Default Iridium...can you receive it ?

Hi, i'd like to invite those interested in Iridium
to join our discussion-group where we currently
look at the possibilties of receiving and decoding
Iridium signals.

As you may have noticed the Iridium satphone system
has currently gained a lot of attention thanks to
it's use in Iraq and in the Katrina area.

Here's a few technical details:

Handset TX-power is an average 0,6 Watts
RX sensitivity is -118 dBM
Frequency-band 1616-1626,5 MHz (L-Band)
Duplex is Time Division Duplex TDD (RX/TX same freq)
Data-rate 2400 Bd (V42b compression)
Modulation is QPSK
Acess/Multiplex is TDMA/FDMA
Coverage: 100% Worldwide (sat in sight)
Calls currently barred to: N.Korea,N.SriLanka
Use forbidden in: Cuba,Iran,Libya,Sudan,Angola
Services: Voice,Data,Paging,Voice PTT,Group calls
Mobile Sat link=encryption NO (?)
Sat Groundstation link-encryption YES (?)
Sat Sat link-encryption: UNKNOWM (probably NO)
Standard end-to-end encryption: NO
Add-on encryption units available: YES

this group is mainly talking about GSM and Cellphone
interception,encryption and security
but we will now extend our interests to satphones.
