Re: [amsat-bb] Cute 1.7 constant carrier

[G0MRF@xxxxxxx]

Hi all.
 
Strange it should go to 100% duty cycle if the battery has gone low  volts.
 
Perhaps this is a radiation hit on the controller causing a latch up  
condition with the software. If so, a classic case for a 3 day timer and an  
automatic reload of the controller firmware.
 
Sat builders beware!

Confirming that Cute 1.7 (CO-56) is transmitting a constant carrier  
at 16:21UTC when it was out over the Pacific ocean from just south of  
Juneau, AK to about 300km NNW of Honolulu, Hawai`i.  Strong carrier  
but no CW TLM at all.
