[amsat-bb] Delfi-C3 server migration - setting change for RASCAL client

[wouter weggelaar]

Hi all,

I would like to clarify on the Delfi-C3 data server settings. When changing
the IP in RASCAL, please only change the PRIMARY IP address, and leave the
secondary as-is. This prevents the server from receiving all packets in
duplicate, slowing down the processing of telemetry.

Our apologies for the possible confusion.
