A laptop and an Arduino and a radio?\n\nReally curious what you think; I expect you have a very learned opinion.\n\n-- bag\n\nBryan KL7CN/W6\n\nOn Nov 18, 2015, at 15:28, Phil Karn <[email protected]> wrote:\n\n\n> AMSAT NEWS SERVICE SPECIAL BULLETIN\n> ANS-321\n\n> Downlink audio is 5 kHz deviation, as expected.

I've made it\nclear that this is my last telemetry design for an analog spacecraft.\nIt's past time for AMSAT to move into the all-digital era.\n\n--Phil, KA9Q\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
