Hi again.
For the ICOM IC706 in CW mode with internal preamp on:
The S4 reading equates to -117dBm
The S5 reading is -115dBm
6m of RG58 is 0.95dB at 145MHz
Antenna gain is about +8dBi
Off pointing loss is about 2dB
Range for these signals was closer to 1500km
Have fun with the path loss equations.
Regards
David G0MRF

Tnx David for the report
If you have a TNC we would like to get the AX.25 data. If you like we have
ground station software. Do you have any idea how strong s-4 is in mv or
dmb? Also what set of TLE are you using?

Hi Nick.
I've just loaded the latest set of keps for CAPE 2 and have managed to
receive a signal at the first attempt from the right direction / frequency
and time.
The pass was at 12.30UTC when the satellite was within range of London.
I was listening in USB to try and detect weak signals. However, not
necessary as the signal was quite good (about 'S4')
CW at 12.32. Frequency pulling as the CW was keying. best freq 145.823
Then at 12.36 some stronger FM. (shame I was still in USB) Best frequency
145.822 (SSB)
As I'm at 51 degrees North the highest pass I see is about 17 degrees
elevation.
The range today was about 1450km.
The satellite appeared to 'peak' a couple of minutes later than I expected.
4 element horizontal yagi pointed south and at 25 degrees elevation. ICOM
IC 706 with 6m of RG58 and no preamp.
I'll have a try at the next pass, but I can't find anything on the CAPE
website which describes the sequence or timing of the transmissions. If you
can send a link for this info and I'll be able to anticipate the timings and
modes.
Thanks
David G0MRF (FUNcube team)

Hi Roland
We thank you for the data. You are copying our sat better than we are. We
would like you to perhaps command our sat to do a data dump. If you have a
tnc we will send you the software to command a data dump. I am also like to
know what type of antenna and receiver you are using and what the idle noise
when you point your antenna to cold sky.
Thanks
