I fired up AGW-Tracker at home before going to bed last night but, unfortuntely, the PC froze at some point before PCSAT came over. However, I was home at lunchtime today to let the dogs out and fired it up again, right in the middle of the 19:15 pass, and copied 1 POS report (AK4KO-2) and 2 messages (N4BAF to J3ISS and W3ADO-15 to BLN0QSLs) at 19:20.
AGW-Tracker lets you copy & send D7(00)-style messages with your soundcard, as well as general APRS packets.

We tried to extend the mission of PCSAT-1 with PCSAT2, ANDE and RAFT, but all of those have limited lifetimes. If you have a mobile D7 or D700 and haven't tried PCSAT-1 during this current recovery period, you should try it. On any good pass, I see as many as a dozen stations and messages on my mobile. Simply tune your D7 or D700 mobile to 145.825 and leave it overnight. Next morning, look to see who all you see on the front panel of the radio. Also check the MSG list.
