Regarding Observation 794536 …
Anyone knowing a tool for manually decoding such telemetry?
I remember downloading a tool from the UK AMSAT site years ago (Funcube 1) and I think there are at least 3 decoders available for the other Funcubes. Unfortunately they are Windows based.

Yes, FUNcube-1 continues to operate nominally after more than 5 1/2 years in space. Decoders for FUNcube-1(AO73), Nayif-1 (EO088) and JY1Sat (JO97) can all be downloaded from https://funcubetest2.files.wordpress.com/2019/01/funcube-dashboard-summary-v2.pdf. These Dashboards also display the decoded tlm and send updates to our data warehouse http://data.amsat-uk.org/missions
Hopefully there may be some RPi code soon…

There’s gr-satellites has apps/ao73.py for Funcube-1.
I just tested downloading the audio from SatNOGS Network - Observation 794536 and sending that to ./ao73.py - had to change from UDP to TCP port 7355 then it worked (udp packets come in too fast and get dropped) - altho no frames were actually recognized :\
