I have seen from multiple source that the Arecibo radio telescope has

anyone have data about the signal. Things like the frequency, duration
power...

FWIW and IIRC I remember reading that Ross 128 is following an unusual
trajectory through the Milky Way, very much different from most of the
stars it shares its spiral arm with, including our Sun.

But apparently its position relative to Earth is also a bit problematic
for radio astronomy:
