Hi Mark,

Thanks for the comments.

Would it be possible for you to give me more detailed information as to what I need.

I have looked at DL3WN's site, do I need to install AGWPE etc??

Advice please

Best wishes

Ross

Great, Ross. Welcome to the addiction :) So many protocols/decoding schemes/wearhouse/data collection methods. I suggest you can find a wealth of information here: http://www.dk3wn.info/p/ Mike also offers many software solutions for helping to collect and decode...

Hope you enjoy this aspect of the hobby! I know I do...just not enough radios, antennas, and computers to do them all ;)

The Fox satellites are easy, I can receive and decode them perfectly.

I would like information on how to find software to decode the various protocols such as 1k2, 4k2, 9k2 BPSK and 9k6/19k2 GMSK etc.

I have beams suitable for EME on 144 and 432 so receiving the

satellites is no problem.

I hope someone can assist me.

Hi Ross,

I'm curious what rig(s) you are using?

Jan and Scott both give good advice and pointers to very helpful information. Getting all the software decoders to work is like solving puzzles--some are big pieces and easy to assemble (Fox family, Funcube family!) and others can have 1,000 little pieces that can take quite a while to fit together. Be patient and enjoy the assembly!

At the risk of making the waters even muddier, there is also MultiPSK to look into. Take time to explore each (AGWPE, UZ7HO, MultiPSK) as one might suit your specific needs and interests.

73,

Hi Ross,

No you don't need to install AGWPE, there are also other options like UZ7HO sound-modem software.

Scott has mentioned a block diagram that I made, have a look and see how far you can get with that.

One final remark regarding telemetry reception, watch out because this is addictive ;-)

Thanks Scott,

The information re the details from PE0SAT will be a great help.

I am sure I will need more help though, it is "lonely" down here, having this type of interest.

Mark is right on - the DK3WN website is full of helpful info and software.

Another great site that does a nice job familiarizing you with the concept of several pieces of software all working together is:

http://www.pe0sat.vgnet.nl/decoding/block-diagram/

... plus you'll find lots of other useful information on Jan's website in addition to that one page.
