The SatGate appears to be working fine, and it seems to find more unique packets than duplicate ones, so it appears to work. Ultimately I want to package that up with a RPi running XASTIR using a TNC-Pi and a TK-762G as a stand-alone product.
I did put the rig back onto AO-73 for a bit. During a pass this morning around 1400 UTC, I watched 98 packets decode. Dang, I really wanted 100+ But I have a few birdies that show up toward the end of the pass, when Doppler has shifted things pretty low (I’m using SatPC32 to doppler control). Those start to mess with the incoming data.
I also observe that there is still an unaccounted drift towards lower frequencies of about 600 Hz over the length of the pass.
