[amsat-bb] WORK-AROUND FOUND! RE: ARISSat TLM soundcard selection

[PA3GUO]

OK !

So there is no way to select between either the soundcard (read output from
HDSDR)
or the FCD (which is in the system also a soundcard. 

BUT: here is the work around;
step 1: disconnect the FCD 
step 2: start ARISSatTLM (only th normal sound card is present, which it
selects)
(not: in the Tuning indicator no signal is seen)
step 3: plug in the FCD (into the USB port of the PC)
step 4: start HDSDR
 >>> and now ARISSatTLM shows the output of HDSDR

Voila (the French would say)

Hi Henk,

I totally agree with your suggestion, and to make it easy student is the key
to get the younger generation interested in all these.  I also understand
that the ARISSat-1 team is already working on a page to show the submission
of telemetry, so we shall wait a while and see.
