    A fellow Amateur Radio operator apparently received telemetry from CAERUS on 437.6 MHz: amsat-bb@amsat.org/msg11705.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/amsat-bb@amsat.org/msg11705.html
    
    If you have a receiver capable of receiving 437.6 MHz narrowband FM, you could listen for it. If you have a TNC (terminal node controller) or software to decode AX.25, you can listen for the correct callsign in the telemetry frame (KJ6FIX-1). Some sfw: http://www.dxzone.com/catalog/Software/Packet/
    
    Here's the telemetry format: http://www2.isi.edu/research/prj-serc/prj-serc_projects/prj-serc_projects-9.htm
