<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>The APRS capable cubesatCAPEII is underutilized and only has limited time remaining on orbit. The University of Louisiana says users are welcome:<br><br>CAPE II operates on 145.825 MHz with a CW beacon with the callsign W5UL,
it also includes a digipeater, text to speech operation, a simplex
repeater, email and tweet functions. The ground station software can be
downloaded from <a href="http://www.ulcape.org" target="_blank">http://www.ulcape.org</a><br><br></div>Unfortunately, its battery is dead, so it only works on daytime orbits. But the text-to-speech is on all the time, though the digipeater is not.<br>
<br></div>I have not operated it, but am at the SMALLSAT conference and the Uof L people say it is operational and availalbe for use. SO google for info on how to use it. If you minotor 145.825 you will hear its voice occasionally.<br>
