How are people decoding telemetry and packet these days?
Found some software that looks like it'd work, but curious, what software, cable/interface the 'cool people' are using. I have TS-2000 and Windows.

Hello!
I've referred many people to these pages which outline the various software tools depending on whether you prefer Windows or linux:

Trying to figure out the hardware side. Maybe wiring the ports on that 13 pin connector on the TS2000 directly to a USB sound card, PTT to a USB serial card port, and then using a USB ground isolation dongle to separate grounds? Seems like that would work. Worst for me is soldering those connectors.

Hello Cathryn,
I have been using a USB and CAT interface purchased off eBay, that is from www.xggcomms.com It isn't cheap (like $70), but it is mostly plug and play--USB connection provides sound card and COM port, and cabling. Here is why I say "mostly" plug and play: I had to open up the box and bypass the audio so it would work properly on the Fox satellites for telemetry; as shipped the low frequency audio needed for Fox telemetry wasn't making it to the PC, it was being filtered out. I honestly forget---I think I just lifted a wire and resoldered to bypass an audio transformer....
Anyhow, I currently use the above interface with a TS-2000x for both Fox satellite telemetry and 9600 baud packet on Falconsat-3. Nice device and I'm satisfied--you might explore.
73,
Mark N8MH

While investigating doing mods on existing interfaces, found this absolutely awesome work done by this guy to improve Signalink USB interfaces. He's not doing 9600 baud, but is illuminating.
