    Radio Communications Subsystem
    • 145.935 MHz BPSK Telemetry 30 or 300 mW
    • Inverting SSB/CW transponder 300 mW PEP
    - 435.150 – 435.130 MHz Uplink LSB
    - 145.950 – 145.970 MHz Downlink USB
    Passband may be up to 15 kHz higher depending on on-board temperatures
    Educational Telemetry beacon is 300 mW during day and 30 mW at night. Transponder is only active during night passes and at weekends
    Please use a maximium uplink power of 5 watts to a 7 dBi gain antenna (25 w EIRP). Lower power will also work well.
    If adjusting for Doppler shift manually try tuning the uplink frequency while transmitting to keep the downlink frequency constant.
