[amsat-bb] FM vs Linear Transponders

I'm thinking about some kind of hardware/software combination kind of like this company's products: https://www.hobbypcb.com/

I have two of their HF and VHF/UHF radios. All frequency control is done via usb and an arduino nano, which I'm sure can be adapted to a phone app. There are a lot of plans for simple SSB transceivers that could probably be combined with that.

I like SDRs too, but then you probably need at least a laptop to get enough computing power to do a good job.

I'm glad you're thinking about this too.
