Subject: Decoded Dove-1 TM Data
The following is a copy of a local packet message I posted showing a
sample of the raw TM data and then a decoded version of the same data.
The Dove TM Decoder application was done by Miles Abernathy, N5KOB. He
can be reached via packet (N5KOB @ KB5PM.TX.USA.NA) in Austin, Texas.
Sorry about that but the application is for a Macintosh. I posted the
application to comp.binaries.mac. I can also E-mail in .sit.hqx format.

Subject: Sample of Decoded Dove-1 TM Data
From: KD5VU@KB5PM
Thanks to Miles, N5KOB, who wrote the Dove-1 Telemetry Decoder for the
Macintosh, I was able to decode the telemetry data from Dove-1. The following
is the before and after text for those who would like to see what Dove is
telling the humans:
