Just to add something else which might have already been tried..
1) Launch UP
2) ADS
3) Just as UP is winding up and HUD is flickering off, scoop
Just did this, it stops the UP in its tracks as soon as it enters the hold, like cancels the UP broadcast, nothing more happens.

The honk is actually included in a lot of the long spectrogram images that are circulating.
Far left of the image.

Hmm... that's probably something to do with the coding, i.e. there being two states to the UP - inactive and active (stored and deployed)
Thank you for all your tests! Very much appreciated!
I have also a little request while you are testing the UP.
Could you spare some moments when the UP howls and lihts up and stop the time of the lihting as described here?
Alright CMDRs.
After some thoughts and theories I figured it might be some time for analysis again.
I thought about what helped us solving the UA riddle and if there were other hints, that could have led us in this direction.
So I watched different UA videos and noted the uptime of the UA lighting during its howl.

UA on ground
- Merope 2D (32.1019, -35.9477) 16 sec
- Pleiades Sector JC-U B3-2 1, 20.86 by 91.86 (next to Barnacle) 34 sec
UA in space
HYADES SECTOR HW-W C1-12 25 sec
Seega Port 14 sec
THFC-EST 1882 19 sec
With the solution already known, I guess the differences vary due to the scanned ship and body.
Now i was curious if there is something to be found watching the UP as well (having in mind MBs comment about different purposes of both).
Here is what I found

UP on ground
Merope 5c 12 sec
(unfortunately there is only 1 usable video, as the other ground test was more focused on the EMP and Mhyres ground video had only sound)
UP in space
Ross 47 A8 23 sec
Ross 47 A8 with UA present 23 sec
Sol -Earth 23 sec
Ross 47 (Educating Ed) 20 sec
SPF-LF 1 1 (Educating Ed) 20 sec
Results:
The ground result is vague, due to missing sources but the duration is remarkebly shorter than in space.
The space results seemed to be consistent until yesterdays episode of Educating Ed.
(maybe because they were given from devs to Ed instead of being collected as the others?)
But again, the duration is definitely longer than on the ground.
As far as I can tell the distance from Merope is not a factor influencing the light duration (meaning no homeworld finder).
So why is the lighting duration on a planet nearly half as short as in space?
Is it a rangefinder once on the ground?
Does it light up shorter as we get nearer to its receiving station?
I need more data to prove or disprove this.
If it is not, why does the duration change then?
So I am asking a favor for more visual ground recordings, with varying distances from barnacles to begin with, as they are our best reference points so far.
Or I am asking for a high five. In the face. With a chair. when I made a mistake in my research
On a side note (and less less important):
Anyone noticed that only one portion of the UP lights up during the EMP startup sequence but not the other?
(The one facing away from Merope)
And that the scooping picture of the UP is showing an UA? ( lazy devs)
Thank you for your attention CMDRs!
I just want to exclude there is some meaning in it.
Unfortunatly videos of it become rarer as there is only yours left.
Cheers CMDR o7
Is an interesting idea, I mean the honk is visible in the spectrograms like Han Zen says but the notion that it's just some reflected image is a cool thought.
I mean I keep looking at this :
then looking at that :
Also probably coincidence but the spectrograph image also has the dot in the middle. (though the line count doesn't seem to match)
[weird]

I "have asked if anyone has studied the "question'' that the probe ''answers''....but people assume because I am so handsome I must be disregarded as irrelevant..............poor them , they are only half right
maybe I only type badly to fool them
and anyone can ask dumb questions...its allowed with one condition....we set your hair on fire....you can see the brown crown above my frown
also the preface "um'' is often used to start a query.........and as I am currently mining I see the ''-ums" are invariably worth more then the "-ites'' (osmiUM platinUM....gallITE lepodITE)...........so "'UM'" away at your hearts content and have a fire retardant handy

Did you try to:
1. Honk the UP
2. As soon as the honk is complete, activate ECM to block the EMP?
You can honk your UP in whatever fashion you choose, I don't judge. Just a suggestion.
A note on SCIENCE and scientists: you may honk your UPs however you choose. You may also pluck your Twangers, but don't pluck your friends' Twangers without their consent, nor honk their UPs.

I'm gonna repost this, as I think there may be something to it and haven't seen it addressed. I'd check it out myself, but I don't have Palin unlocked and I'm playing on Xbox, so analysis would be rather unwieldy.

No. They used to have in house competitions to see who could make the funniest alternate version of shows. It was never aired.
second episode had answered that....but the first was possible....the BBC seemed to be full of highly dodgy childrens entertainers back then
****suddenly worries one is interacting with ex BBC people****

Ok. To hell with science. I'm going back to my good old tinfoil journalism.
I will claim a few things. Lets see if it sticks.
-The UP drawing is a nav beacon.
- The symbols are Morse code.
- They spell WURD.
Nav Beacons Morse the system name. The UP, like the UA is quite bad at Morse (or very clever - more on that later). What it meas is WYRD.
Wyrd is an interesting system, in the beta bubble. Home to the Dweller.
In Mai there was a CG for Tantalum in Wyrd: https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/572b47ee9657ba950459e109
A key material in FDS technology.
A year ago, Elain Boyd was found dead in a motel in Wyrd: https://community.elitedangerous.com/galnet/uid/55dc31a49657baad223a18a4
Wyrd is 10ly from Leonard Nimoy station.
Cap ship battles have been reported in the region lately.
And the Dweller, he seems fond of Onion head. Those domes are full of it.
If you turn the UP image upside down, the Morse spell: DRUG. ;-)

Mystery solved! Onto the next . . .
hell yeah!! if there is nothing there I'd fill a bug report, because it has to be!!
good luck!
Nice find! added to the sheet. Please look at page one and submit it to the master sheet there if you can please.
