At the risk of posting something that is already known, I would agree that
success with 9600 baud is a matter of both a transmit and receive audio/data
bandwidth of 8-12 kHz, which unless that is under SW control in your
particular radio, it can?t be addressed with a FW mod. I have successfully
moded both Yeasu FT-726/736R (many years ago) and more recently, the Icom
970 by accessing the FM discriminator and modulator directly and bringing
those signals via shielded cable to either an added connector on the rear
panel or utilizing unused pins on one of the existing rear jacks, which is
then attached to an external TNC. In the case of the Yeasu, I also changed
the IF filter to wider BW. BTW, that added IF BW in FM mode on the Yeasus
when not using 9600 packet was a compromise for FM voice, but worthwhile for
me. I know that performing surgery on a new expensive radio which is still
under warranty may be scary, but it?s the only answer I have found, and it
actually isn?t an extensive m
od - just soldering the cable(s) directly to the appropriate points. Since
I don?t own a 9700 (still using the IC 970), I haven?t looked at the
schematic to locate the appropriate attachment points, but maybe worth a
look if you can?t find another option and 9600 is critical for you. Here?s a
link to the mod for the 970 for reference as to what is typically required:

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the reminder about modifying older rigs for 9600 baud.? I've
done maybe 4 TS-790S rigs like this over the years.
The "new" IC-970 is an SDR based radio, so there is no FM discriminator
chip or varactor diode to tap!? We are at the mercy of Icom, which
presumably is as "simple" as a firmware update with appropriate
code...doesn't appear they are interested in making this happen.?? If
the FM-D mode in the 9700 worked like the FM-D mode in the 9100, we'd be
set...but alas, it doesn't.
73,
Mark N8MH

K5Z from DL88 was on the 1525Z pass of XW2A running CW so they are on the
air! Good luck to everyone-they were a new grid for me!

Neat view of a rocket launch from space. I suspect this is viewed from

Just starting out to chase the ISS with it's new cross-band repeater.
I've noticed that
for the last 2 weeks, there has not been any FM activity on the ISS_FM
status page. Is there
somewhere I can find out the schedule of it's operations? And likely
when it will be available?
Thanks much!

I'm getting about a half-dozen posts each day. Perhaps you are

I am not subscribed to the mailing list (well, technically I am, I just
choose to not receive either individual posts nor digests). I go straight
to the archive link, here:
https://www.amsat.org/pipermail/amsat-bb/2020-October/date.html
There are no posts shown between Sunday and my post today. This has
nothing to do with my email service. It appears from the archive that
there were no posts during that time. If you are getting half a dozen
posts every day, then something is wrong with the archive.

Yep!
I'll be trying to work the 19:36Z pass of AO-7, followed by the RS-44
