I am confused, which is not an uncommon thing. I have been wanting to try and figure out how to work Falxonsat-3 via my Kenwood D72a. I read Pat Stoddard's AMSAT Journal article but he does not do a step by step per se. I also read KB6IGK and WD9EWKs other article on the same subject. Mention is made on setting "User phrases". Looking at several different D72 manuals, I cannot for the life of me, see how one selects the phrase to use and how that gets into the string that is sent. I see the ability to set several phrases from inside RT systems D72 menu program (Not sure how those get entered in manual radio programming), nor do I see any instructions for sending). I watched a YouTube video of a guy making Falconst APRS contacts, but no explanation on how he got the phrases out.
Wisdom please,
73 and thanks for the patient mentoring.
