Is Husky-1 transmitting telemetry every pass? I could hear it yesterday OK but it was a high elevation pass a few min ago & heard nothing.
Secondly, if someone posts up a good audio recording we should be able to replay it with our own FOX-1 s/w and decode frames, is that a correct assumption?
Thanks everyone!

Yes, it is in a mode where it is transmitting telemetry continuously. It has been very reliable for me (I have a beam that tracks it) that every pass I've watched, I've seen the downlink. That said, there are a lot of reasons why you might not get a good decode, chief among them a somewhat weak signal and FoxTelem very slightly off in frequency, maybe due to an old set of keps.

Yes, a good audio recording should decode, especially if it is recorded directly from, say, HDSDR. I don't know about recording it with a microphone/speaker or even hardwired from a radio. Anyone have any experience with doing it that way?
Thanks everyone!
