Way to go ! 
Assuming you are using the dreaded L***x 'os , could you tell me what
software you are using to decode telemetry ? , also are you using OSS or
ALSA drivers for your soundcard ?

Of course I guess I should go check out the amsat site , I suppose all
the answers are right under my nose ;^)

I'm gonna have crawl up on my roof and put my dish up there before I can
hear anything from ao-40 , unfortunately I have a neighbor directly
south of me that built a huge metal sided garage last year and its just
like a brick wall to ao-40 :^(

So ground mount is out !

Ah , what we hams put ourselves through to hear little squeeky signals
out of the ether ;^}
