If you have never tried connecting to a spacecraft in orbit and uploading data, then you are missing out.
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
