My first pass is just after noon. If it hasn't self-corrected by then, I'll
try a reset.

Hans,

Looks like if it IDs, the signal is normal and you get the usual 2 telemetry
frames.  If the transponder has been brought up, you get the odd signal,
with a brief switch to DUV at the end, but no telemetry.  The command staff
have been notified.

73,

Alan
