Brilliant. After saying it should be on the pacsat list, I did not put it there. I have now. 73,

The original PACSAT software was written by Chris Jackson ZL2TPO/G7UPN.
The open source package was written by Chris Thompson, AC2CZ. I just downloaded his package on GitHub and noticed he made changes in it 8 days ago.
I think people have been working with AC2CZ software on Pacsat.

This all needs to be on the PACSAT list, especially so Chris will see it and so we are openly sharing the info. Unless there is different FalconSat-3 ground software, Chris wrote it as a variant of FoxTelem, and it is totally open source. I don't know of any FalconSat-3 software that we sell, unless that was sometime ago. 73,

Includes some minor changes in wording a spelling change and comments on PACSAT protocol.
I have found some of the info on FalconSat on the web but maybe this needs more understanding.
Probably will make enough changes in the software of PACSAT that the ground station software needs to be different. I think early on AMSAT was controlling the ground station software for some revenue. Will need to decide if it is open source or still controlled.

Thanks for helping me. My skin cancer surgery was simple and provided
a complete cure, but the follow-on plastic surgery to repair things is extensive.
