Thanks Zach.

I noticed the spinning too, and noticed it was not what others have shown
in their videos, so figured it had to do with my manual tuning, so thanks
for verifying.

I read the first page and that doc looks like a really good primer on
digital RF. Some of those diagram might as well be art.

Nice video.  Thanks for posting.  As Zach said, the spinning phasor tells
us that the frequency is not locked, but that is OK as long as it is a
line.  The "Dot Product" decoder is not a coherent decoder so it is not in
phase lock with the original carrier.  The phasor is allowed to rotate and
we will still get 100% decode.  It can't be a circle or a cloud though :).

If you use the Costas loop decoder then it will freeze the phasor
horizontally when locked because it is a coherent decoder.  The two
decoders have pros and cons with their ability to decode.  Enjoy exploring
that.

Good afternoon from a hot Australia.

I'm trying my hand at Foxtelm, but I can't get it to work.

Setup is:

IC9100, output is on Data1 on the discriminator tap, into the line in on
the computer. (ic9100 is set to it's wide band width, 15khz)

Antenna setup is 2 x 16 element ((crossed polarized) vhf & uhf beams on?
GG5500 rorator.

Line tap is going into a win10 pro machine running Foxtelem, sound card
is set to 48000hz.

I have read the instructions & everything seams to as same as the
instructions, but still no data.

Any ideas?

Good Morning.

Getting setup to copy telemetry from HuskeySat-1.? Are the Keps for the
bird correct in FoxTelem and/or SDRConsol/ satellites??
Is NasaBare.txt correct ??? I can track using SatPC32? w/Foxtelem/
FUNCube Pro or SDRConsol w/wispdde/ FUNCube Pro.? Any advice ?? Thank you!!

Nasabare has it with the name HuskySat-1.  I'm not sure if that this the
name by default in FoxTelem.  Just pull down the "spacecraft" menu and look
at the top line "Name (for keps)" and change it to HuskySat-1 if it is not
that already.  After that you should be good.

At this point we are still learning how to work best with FoxTelem.
Different people have better luck with the "Costas" decoder or the DP
decoder (radio buttons on the top of the main screen).  And you seem to
need a fairly strong signal at this point.  I need a beam and a preamp for
example.

No experience with SDRConsole.

Thanks for collecting telemetry!  UW and AMSAT are both pleased to get more!

Thanks Burns, I have been trying with the eggbeater antennas + preamp, I can
hear the signals but unable to decode. I too think will need a yagi for 435.

Just a couple of observations ...

Costas seems to be easier to use for me. I'm tracking Doppler manually
so it's easier to see a good lock once I get it.

I'm using a 7 element yagi, 20 degree fixed elevation with an azimuth
rotor. I see from the decoded telemetry that the Forward Power has
ranged between 111 mW and 636 mW. Received signal on my end depends a
lot on which trees are in the way ;-)

I have just downloaded and installed a new copy of SatPC32 12.8d and
registered it. I'm using it with a new radio as well, an IC-9700.  I did
all the things I thought I remembered to setup the program and radio, and
it sort of works....

My problem is when the program starts up, it will shift the radio into the
Satellite Mode (good), and if I toggle the "C-/C+" CAT ON/OFF command, it
will take the calculated frequency and set the radio correctly (good).
However the radio is frequency is never updated after that, despite having
a CAT Tuning Interval of 30 Hertz for SSB.  If I toggle the "C" command
off, then back on, it will update once, but never again.  The other
interesting thing is the manual tuning controls (the arrows to the right of
the frequency display on SatPC32) work all the time.  Click up 1k and the
Downlink changes by 1k.

All of the above seems to make me think that the radio and SatPC32 have
been setup correctly (and are talking to each other), but I don't
understand why I just get an initial frequency correction and nothing
else.  Likely some bone-headed thing I have forgotten to do.  Any ideas?

The other odd thing is that I can't fix the map to be stationary on the
observer -- it always follows the satellite.  I've stored that setting and
restarted several times.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the tip!

I did answer one of my two questions myself.  I had failed to turn "CI-V
USB Echo Back" ON in the IC-9700 settings, and without that, it won't do
more than one step (I guess it fails to hear back from the radio that it
succeeded).  So turning that ON, allows it to correct for Doppler per the
CAT Setting step size.

Still can't get the map to stay centered on my observer location.

Hi Bob,
the option 'Center map on ... Observer'? works only with the Zoom 1 maps
(Z1). Whith Z2 the map is always centered on the satellite to avoid that
the footprint gets out of the program window.
