All,

I got some answers from the team in Hungary and apparently the software is _in_deed_ automatically sending the packets to the server over there ! The 'offline' sign in the lower left corner has nothing to do with it:

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the packets!

New TLE from Celestrak: 2012-006C 1 38079U 12006C  12045.91493796  .00003662  00000-0  10000-3 0    77 2 38079  69.4856 235.4820 0781498  42.5136 323.3856 14.05527418  208

The automatic packet report works in background. I checked the logs, and you sent us 561 packet online until now.

Regards, Tibor Mezei

Well there you go. Sent them 560 packets and didn't even know it :) And in another email:

Dear Andy,

Please try to use the telemetry softwares automatic packet sending. It works for a lot of people. Actually the sign "Offline" in the lower left corner of the telemetry window was shown for a future improvement and shows something else. It is misleading, so we will remove it in the next release. Please answer to the ham@cubesat.bme.hu address where my colleague, HA3PL Levi, who is more competent in these topics, will answer to your further reports.

Sincerely,

Zsolt Várhegyi Masat-1 Developer Team

Still doesn't explain why the 'Server side logging' checkbox is unchecked _and_ grayed out. But I guess its all research software very much under development.
