It was Qikcom-2 I was reading about... Maybe WB4APR can update us on the status of the former... http://aprs.org/qikcom-2.html

It is fully integrated and will launch on the same launcher as the two AMSAT FOX satellites no sooner than August.

Great to hear!

We will probably leave the DIGI off and leave it in DTMF and Voice mode due to so many unattended worthless beacons on the uplink that would cut into useful live human contact time...

For whatever reason, the DTMF thing really intrigues me so I am really looking forward to trying it.
