While I get your pro-open source, and I've plenty code-shared that is, my point was really that its not suited for what dave wants todo out the box, unless he wanted to build in bidirectional audio streaming and other functions that would be needed for using it on linear and FM transponders.
I totally get its open source and a large network, I do have some personal concerns regarding the system, but that really isn't the topic of this email thread.

Sadly Satnogs isn't suitable for the job being it's for telemetry only, amateurs would be better off with a different solution.
You can download every bit of telemetry AND the un-demodulated audio. If AMSAT isn't getting it, they aren't trying. Most of the ground stations are identified in the SatNOGS system by their Amateur callsigns. Look at https://network.satnogs.org/stations/ This is definitely the largest Amateur ground-station network. And since it is Open Source, if it does not do something you wish to do, you can extend it.
Thanks Bruce
