Dear John,

The definitions for the 5 APRS telemetry chanels are as follows:

1.) Vbat = Battery Voltage in Volts. I hope you have used a lithium AA battery (not AAA) The Pecan Femto tracker should work down to 1.2 V at least

2.) SiTemp = Temperature measured in the Si4063 transmitter chip in degrees Celsius (sorry forgot to change)

3.) ucTemp = Temperature measured in the micro controller chip in degrees Celsius (sorry forgot to change)

4.) TTFF = Time to first fix. How long does it take until the GPS receiver gets a (3D) position lock in seconds.

5.) Sats = Number of GPS satellites that were received to get the position lock.

The equations can be seen on the APRS.fi Telemetry page:

Congrats on the launch and Hamfest from Berlin!

It looks like 51 want's to visit a couple more states before it goes over the pond.
Now in South Carolina.

Weather looks clear ahead with a forecast of a wind direction of ENE  75 degrees.
Maybe it is going to take the great circle route to Europe.

Andy please explain a couple of the telemetry  graphs.

Vbat in volts , got it. That little AAA battery is doing it's thing

SI temp and Uc temp, in degree C; they track close but not exact, what are they?

TTFF in seconds  ??

Channel 5 doesn't seem to have a value or name.
I know I can change the value designators.
