[amsat-bb] AO-92 in Camera Mode

[Hans BX2ABT]

I just received my first HS data from AO-92. Nothing was decoded using 
FoxTelem, but I got the IQ file to play around with. It was a low pass 
for me, so signals were only 20 db over noise using my AirSpy mini. That 
might be too little, although I can receive Falconsat-3 at those levels 
without any problems.

What are the settings to watch out for decoding HS data (deviation, 
soundcard, Foxtelem)? Or should it "just work"? The only difference I 
can see between FS-3 and AO-92 is that audio from GQRX is going out to 
PacSat Ground Station via UDP and Foxtelem gets it from GQRX via a 
virtual audio loop (set in Pavucontrol).

Still exited to receive AO-92 with HS data for the first time. I saw on 
Twitter that JA0CAW did get part of an image, so for him it did work.
