Possible New One

While hunting for several BRO satellites, the following was observed on 401.744 transmitting 19K2 AX100 frames. QTH EM12jw. Helix antenna for RX.

Perhaps Chinese - TY41 (as in Tianye or TianQi lineage)

Good hunting all es 73,

Hi Bob,

Thanks for sharing this information.

Maybe you can try the TLE that belong to 2024-173

Looking at my STRF data, my best guess this is object 61231

Maybe you can give these TLE a try.

Tracked a relatively low 61231 pass, but able to decode the strongest frame as TY41 using the provided yml file from an IQ playback.

TKS Jan. Hope others can also confirm TY41 has 61231.

Great,

If you are able to recorded an IQ with some strong signals, we can check if the deviation value is correct.

The 4800 is based on a rule of thumb bandrate/4

Satellite added in DB and scheduled in Network for the next two days.

I’ve added the transmitter as unconfirmed as we are not sure if it belongs to 61231 object, let’s find out the next hours/days.

By the way, was it a good fit using object 61231 ?

Looks to be pretty spot on, based on your satyaml:

Thanks Daniel,

I saw that one of your station was successful in decoding TY-41.
Good to see the value is correct.

I’ve moved transmitter to confirmed!

Nice find @N6RFM and great work on confirming @PE0SAT @SA2KNG!
