Re: [amsat-bb] Copying ECHO on D700 front panel

[Emily Clarke <emily@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bob,

I have to say that since the ISS and the 2 PCSATs have different 
digipaths it's become a real pain for me to keep switching software 
around all the time.  I'd like to work every digital bird, but since 
there isn't a universal callsign so I don't have to instantaneously 
edit some field here or there it's not much use.

It would be really nice if every sat would respond to a fixed set of callsigns:

SAT-01 - bbs
SAT--03 - digipeater
etc.

Mostly I set up my system for ARISS - I don't want to do that 
exclusively, but without a unified satellite digi it's not fun.  I 
don't have the time to keep re-programming my transceiver's digipath 
for the sat-du-jour.

73,

Emily
