Re: [amsat-bb] VO-52 telemetry ?

["Andrew Glasbrenner" <glasbrenner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The CW beacon is not telemetry, it is a preprogrammed message according to 
previous information from William. The telemetry for the satellite is in the 
VHF high band somewhere. If you google for ANUsat there is a pretty good 
schematic which looks like the ones I've seen of VO-52; I would guess they 
are of very similar design/construction. The telemetry system is likely the 
same. If it disappears after I post this, email me. I have a local copy of 
both.

Compare the block diagram to the one posted by William...

All this probably won't help with decoding anything, but the information is 
out there....
