AMSAT-LU is in its last phase for the launch of VOXSAT 1, its next satellite

The satellite will carry the following modes:
1 Cross Band FM repeater, (like AO-27), UHF up / VHF down.
2 Parrot UHF up / VHF down.3 Broadcast Voice, FAX, SSTV, (like Sputnik 41).
4 CW Telemetry (using an FM carrier).
The VHF output power for the downlink repeater TX is two watts, and four
