Hi Gerald,

These days you can do decode everything on the computer. No TNC is needed.

Rough list of what's being transmitted out there and what programs you
can use:

* 1k2 AX.25 AFSK and 9k6 AX.25 FSK. This is like your regular packet
radio. You can use UZ7HO soundmodem, direwolf, or many other software
TNC programs.

* Faster AX.25 FSK. 19k2 is common. Some of the 9k6 AX.25 software also
supports this faster speeds.

* 1k2 AX.25 BPSK. This is transmitted by the QB50p satellites and
perhaps some others. You can use UZ7HO and warbler.

* 9k6 AX.25 BPSK. Transmitted by 3CAT-2. There is an alpha version of
UZ7HO and a GNUradio decoder in gr-satellites.

Non-AX.25 satellites:

* FUNcube and FUNcube-2, which transmit 1k2 BPSK with FEC. You have the
FUNcube dashboard software.

* LilacSat-2. Transmits: 9k6 BPSK with FEC, 4k8 GMSK with FEC and
subaudio telemetry with FEC. There is a GNUradio decoder from Harbin
Institute and a modified decoder by me:
https://github.com/daniestevez/lilacsat

* GOMX-3. Transmits 19k2 FSK with FEC. There is a GNUradio decoder in
gr-satellites.

* AAUSAT-4. Transmits 9k6 or 2k4 FSK with FEC. There is a GNUradio
decoder in gr-satellites.

* Some others I'm not so familiar with. We're trying to add support for
more satellites in gr-satellites. Specially for those which are not
supported by other software. I'm open for suggestions on which
satellites you want to see decoded (for GOMX-1 and ?uSat we've tried but
we lack the details about the telemetry format).

Then, Mike DK3WN has a very complete set of programs to analyse the
telemetry:
http://www.dk3wn.info/software.shtml
Also, take a look at his blog to see what one can achieve:
http://www.dk3wn.info/p/

About submitting telemetry online: AO-85 (and future foxes) telemetry
goes to the amsat.org web. FUNcube telemetry goes to the FUNcube data
warehouse. The rest of the satellites go to PE0SAT telemetry server:
http://tlm.pe0sat.nl/

Also helpful, lists of frequencies, modes and satellites:
http://www.pe0sat.vgnet.nl/satellite/frequencies/

I see that you have already gotten some great replies, but it also sounds
like you might be searching for orientation on satellite telemetry reception
in general.

Here is a page that I referred to often when I was getting started (not that
I'm all that advanced NOW!) and besides this specific page, there is an
endless amount of info on that site if you wish to scan the menu options
across the top:

Subject: [amsat-bb] Telemetry Information PLEASE

While awaiting "parts" to assemble my station, I am interested in the
TELEMETRY reception from the birds.  I was looking at the "Leader Board" for
FOX-1A on Amsat.org.  Looking at some of those stations posted there I
noticed that FoxTerm 1.04f software listed, but no TNCs.  Now I am confused.


I believe that the FoxTerm software may decode received audio from the
passes, but what about other satellites.  Is a TNC needed, especially with
the 9600 baud?


I'm sorry, I am trying to figure out HOW to receive and decode the telemetry
signals and just do not comprehend the procedures.  The AMSAT website does
not seem to supply that information, and neither does the "Getting Started
2016" book.


If it is too much to answer here, please contact directly at my email:

I would like to thank Jerry AB5R for asking the question. I've been
confused about this very thing for a very long time. Equal thanks go to the
responders who have posted some of the most enlightening information I've
seen since I took an interest in the birds. There's just not enough time in
the day for an old working man to do adequate research.

Thank You.

When you hover over a block, and the window appears it says

Heard, and then a call, Now is the call, a call that was heard on the
bird,,, or is it the station that simply heard the bird?

Date is self explanatory,

The UTC tho I'm not quite sure what it is telling me.  anyone?

It's the call sign of the station reporting s/he heard the bird.

The call is the person making the report. The UTC listed is the 15
minute time period that the report is from.

A blue "heard" means that both the uplink and downlink was active. A
yellow "telemetry only" means only the downlink was active and the
transponder was not active.

So the time, as seen here,

13:00-:15  I'm assuming that it meant it was heard sometime between
13:00 & 13:15 correct?

so if the station heard it at 13:35  the display would say 13:00-:30  or
how is that working?

If the station heard it at 13:35, they would select 13:30-13:45.

I have three prediction / tracking programs here.

Simple Sat by W9KE
HRD Sat Track
and
Orbitron.

The simplesat and the HRD are perfect, and agree to the second even with
each other.

Orbitron on the other hand, is WAY off. Like 1/2 an orbit off.

it says the tle's up date fine and clocks all say correct time. but the
sat no matter what one I try is like 1/2 an orbit wrong.

Also it does not have NO-84 listed.  How do I get it to see that one too.

I found with Orbitron, the inbuilt TLE downloader did not work for me.

The best source of TLE for Amateur Radio is amsat as it includes
unusual and non listed anywhere else satellites. You can copy and
paste the file here into notepad and then load it using the load
button in Orbitron. Celes Trak and spacetrak do not have all amateur
satellites.

Also make sure your clock synchronisation is working by changing the
computer clock and then correcting it. Compare passes to sites like
heavens above.
