[amsat-bb] AO-85 data

[skristof at etczone.com]

This is very likely the explanation for my lack of data decoding. If
it's only sending two frames at a time, the likelihood of missing data
during a transmission is much higher than when the satellite is sending
dozens of frames in a transmission. 

Thank you.
