[amsat-bb] Delayed Telemetry Decoding

[Loren M. Lang]

Normally, I decode telemetry live from the satellite and upload it
immediately. I have an RTL-SDR attached to my Android phone and use
SDRTouch to demodulate the FM signal feeding the headphone out to my laptop
running FoxTelem to decode the frames and upload it through my home's Wi-Fi.

However, with the weather turning and the difficultly of getting everything
set up, I was wondering if there are any issues with recording the audio or
IQ signal on my phone during the pass and feeding it into FoxTelem from my
phone later. Does it use my computer's local time or expected to be the
live stream, or does it just rely on the time stamp in the decoded packets
for ordering the telemetry data whenever it's received?

And on that, if I can decode later, is there a time limit I should follow
for decoding older data? If I captured a satellite pass in the morning
before leaving for work, but didn't feed it into FoxTelem for decode until
the evening when I get back home?

And lastly, I know it's a different group operating it, but I'm curious if
it's a similar policy for AO-73, the first FUNcube sat for decoding packets
delayed from their capture time.

Thanks for the info!
73s,
