[amsat-bb] AO-73 Telemetry

[Greg Walls]

I copied my first telemetry from FunCube 1 back in 2016 and copied it for
several months, on and off. Then I got interested in other things and didn't
copy it for a while. Now I am back and have an anomaly that I would like to
have some advice on. 

 

For the last few months I have not been very successful in copying
telemetry. I seem to be getting good signals with a M2 2MCP22 controlled in
AZ and EL. I use an Icom IC-910H for the receiver. I could not get dashboard
to reliably auto tune. I use HRD Satellite to tune the rig for doppler set
to 145.935. If I set the rig to USB, I don't copy anything. So just playing
around I tried CW and can hear the data but still not copy. Then I tried
adjusting the RIT and I stated copying. I only adjusted the RIT -0.65.

 

Should I go back to USB and adjust the frequency to find the signal?

Has the satellite changed from 145.935 or is it something here?

 

Thanks for your input!
