[amsat-bb] SatPC32, AO-85, Icom IC-9100

This post is specific to Icom IC-9100 users.

There have been some ongoing discussions about whether or not to use Narrow FM for uplink or downlink on AO-85. My observation is that Narrow FM (Filter 2) for the downlink works best. For the uplink, I leave Filter 1 enabled.

This is easy to do in your DOPPLER.SQF: AO-85,145980,435175,FMN,FM,NOR,0,0,Transponder

The first FMN will set Filter 2 for your downlink The second FM will set Filter 1 for your uplink.

I've also noticed Filter 3 makes LilacSat-2 sound best but I am unaware of a command via SatPC32 to select that filter automatically.
