Couldn't agree more Chris. Thanks for the update!

I have made some updates to the Pacsat Ground station. This version
- Improves the performance of the core decode loop so that a large
directory does not cause sync issues
- Implements an archive solution for large directories
- Decodes the AL and BL files. Just click on the downloaded file and
see the decoded contents
- Keeps the log file scrolled to end (if you want that)
- Allows arbitrary bytes to be sent to the TNC at startup, in case you
had trouble getting the TNC into KISS mode
- Contains bug fixes for decompressed file handling. It should now be
very reliable and used whenever uploading files, unless they are very small.
- Fixes a bug where the OLD and NEW dates were not set correctly for
multi-part PFHs, causing repeated DIR requests

If you have never tried connecting to a spacecraft in orbit and uploading data, then you are missing out. Now is a good time to try. Feel free to reach out if you need help.
Happy holidays all and 73 Chris G0KLA / AC2CZ
