[amsat-bb] Weather sat imaging

[Peter Goodhall (2M0SQL)]

Steve,

Could be a few things, with SDR# running is the audio choppy through the
speakers? you could lower the sample rate of the SDR also to see if that
helps

If the audio isn't choppy then it could be that there are not enough system
resources so your getting dropped packets, I have that issue on an old
desktop I use for wxsat decoding so I have turned off the main waterfall
and spectrum display in SDR# which sorted it for me.
