Using the data set from T-240 to T+899 sec from the recent telemetry
downlink, we report further analysis of BAT GRB 241128A (trigger #1270999)
(Brivio et al., GCN Circ. 38367).  The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 273.724, 33.492 deg which is
   RA(J2000)  =  18h 14m 53.7s
   Dec(J2000) = +33d 29' 32.9"
with an uncertainty of 2.4 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment). The
partial coding was 52%.

The mask-weighted light curve shows a multi-pulse structure that starts at
~T0 and ends at ~T+240 s. The main pulse starts at ~T0, peaks at ~T+3 s,
and ends at ~T+10 s. In addition, there is a weak pulse at ~T+220 s. T90
(15-350 keV) is 238.32 +- 15.83 sec (estimated error including systematics).

The time-averaged spectrum from T-0.86 to T+244.08 sec is best fit by a
simple power-law model.  The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum
is 1.54 +- 0.31.  The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.1 +- 0.2 x 10^-06
erg/cm2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+2.88 sec in the 15-150
keV band is 1.0 +- 0.2 ph/cm2/sec.  All the quoted errors are at the 90%
confidence level.
