Following on from this, are any of the linear transponder designs available anywhere?
I do regular high-altitude balloon launches, and while FM cross-band repeaters are fun to fly, it would be more interesting to fly a linear transponder. Given there are many linear transponders in use on cubesats (some provided by AMSAT I believe), It would make sense to make use of an existing tested design. If I could buy one 'off-the-shelf' that would be better, since I am quite time-poor at the moment, though I realise this might be quite costly!

Bill,
You can view Fox Engineering Data on the AMSAT website. Link is under Projects|The Fox Project
Direct link is

In addition, as an AMSAT member, you can review past issues of the AMSAT Proceedings and The AMSAT Journal archive on our member portal, launch.amsat.org. There's a lot of great information in there.

I am just wondering are any of the stuff in the current Fox Sats opensource? If not, why not? If so, where could I find information on it?
