And you all are doing a fabulous job. The only thing I remind my peers of is that people spend their own money and their valuable free time tapping their toes gleefully anticipating success and participation. I've been amongst the , now reformed, guilty. I don't do the answers as I'm too busy, but I support the need. We need more volunteers who want to support the engineers in this but must be trusted to help and not hinder.
Having done this stuff for years, let me admonish users to remember that if you have a critique or question something, please approach it as if the engineer has already considered it and dealt with it and you'll find a willing conversationalist. We're all proud of our work and, no, we don't always get it right. But you can generally assume we've tried really hard to. Don't come into our house and toss the furniture about. You won't find us willing hosts to have you at our table.
Respectfully and 73s, Bob N4HY

A work in progress, one thing for consideration is that Chris also has to work with me to provide versions that do Fox-1Cliff/D for our testing of those as well as providing us the way to reliably get data to and mine data from the server as we check out AO-85, so his time is divided. The plus to that is that we are expecting releases before 1Cliff/D that will provide automatic slow/high speed data switching and better performance as you all provide feedback to help him learn what needs tweaking. Testing FoxTelem on the ground with a satellite 3 feet away or using a recording isn't the real deal of course, so just like with the performance of Fox-1A AO-85 on orbit there are things to be learned about real world performance of FoxTelem.
Remember - it's a hobby. :-)
Thank you for your support.

I too am FCDP+ straight to the 2m antenna
As for FoxTelem not being totally hands-off. (A) the "Implementors" are/will fix that with the soon-here next release.
(B) they also told me, or all of us, that irrespective of the Java crash, data collection goes on; data is stored; next re-start of PGM, the data is uploaded.
So I ain't no more gonna worry 'bout it.
