Protocol Definition for TTX Beacon to Ground Stations
=====================================================


Introduction
------------

- using CW on FSK
- transceiver should send a beacon about every 60s
- transceiver sends a aknowledge frame if requested
- parity

Beacon Frame:
-------------

'N'       (1 Sign)   .. Start Character (-.)
CALLSIGN  (4 Signs)  .. the satellites call sign (i.e. OE0M)
CNT       (3 Signs)  .. beacon counter (Base32)
STATE     (1 Sign)   .. Base32 coded bitfield
CMDQLEN   (1 Sign)   .. Number of commands in queue (Base32)
... tba
CHECKSUM  (1 Sign)   .. Parity Sign


 Bitfields
 ~~~~~~~~~

  STATE:

  LSB     RX_STATE   .. Payload Receiver State (0 = OFF, 1 = ON)
  ... tba
  MSB    

Aknowledge Frame
----------------

'A'       (1 Sign)   .. Start Character (.-)
CRXCODE   (1 Sign)   .. unscrambled command code from CRX
CHECKSUM  (1 Sign)   .. Parity Sign
