RE: [amsat-bb] Question about the IC-910H on satellite Pt 2

[Emily Clarke <emily@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I left out one very important step.  Please add steps 5 and 6 to the below 
list:

5) Turn the squelch all the way off.  If you have the DSP installed, set it 
to 1 or 2.
6) Turn the main band pre-amp ON
