[amsat-bb] IC-9700 & FoxTelem 1.08p

Thu Oct 31 17:30:30 UTC 2019

Kevin,

My shack computer runs WIN7 64 bit sp1.  I installed a fresh copy of 1.08p on my WIN10 64 bit computer, version 1903 build 18362.356.  I made no changed to the FoxTelem defaults except to put in my callsign and other information to keep it happy.

First I ran the file through Raised Cosine using the defaults.  25 frames.  I deleted the log files, switched to Windows Sinc using my standard 1440 length.  25 frames.

No idea what I might be doing different.  Usually I am the one who has the odd problem.

73,

Alan
WA4SCA
