Re: [amsat-bb] PSAT2 Status and Voice Ops (and reset)
I can make out "K4KDR" in the first message, but not the message itself. Scott, what did you have it say? I tried to make it say "Shall we play a game", no dice. Hopefully somebody can do that in the future. :)

Your updates are very helpful as we learn about the capabilities of this new satellite - thanks Bob! Regarding the text-to-voice, are you saying that we should not transmit messages in that format to the normal 'ARISS' path? If not, then what path should be used for text-to-voice messages? Thanks! -Scott, K4KDR
I just replied to the thread on QRZ.com with some additional info from tonight's passes.
That first digi-talker activation was "7 3 7 3". I posted a couple of tweets for anyone who might be interested in some screen shots & settings that worked for me. On the 0147 UTC pass I even managed to get a regular APRS position packet digipeated.
Here are those tweets w/ screen shots and links to the digi-talker audio:

Well, so much for how it pronounces "now". Fell free to try other spellings to get the sound right. Try "nahow", etc... That's why I had to spell APRS as Aee P RS...
