Problem solved:

Thanks Chris Mark Alan + Nitin.

FYI.   Although there wasn't another program running, it looks like SDR# 
had set the parameters for the gain and filtering. - I'll have to watch out
for that.

Running SDR# again, I reset the front end filtering to '2m'  and saw that
copied across to FoxTelem.
So monitoring back in action.

Thanks for the help, and good luck with Fox-1D

Hello David!

 From time to time with the FCDPP I find this helpful to do if something is
going "wrong":

exit FoxTLM
unplug/plug in FCDPP
followed by launching FCHID2.002.exe then resetting to default values, then
setting the frequency to the "center" frequency I want to use with FoxTLM
followed by launching FoxTLM

That fixes about anything "weird" I've seen!  Give that a go.

telemetry.?73

Two telemetry frames received in Blacksburg on the last pass.

VT Ground Station is actually down for planned maintenance, so went
after it with FCD PRO+ plus Pre-amp plus Arrow plus FoxTelem SW.

SUPER EXCITED here at VT for the first camera test.

Keep collecting Telemetry folks!

GO AMSAT!!!!!!!

Hi All,

AO73 is now in continuous amateur mode for the weekend. The transponder
is on with low power telemetry also active.

Early next month AO73 will be entering a period of some weeks of
continuous sunlight. We are planning then to have a new operating
schedule as below:

Sunday pm through to Thursday am or pm - Continuous educational mode
with full power telemetry.

Thursday through to Sunday pm - Continuous amateur mode with the
transponder on, and with low power telemetry also active.

These plans will be reviewed with experience so may change!

Keep having FUN in space.

73

Could anyone please point me in the direction of the FoxTelem test.wav as it
is not at the destination listed in the FoxTelem instructions, or if anyone
has a working.wav file please?

The launch of AO-91 and 1D have got me interested in collecting the data.

Many thanks to AMSAT and all the volunteers who make it possible via the
satellites to take part in this exciting part of the hobby

Congratulations to the Indian people and the ISRO personnel in particular.
It was with joy that we enjoyed the streaming broadcast of the launch. The
Virginia Tech people celebrated today. When the satellite was heard people
looked to see what all the celebrations were about.

Saturday morning AO-92 passes at 1436 and 1610 UTC will likely test the VT
camera. Please be ready to decode and feed high speed data to server with
FoxTelem (check your rx bandwidth if using a SDR program to decode, 18kHz or

Steve,

It already is.  However, it is listed under its temporary object number,
99934.  It is at the very bottom of the list.  Once it is definitely
identified, it will appear as AO-92.
