Hello everyone, probably a little off topic, but can anyone tell me what kind of satellite is operating in fsk mode (4.8k baud) at a frequency of 437.375 and transmits the text (ax.25) “JG6YBW0JG6YMX0”?
That particular string has been associated with several (I think) satellites from Japan. However, I’m not sure how many of them are still in orbit.
You may wish to see if your observations work out to be when Kashiwa was overhead

… an observation w/ decodes:

thank you very much, apparently this is it, it turns out that in CW and FSK modes it transmits different call signs?
Good question - I don’t know!
Do some searching of the ‘observations’ that include data decodes in each of the modes and that will provide the answer.
Indeed, it’s Kashiwa!
They messed things a little bit up.
Beside forgetting to adapt the callsign to JS1YMX, you will notice that it is not AX.25 because the callsigns plus their ssid masks are not shifted 1 bit as the protocol specifies.
And although they provided me the complete CW beacon format to be able to convert it to meaningful values (I’m currently working to finish the dashboard), they went quiet once it came to the mentioned FSK beacon.
The published HK format is not applicaple to the transmitted format.
