    "content": "Greetings & Happy Holidays to all,\n\nAfter a 3yr hiatus, (IC910 sold   & packed away G3RUH dish & patch ant &\ndown converter after AO-40 died - plus I moved from ZL-land to VE7-land\nwhich was a big distraction), I recently decided to get back into chasing\nbirds.  One of the deciding factors was my neighbour lost several big cedar\ntrees in his back yard in last year's wind-storms and I gained 120 deg of\nunobstructed sky to the SW as a result! Re-joined AMSAT last month & signed\nup to the BBS to watch & learn now I have a question to ask.\n\nHope to start with LEOS (i.e. Echo) and other easy-sats, to get my skill\nlevel up.  Seems to be absence of VE7s on Vancouver Island to ask for help\nbut I'm taking the plunge anyway!   Ordered a IC-910 & 23cm module & UHF\npreamp as my Xmas present to myself, still waiting on Icom Canada to\ndeliver, but soon!  Starting out simple with an Arrow 2m/70cm antenna & a\n23cm loop yagi at a fixed 40deg angle, on a cheap TV rotor, with some good\ninfo from Chip W7AIT who sent me all kinds of emails (thanks Chip!).\n\nMy question is, I want to try packet/data on sats once the IC-910 arrives.\nHave an old AEA PK-900 1200b TNC on the shelf unused.  Wondering if its a\ngood idea to spend the $$ to get Timewave upgrades to give it 9600b\ncapability?  OR perhaps better to pick up a new KPC-9612PLUS  for about the\nsame $$?  The brochure I read indicates the 9612 goes up to 34000 baud?\nReally? Or are there other off-the-shelf options I'm not aware of that are\nbetter? Want to give myself maximum flexibility for present & future birds\non packet, but not too complex, a radio engineer I'm not.\n\nI've ordered the AMSAT Digital Sat handbook a month ago, along with some\nother books from the AMSAT store and they haven't arrived yet. But this is\nmore a real-world type question where I'm looking for answers from people\nwho've had experience with working sats and can recommend packet gear to buy\nor tncs to stay away from?  Don't mind putting some time & effort into it,\nbut an off-the-shelf solution would work best for me.  Suggestions anyone?\n\nHoping to be on the air soon from CN88!\n\nThanks & 73,\nKevin  VE7OVY \n\n\n",
