How would a Yaesu VX-8D do with FalconSat-3? On Mon, Oct 2, 2017 at 10:53 PM Scott scott23192@gmail.com wrote:
Greetings!
With the arrival of FalconSat-3's 9k6 packet capability, I've been looking at radio options. Perhaps others have, too.
While the Kenwood HT option is great, I would prefer to use my computer. So, if I understand correctly I need a radio with a data port that is capable of handling 9600 data.
And, while FalconSat-3 needs me to transmit on 2m, I'm only considering dual-band radios in anticipation of wanting to transmit 9600 data on 70cm in the future.
The Yaesu FT-7900R is one of the lowest cost dual-band radios that I've seen (new) that has a data port that the manual indicates can handle both 1200 & 9600 packets.
By chance has anyone used this radio for 9600 data at any point?
Or if you don't have first-hand experience w/ the FT-7900R, am I correct that it's a radio that I can transmit a 9600 data stream through from my computer?
Thanks!
