Hi Henk. I've had some issues with decoding BPSK too. Worked fine on the first day, then unable to decode anything. Eventually I reloaded the software and played a wav file through the system. Finally it began decoding again. I don't really know what the problem was. It still will not send tlm via the internet and I can't get sound out...Hence the wav files.
Problem is the wav file I have is large so I cant send it to you to try. Perhaps some one has 30 seconds worth that does decode, then we can use that as a standard to check our systems. I've been tracking doppler by hand. Seems to work OK but it's very important to keep the CW in the 'blue' window. I would think jumps would not be good. Perhaps frequent doppler updates. - So very small jumps. I also heard HB9 last night on the transponder, but in low power mode (45 sec)that is difficult. - I'll wait for some daylight passes.
