PCSAT-2  10 meter receiver debugging

Bob, WB4APR reported some progress toward solving the mysterious lack of sensitivity on the PCSAT2 10 meter PSK-31 uplink.

Two stations testing on the 10 meter uplink noticed as one of them drifted lower in frequency they could see PCSAT-2's PSK signal appear on the MIXW waterfall display.

PCSAT-2's 10 meter receiver may have shifted around 3.6 KHz lower than originally configured.

PCSAT-2 was retrieved from its position outside of the ISS during a space walk this week. It will be returned to Earth for further analysis.
