Just a couple of observations ...

Costas seems to be easier to use for me. I'm tracking Doppler manually 
so it's easier to see a good lock once I get it.

I'm using a 7 element yagi, 20 degree fixed elevation with an azimuth 
rotor. I see from the decoded telemetry that the Forward Power has 
ranged between 111 mW and 636 mW. Received signal on my end depends a 
lot on which trees are in the way ;-)
