I want to monitor a few satellites by using my Funcube Dongle Pro Plus on a different computer. I have a spare antenna, an M2 2m440XP ?
I've tried setting the FCDP+ to a frequency with their own controlling device then letting MixW or UISS/Soundmodem listen ... but nothing gets decoded.
Is this even possible?
73,
Are you using the Funcube Dashboard software to tune the dongle?

well, yes, when I am letting Dashboard track and report a pass of AO-73.

You need to use an SDR program like HDSDR or SDR# and a Virtual Audio Cable to feed the audio to MixW, UISS, or Soundmodem.

I got this link: http://www.pe0sat.vgnet.nl/decoding/block-diagram/
and did install a virtual audio cable, Paul. Thanks to PE0SAT for that info.
Now I need tweaking info, hi hi . I saw the ISS earlier with FCDP+/SDR#/MixW3 by using the Virtual Audio Cale's In and Out.
Though 145.825 burst were clearly defined and nicely strong, MixW3 got no decodes.
However, when I used the IC910 thru the other antennas, The Funcube-Lashup into MixW3 did decode my KD7YZ/RS0OSS/CQ packets via the M2-2M-440XP .. as I said, at the moment, ISS was quite strong on a wet noodle.
So The entire process is correctly built,lashed. I just think I need to find out how to boost the audio that is winding up inputted to MixW3.
I guess. What other tweaks to I try?
