Yup well spotted - the obvious has been missed on the mission page - but it 
is in the works to be added real soon - you are looking at the beta test 
version!  The pulse beacon simply keys the PTT of the main UHF transceiver 
without any AX25 data running
                    UHF 
S-Band

Frequency     437.250 MHz (half-duplex)          2401.835 MHz

Antennas        Monopole whip                             3 x patch antennas 
facing ±x and

Power             Approx 3W                                 Approx,   0.7W ± 
x and 1.5W

Modulation      FSK and pulse beacon                 FSK

Protocol         Unnumbered AX25                        Unnumbered AX25
