel RRM == 118ma

Ah I sort of get it, table 3 starts you off then lookup elsewhere in the doc. It was the bit able channels I didn’t quite get at first.
