This is a quick note to say that FoxTelem Version 1.04 is being released.
There is a lot in this version so I have written some blog posts to
summarize new features.  See below.

You can download FoxTelem for your platform from one of these links:

http://amsat.us/FoxTelem/mac/FoxTelem_1.04f_mac.zip


Broadly speaking the changes fit into the following categories:

1. Full support for Fox-1Cliff, Fox-1D and RadFXSat including better High
Speed decoding and a better find signal algorithm.

2. Additional analytical capabilities so you can plot one telemetry
variable against another.  I hope this will inspire more people to analyze
the telemetry from the spacecraft and post comments on what they see.  I
have put some of my own thoughts online here:

3. Enhanced tools to analyze your ground station with SkyPlots for
satellite measurements like Signal to Noise ratio and graphs for pass
measurements. Skyplots in particular need a bit of explanation, so I have
written more details here: http://www.g0kla.com/foxtelem/skyplot.php
