[amsat-bb] Digital modes

["James C. Hall MD" <heartdoc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello:

I was observing the reports when AO-51 was in digital mode and that is 
something I have never done (other than with ISS). So I pulled out my 
Satellite Handbook to check this possibility out. Seems that it is quite 
a bit different than terrestrial packet. I do have a FT-847 that is 9600 
baud ready, but what to plug into it. I have a KAM Plus and a SCS PTC 
TNC/modems but these are not specific for satellite PSK. It seems that 
from my reading PacComm has been an early leader in this.

What say the digital bird gurus ?
