[amsat-bb] Re: Starting out on packet mode

Hello Ciaran,

Being a relative "newbe" to the hobby, I am trying to find information on using packet data with the likes of the ISS and other AO satellites.

I have a packet "quick setup guide" at: http://home.comcast.net/~k9jkm/ARISS_Packet_How_To/

This discusses contacting ISS with an external hardware TNC. Hopefully others can point you toward the tips and tricks of sound card packet setups.

The web page at http://www.ariss.net/ provides a convenient ISS packet log so you can review activity. http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/pcsat.cgi is a similar log for PCSAT (NO-44) but its been a couple of weeks since we got a brap from that bird.
