[amsat-bb] Decoding telemetry data

Hi Ross,

I'm curious what rig(s) you are using?

Jan and Scott both give good advice and pointers to very helpful
information.   Getting all the software decoders to work is like solving
puzzles--some are big pieces and easy to assemble (Fox family, Funcube
family!) and others can have 1,000 little pieces that can take quite a
while to fit together.  Be patient and enjoy the assembly!

At the risk of making the waters even muddier, there is also MultiPSK to
look into.  Take time to explore each (AGWPE, UZ7HO, MultiPSK) as one might
suit your specific needs and interests.

73,

Mark N8MH
