Friday evening - LilacSat-2, AO-85 (yes!!!), and SO-50...
Patrick,
I downloaded your RF recordings and was able to decode 41 telemetry payloads from your 0130 UTC pass by playing your recording out from HDSDR at 96000 output bandwidth and piping the audio to FoxTelem. That's a LOT more than I was able to decode on my own downlink at home. Since you were using the Elk antenna and able to twist for polarity fades, your receive signal was much better than mine hence more decodes.
I would think that for anybody using an SDR other than the FunCUbe Dongle that recording the RF then playing back as audio into FoxTelem would provide a solution to the incompatible .wave file sample rates (192K vs 200K).
Thanks,

Brad,
Guess I need to break down and install one of those programs for the virtual audio cables. Which of those software packages are you using?
If you were able to decode 41 packets from my RF recording last night... wow! Time to get that software running on my Windows 10 tablets, before heading off to the AMSAT Symposium next week, and see if the SDRplay receiver does that well with the data on other AO-85 passes.
Thanks, and 73!
