Set the radio to USB, as you would do for normal audio QSOs

Make sure the audio from the radio is fed to the dashboard software. You should see it in the waterfall display.

Find the satellite and manually tune Doppler to see if you can get decodes and get familiar with the sound.

When that works, then try the Doppler tracking.

It should sound / look like this when on frequency.

I am trying to get telemetry from funcube -1 AO 73 satellite.i have taken real time pass but only beacon sounds are received.

I have installed USB audio driver for ICOM 9100.

I have set CI-v to 19200 .I have correctly configured ICOM 9100 for Doppler setting in satpc32.

AO 73 satellite dashboard is set for capture from sound card. Dashboard Input is set to USB audio driver.

I am unable to find problem why AO 73 satellite telemetry is not being received by its dashboard software.

I have taken many high elevation angle passes more than 70degree but telemetry i is not being received.

Anyone please help may be ICOM BPSK 1200 mode is not set but I don't know because display on the ICOM screen doesn't Show BPSK written. Only USB main band

Lsb sub band is written on the screen of ICOM.

Which mode is used for BPSK demodulation.how to know that ICOM is sending the satellite Signal to dashboard software. Where to set bpsk baud rate of 1200 in ICOM.

Any help I am depressed I have taken five to six passes of Real time during Day time.i have asked amsat UK and they also confirmed that the AO 73 is transmitting telemetry in Day passes.

Please guide which other satellite can be tried for telemetry download and which software can be used for their telemetry decoding.

Very thankful for help

Regards
