[amsat-bb] Fox telemetry software question

   I have the telemetry software up and running on my Mint (latest
version 19) Linux machine.  It only provides tracking for AO-85, and I
read the note on the first pages of the manual about tracking other
satellites about the file names.  I'll take another look at the manual
tomorrow, but I would like to have the tracking info on the screen for
the other satellites listed.  The .tle file I did find was named
Fox1.tle (as I recall), I added others under AO-XX.tle where AO-XX is
the name listed on the GUI control panel, but apparently it isn't
recognized as there is no change.  No doubt there is a quick fix.

   Another question, would the occassional telemetry upload to amsat
from my QTH grid square DP22 be of any use?

   The receivers at the moment are a FT-726R, or an Icom R-7000 using
the recorder audio output.  When I get the software sorted out for an
SDRPlay 1A I may use that instead.
