Hi Roy!

I use Orbitron on Windows and the best I can do there is one refresh per
second.

I've not tried FoxTelem w/ HuskySat-1 on linux, but the nice thing about
GPredict is that you can get smoother doppler adjustments by using a
shorter update interval.  I use 1/2 second for doppler tracking w/ GPredict
most of the time.

I guess use what is producing the best result for you, but I've never
noticed that the update interval was a critical factor with various
telemetry decoding efforts.  Much more impactful with HuskySat-1's BPSK
signal is to keep that audio output centered around the 1500 Hz mark.
Fine-tuning your signal during a pass to keep it as close to center as
possible in your 3k passband will produce best results, I think.
