So, it sounds like a true hands off ground station using FoxTelem is not a reality at this point? It would be great if it performed like the Funcube Dashboard program. If I leave the FoxTelem program in Track Doppler mode, then the cursor wanders way off frequency and finds some rf noise and locks itself there. When AO85 comes up the cursor never tracks back. Maybe a limit window like Funcube dashboard has might help?
Also, the signal from AO85 only makes a tiny bump on the visual spectrum scope. The signal I get from AO73 is a huge spike on the spectrum. Maybe being single sideband helps AO73 reception?

Michael, I had the same issue using FoxTelem with Funcube directly. Instead I have HDSDR RF recording from Funcube and feed the recordings to FoxTelem afterwards.

My FoxTelem program never crashes, however it never decodes anything either. I can have a perfect overhead pass and using my FCD+ it sometimes will actually get an eye but never decode anything. The find satellite or Doppler lock is pretty much worthless here. The same setup on AO73 gets solid Doppler locks and decodes packets all the way across the sky. I am always bewildered to hear other users saying they are getting 45 packets or so from AO85. All the rocket science should be out of the way and this part should be pretty straight forward.

As an aside, the FoxTelem program for the Mac requires you to downgrade from the latest Java to V6 - I’d love to work use the app but don’t want to have to replace the latest Java with a lesser less secure version. I know it’s an issue with OS X and am sure the authors would prefer it wasn’t so but w/o some kind of workaround I’m reluctant to mess with it.

I've reported this to the wily programmers.
However, I was wondering if others have their FoxTelem monitoring program crash ... complaining about Java ??
(Java build 1.8.0_65-b17)
A little annoying now since I leave it monitoring/decoding and let SatPC32 track.
I came in both today and yesterday to the window telling me about the crash and the program needs re-start.
I didn't have this problem before the last Java mandatory updates .Now I want a link to be able to roll-back the Win7/64 version I have installed.
