You definitely want the latest release for HuskySat. 1.08z. I have gotten
a few frames at a time (up to 20) with a jpole and an wide-band amp, but
nothing before this upgrade to z. And this is with a FunCubeDongle. No
reports about the RTL-SDR and Husky. I just know it is fussy to receive.
I'm also not sure about a Pi2. A Pi3B and 4B certainly works.

This happens when the satellite owners send a command to shift modes. The
telemetry queues are drained and restarted with a pilot signal to help lock
on.

Hello Greg,

> or the RPi to get the Fox software to see the RTL dongle?
I'm also running a fairly generic RTL-SDR dongle on an Rpi3+ without
issues (other than a $20 dongle is a mediocre receiver) for my Fox In A
Box setup. The software is the Raspbian package that comes loaded on the
microSD card from the AMSAT store. No additional configuration was needed.
The dongle makes an interesting experiment at best. I prefer my RSP2 SDR
and my Yaesu gear for reliably copying signals.

Hello Burns,
I'll look for a pass that has a footprint for both your QTH and mine;
perhaps we can work a sked.
I need to get a 70cm antenna up, but a ground plane ought to hit it.
Someday, when I'm less busy, I'll get my rotator setup going... :-)

Hi Zach & Rich,
According to the https://www.amsat.org/two-way-satellites/ communication
satellite page, XW-2A, -2B, and -2F are the operable XW sats. The others
are inoperable and do odd things, like what Zach reports.
2A, 2B and 2F have been pretty successful for me in the past week, but they
aren't always very active.
73, Bob, WB4SON

Greg, I highly recommend the FIAB disk images that Burns makes available
for download or purchase. Super easy to get Foxtelem going on Pi3 or Pi4.

I updated Nasabare this morning,1400UTC 2/7/20
subsequently when trying to generate second operator using the ACCy menu
option I get the 'invalid floating point operation'
am using the map default view.
of course I just changed over to W10 so not sure if this is related to Keps
file OR OS system.
anyone else see this error recently?
thanks for any suggestions.

Right now my rotator went feet up (cold overnight?) and I have not had a
chance to look at it. So not much Husky data from me for a while either.
But when we are both back on the air, that would be fun. I've talked to
Jerry on AO-85. I wonder if any of the other FM birds have mutual viewing.

As a performance example of this simple setup, here's a 35 degree pass
recording:

I definitely have some pattern issues to the NW, as all other directions
hear better. The culprit may be the AC units hanging in the attic, as is
custom here for builders to do. The antenna is as far away from these as
possible, but something bolted to the wooden chimney would be better.

Christy,
I checked, and get the same error. WIN10, though custom Keps from CelesTrak
and another source, locally mixed and sorted.
