We present the latest results from our analysis of time resolved spectroscopy of PG 1605+072, a high amplitude pulsating sdB star. The star is believed to have evolved off the extreme horizontal branch, and it is uncertain whether it pulsates in p- or g-modes. Previous studies of PG 1605+072 have found amplitude variation and/or very closely spaced frequencies. We compare our velocity measurements with new simultaneous spectrophotometric measurements and analyse phase differences for the 8 frequencies found in velocity. Phase differences between velocity, spectrophotometry and equivalent width are discussed. Finally, a possible explanation for the unusual equivalent width variations in the Balmer lines is also presented.
