Typo on the callsign that should have read G0AUK.
As I've had several email already on the subject I'll confirm this was only an
initial test of the transponder. It was commanded off towards the end of the

Testing and analysis of the telemetry data from FUNcube-1 (AO-27) is continuing.

Ok Steve. I am listening to 145.935 MHz +/- doppler in the USB mode. The

Hi Pete,
You need to put the TNC into KISS mode before running their software. At
least that is the case here with a Paccomm TNC.Make the com port settings
match your system (port number, baud).
No need for any port emulators.
It works OK here.
