The UHF and VHF uplink and downlink use GMSK modulation:

CO-65 GMSK 9k6 digipeat

GMSK is now scheduled on every weekend over the world wide.
You can digipeat via CO-65 GMSK 9k6.

In Cute-1.7 + APD II, we provide the following services using 1200MHz uplink and 430MHz downlink, on a trial basis.

   1. Real-time relay communication service
   2. Message box service

1267.6MHz high-speed packet communication (GMSK-9600bps) is used for uplink. 437.475MHz high-speed packet communication(GMSK-9600bps) is used for downlink.

The GMSK modulation is used in the D-STAR radio with the AMBE codecs i don't know if the CUTE data can be decoded in the digital data 
frames with the Icom D-STAR radio?
