LightSail was silent for eight days, but she is active again.
During this morning (31-05-2015 09:53 UTC) pass over The Netherlands I first received weak FSK signals and realized that the TLE I was using (ULTRASat2) didn’t match very well so I switched to ULTRASat8 and was able to decode 19 frames.

PSAT Beacon specification:
CALL beacon MODE NOF DET AGC VC IC TMP
Where:
| CALL | identification of the beacon (callsign) |
| beacon | keyword indicating beginning of data |
| MODE | A or B (A – transmitter always on, B – transmitter turns on, if BPSK31 signal is present) |
| NOF | number of frame (0 … 999) |
| DET | percentage of BPSK31 detection (0 … 99%) |
| AGC | percentage of AGC operation (0 … 99%) |
| VC | supply voltage (10 mVolts) |
| IC | power amplifier current (mAmps) |
| TMP | temperature of PA transistor (deg C) |
The AGC measured voltage is highly nonlinearly dependent on the input signal, morover the limiting values of measurement vary with temperature of the chip and its supply voltage. Indicative only conversion equation was computed as from 50Ohm generator to input of receiver Pin = 0.472xAGC-113.5 [dBm, %]
Example:
W3ADO-5 beacon B 044 03 24 540 198 +28
It means mode B active, frame number 044, BPSK31 03 %, AGC acting 24%, supply voltage 5.40V, PA current 198mA ant temperature of the PA transistor of +28°C.
