[amsat-bb] FUNCUBE-1/AO-73 reception issue
I don't know what I am doing wrong but so far I have failed to hear FUNCUBE let alone decode. I seem to have the correct keps as I see station near me uploading. Am using a radio not a dongle 145.935MHz USB mode is what I am using as settings. Is that correct or have I made a mistake Steve Daniels Amateur Radio Callsign G6UIM APRSISCE/32 Beta tester and WIKI editor http://aprsisce.wikidot.com ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
