UKube-1 Downlink 1 KHz High?

For the third day in a row I’ve been monitoring the FUNcube-2/UKube-1 telemetry downlink, and have determined for a detected tone frequency of 1500 Hz according to the Funcube Dashboard software, I need to set the Downlink frequency to 145.916 KHz.  This is about 1 KHz higher than the published values.

I’ve also noted a periodic tremendous increase in noise on the downlink, that almost entirely wipes out the telemetry.  This noise lasts for about a minute then goes away.  From comments I’ve read this might be due to the main experiment transmitter going on the air. I’ll make attempts to capture this on a video in a future pass.
