Good Morning.
Getting setup to copy telemetry from HuskeySat-1. Are the Keps for the bird correct in FoxTelem and/or SDRConsol/ satellites?? Is NasaBare.txt correct ?? I can track using SatPC32 w/Foxtelem/ FUNCube Pro or SDRConsol w/wispdde/ FUNCube Pro. Any advice ?? Thank you!!

Nasabare has it with the name HuskySat-1. I'm not sure if that this the name by default in FoxTelem. Just pull down the "spacecraft" menu and look at the top line "Name (for keps)" and change it to HuskySat-1 if it is not that already. After that you should be good.
At this point we are still learning how to work best with FoxTelem. Different people have better luck with the "Costas" decoder or the DP decoder (radio buttons on the top of the main screen). And you seem to need a fairly strong signal at this point. I need a beam and a preamp for example.
No experience with SDRConsole.
Thanks for collecting telemetry! UW and AMSAT are both pleased to get more!

Thanks Burns, I have been trying with the eggbeater antennas + preamp, I can hear the signals but unable to decode. I too think will need a yagi for 435. 73 Nitin [VU3TYG]

Just a couple of observations ...
Different people have better luck with the "Costas" decoder or the DP decoder (radio buttons on the top of the main screen).
Costas seems to be easier to use for me. I'm tracking Doppler manually so it's easier to see a good lock once I get it.
And you seem to need a fairly strong signal at this point. I need a beam and a preamp for example.
I'm using a 7 element yagi, 20 degree fixed elevation with an azimuth rotor. I see from the decoded telemetry that the Forward Power has ranged between 111 mW and 636 mW. Received signal on my end depends a lot on which trees are in the way ;-)
