[amsat-bb] Telemetry Information PLEASE

[Paul Stoetzer]

The FoxTelem manual doesn't quite detail how to decode telemetry from
AO-85 in a step-by-step fashion, but it does layout the various
options.

A TNC is not needed. You need either an FM receiver capable of
supplying unfiltered audio (marketed as 9600 baud capable) or an SDR
(like a FUNcube Dongle or SDRPlay).
