[amsat-bb] Funcube-1 decoding

[PA3GUO]

Using a 2x6 elements beam + pre-amp + an FCD, it is possible to decode
packets down to just 0.7 degrees elevation.

Rather impressive.

 

Also I noticed that if I have other CPU intensive SW running (HRD) at the
same time, nothing is decoded, visually it all looks the same on the
FUNcube-1 Dashboard, signal strenghts etc. but somehow it needs PC resources
(memory?) for the actual decoding, because as soon as I closed HRD incoming
packets got decoded, while before none was.
