I went with the 9100 instead of the 9700 because I did not want the software
woes.
The only issue I had was finding the 1296 box to go with it. I got mine
good
like new used and still see lots available for sale.

Hi Brad,?You bring up a good point. Many have large investments in
equipment especially that Yaesu AZ/EL rotor.Unfortunately the Icom 9700 may
be out of reach for others because of the cost.

There are a number of satellites carrying FM transponders planned for
launch within the next year:
1. Neutron-1 - Neutron-1 is onboard the ISS and awaiting deployment.
This team presented at the AMSAT Symposium last Saturday and their
presentation can be found at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHDgrI_w8hY&t=11610s
2. The Tevel Constellation - This is a series of 8 CubeSats carryinig
FM transponders planned to launch on the next PSLV launch. They
presented at the AMSAT-UK Colloquium this year and their presentation
can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnZGVY9ZteA&t=5778s
3. CAS-7A & CAS-7C - Planned for launch in May 2021.
4. CAS-5A - Planned for launch in June 2021.

Hi all,?A bit of clarification.? Luther Burbank is located in Burbank, IL; a
Chicago suburb.? Since the students have obviously gone their separate ways
in the 20 years since the contact, we are using Facebook Twitter, and the
AMSAT-BB to try and make contact with them.? ARISS is wanting to celebrate
the 20th anniversary of that contact.? Before trying social media we had
made contact with 4 students and have leads to 3 more.? But it is a slow
go.?Thanks for the help.?73,Charlie Sufana AJ9NOne of the ARISS mentorsARISS

Great contact with N6UA on XW-2D from his grid corner dm84/85/94/95 today.
Uplink was the 3D-printed Lindenblad 70cm, and downlink was on the
"plumber's delight" J-pole.
Thanks for the rover contact, Doug and Ron!

Can anyone tell me why is everyone so hyped up about 9600 baud.

The TS-2000 was discontinued and there's no indication that it will be

A used ICOM 910H might be the way to go, but one can get burned buying
second-hand gear. I'm not familiar with the rigs reliability so maybe
someone who owns one can elaborate.
It appears to be a good performer overall -- not sure about it's 9600

Icom dropped a feature that had been standard on their satellite rigs for 30
years. It?s absence precludes using Falconsat-3 and other 9600 baud digital
satellites. They have been mostly non-responsive about adding it to the
firmware.
Not a big deal if you don?t use digital, but certainly frustrating if you did.

I think you have to look at it though the lens of a Pacsat operator
Gerald. High-speed packet becomes a necessity, especially if you're
going to upload and download larger files.
I think the beauty of store and forward packet satellites like
FalconSat-3 is that you can send messages, images or even a short audio
file to someone just about anywhere in the world and it's all done
through a low-orbit satellite.
