[amsat-bb] Funcube-1 decoding
Using a 2x6 elements beam + pre-amp + an FCD, it is possible to decode packets down to just 0.7 degrees elevation. Rather impressive. Also I noticed that if I have other CPU intensive SW running (HRD) at the same time, nothing is decoded. Visually it all looks the same on the FUNcube-1 Dashboard, signal strenghts etc., but somehow it needs maybe more PC resources (memory?) for the actual decoding, because as soon as I closed HRD incoming packets got decoded, while before none of them was.

[amsat-bb] Delfi n3xt decoding
Delfi-n3xt decoded fine down to 5 degrees elevation using a 2x6 elements beam + pre-amp + FCD + SDR#. I like the Delfi-nx3xt decoding software (DUDe) a lot. Together with the RAX/Mcubed decoding SW (from James Cutler) this is the best out there for us (IMHO). Compliments to those teams! (due to the format Delfi-n3xt is easer to set up, as you don't need to have the TNC switch to KISS mode) Less tumbling as Funcube-1, I for Funcube-1 I need to switch polarity regular for strongest SNR, Delfi-n3xt is more stable (can leave it in the same polarization all the time).
