Hi Bob,
I think it's safe to say that we won't be running S-band. We haven't planned that far ahead, but I expect we'll be in mode V/U simply because of eclipses and the battery.
Or we could run 9600 baud packet instead :)

Field day will be here before we know it. Last year we had AO-51 with mode S activated. What if any plans are there for this year? With the power budget as it is what can we plan on? 73 Bob W7LRD Seattle _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
