I copied my first telemetry from FunCube 1 back in 2016 and copied it for several months, on and off. Then I got interested in other things and didn't copy it for a while. Now I am back and have an anomaly that I would like to have some advice on.
For the last few months I have not been very successful in copying telemetry. I seem to be getting good signals with a M2 2MCP22 controlled in AZ and EL. I use an Icom IC-910H for the receiver. I could not get dashboard to reliably auto tune. I use HRD Satellite to tune the rig for doppler set to 145.935. If I set the rig to USB, I don't copy anything. So just playing around I tried CW and can hear the data but still not copy. Then I tried adjusting the RIT and I stated copying. I only adjusted the RIT -0.65.
Should I go back to USB and adjust the frequency to find the signal?
Has the satellite changed from 145.935 or is it something here?
Thanks for your input!

I get the best centered decodes on the SDR at 145.933.200
That holds nicely with the doppler corrections being applied by SDR Console v 3.03
Rx with M2 Eggbeater at 7' and get about 100 frames every decent pass..
I do many unattended passes and get TLM from AO-73 just fine.
