Thanks, Paul!
Latest version of FoxTelem downloaded and installed. I've downloaded the data from the server and I'm now exploring and analyzing.

Mac,
All of the telemetry can be downloaded and analyzed thoroughly through FoxTelem. There are a number of graphing and mapping features built in and all values can be exported to .csv files for analysis in other software.

Interesting! Didn't know that data was available on line. Is there a more detailed presentation of the data in, say, a spreadsheet for a greater period of time than what is presented? This would be very helpful in performing any detailed analysis. Is all of the telemetry presented on the web page? All data would be valuable in trying to make any correlations. Where in the receive chain is the RSSI measured? Has an attempt been made yet to transmit a strong signal (modulated or unmodulated) during an overhead pass to try to 'nudge the needle' on the RSSI meter? Perhaps successively stronger transmissions could be made to see at what power level any change occurs in the RSSI without applying too much power. I recall someone mentioning approaching an EME operator to attempt transmitting at AO-95 with significantly more power than normal. Why does the 'Battery I32C' indicate 'FAIL' (although I see that this is the same for the other FOX satellites)? 73, Mac Cody / AE5PH On 12/17/18 1:02 PM, H.
