I purchased the LVB tracker sold on the Amsat website. It was simple to
setup and performs great.

Not sure why but they sent me? a nice paper copy without me even asking.
Perhaps they monitor the AMSAT board :-)

Message-ID: <c7bdbb0cbce6073e65edb476d16ac6be@xxxxxxx.xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
My Fox Telemetry program is not decoding AO-85 anymore. I'm looking for
suggestions on where to start looking for a fix.
In the past it would sometimes stop working. At those times, I would
Uninstall, then Install a freshly downloaded version, and that seemed to
work fine. It would always work up until I get to around 100 data
packets downloaded, then it would quit, so I would uninstall, then
reinstall and I'm back in business.
This last time, the new Install is not decoding, even on beautiful "eye
forms" with SNR >4 and 5. Very frustrating.
I know I'm not doing something right as I assume I shouldn't have to
reinstall after every 100 or so downloads and I definitely did something
wrong this time since it is not decoding at all.
I using an RTL-SDR and HDSDR software. I know that the RTL-SDR is not
the recommended hardware but it's what I can afford and it worked in the
past.
If someone can offer constructive suggestions, I would appreciate it. (I
was climbing the telemetry board pretty quick and now I have come to a
halt. I'd like to get back at it.)
Thanks!!

Hey there, Steve.
I can mention a couple of things to check, but some more info on your setup
might help.
You said that the history was that it would work for a while and then
stop. What folder do you have your logs set for? By chance is this a
newer computer with a relatively small solid-state hard drive? Not running
out of HD space are you?
Along the same lines, instead of removing & re-installing, at any point did
you try the "Delete Payload Files" option?
On the RF side, I also use HDSDR. Do you have it set to output to a
virtual audio cable at 48k? Do you have the audio bandwidth set to around
12k? Also on the audio side, be sure that the filter line is hard down on
the zero side of the scale. This is certainly a case to not filter out the
low end of the audio spectrum.
In the FoxTelem software, do you have the input set to the other end of
your virtual audio device? 48k there also? The buttons set to "auto" &
"AF"?
Instead of running through all the settings, I'll assume that most are at
the default. Please reply if you have a question about any particular
setting.
When I reply to a question like this, while my particular points might not
help, I hope that some comment that I make might points you in the right
direction of makes a light bulb go off in your head in regard to some other
aspect of the hardware / software setup.

K3NG's arduino rotator controller. Why spend $200 when a fuller
feature set can be had for $30?
Building/programming is necessary, though. Not hard. Steep learning curve.

Still looking for AMSAT interested folks to volunteer to help with satellite
demos to lots of prospective hams at the large STEM event in Dallas, TX this
weekend called "Moon Day" held at the Frontiers of Flight Museum at Love
Field. We will be using special event call sign K5M for all contacts so if
you hear us, please try to work us. Last year 1500 people attended
including many Boy and Girl Scouts, families and space buffs. AMSAT fits in
perfectly here. I am loaning the Fox 1B engineering model and my HT/Elk to
the Museum event coordinator to hopefully have him use as part of pre-show
TV interview show and tell. Contact me at tjschuessler@xxxxxxx.xxx to learn
more.
Also catch the downlink of the ARISS contact which should start at about
1554Z on Saturday the 16th which will be a telebridge from Santa Rosa, CA.
For demonstration purposes, I am also looking for some good SDR recordings
that I could play back on a laptop during down times. I have some but would
like some more. Send me Dropbox links as the files are large I know. I
will most certainly use them.
Looking forward to a fun event. Please, if you can, make the trip to Dallas
and help out.

This morning, Glenn AA5PK, and I had a QSO via the experimental
transponder activated on LilacSat-2. It was very interesting and fun.
A non-inverting mode J transponder was new to me.
Using manual tuning to adjust for Doppler shift proved to be a small
challenge as I am more accustomed to operating on a transponder like
FO-29. Running SDR in parallel to my Icom IC-9100 gave me a good
visual representation of the transponder pass band.

If you want a week of portable battery satellite OPS, don?t overlook an
Electric Vehicle (EV) with a 16kWh battery pack.
With over 40 new full size EV?s now on the market from almost every car
MFR, and 6 years now of used ones, you can get a huge battery with car
attached for under $6k.
I just counted ten EV?s for $9k or less and another 15 for under $15k on
http://autotrader.com within 200 miles of my zip code. Do a search for
?fuel type ? electric? to find them. I saw lots of LEAFs, some VOLTS, and
several iMiEV?s and Smarts-4-2. Bob, WB4APR

K3NG's arduino rotator controller. Why spend $200 when a fuller

Building/programming is necessary, though. Not hard. Steep learning curve.
