Ishkra 3, the Russian amateur radio satellite launched last month from Salyut 7, has been heard with its transponder on. Frequencies: uplink: 21.230-21.270 mhz downlink: 29.580 - 29.620 mhz beacon: 29.583 mhz The telemetry identifies as RK03 in cw. If the "R" channel value is other than 00, then the transponder is on.
