[amsat-bb] FoxTelem Program & RTL820T Dongles

After reading the manual from FoxTelem, I decided to thy the 192KHz wide
suggestion they made ... the intent being to use SDR-Console/Satellite
and the RTL820T Dongle.

SDRC/Satellite is unable to auto-switch to the next in a list of Sats so
making a bandwidth big enough to take in the lower end of one to the
upper end of the others means, technically, 'set and forget' .

I never did understand though where the Find-Sat "switch" was. I was
hoping a strong signal somewhere in the bandwidth, which I could see was
wide enough to cover the 4,  would be enough to make the FoxTelem
program seek out the Sat and decode it.

I'd hoped to be able to activate the programs overnight and collect from
85 91 92 95 .

It didn't work out. Though in testing, I could visually see the
Telem/Signal come up.

So is anyone using this combo willing to give me some pointers?

Thanks
