Hello Everyone,
The http://www.amsat.org web page news has been updated to introduce AMSAT Fox.
-- 73 de JoAnne K9JKM k9jkm@amsat.org Editor, AMSAT News Service
Under the section "AMSAT-Fox planned features include"
It says
"AMSAT's flexible, CubeSat compatible software defined transponder is a new approach providing a robust and reliable radio link for future CubeSats allowing university teams to concentrate on their scientific objectives."
Now although listed under "AMSAT-Fox planned features" that bullet point doesn't have the key word Fox in it.
Can someone clarify if the FM transponder on Fox will be SDX or if that's an aspiration for later CubeSats ?

Hi Trevor,
The AMSAT Fox CubeSat bus will include both an analog FM transponder and a software defined transponder (SDX.) For the Fox mission, we intend to program the SDX for high performance digital modes for our command and telemetry channels but the SDX could be programmed for almost anything including a linear or packet transponder on a follow up mission.

AMSAT-Fox came out as a compromise.
OK, but please lets not call it AMSAT Fox News if we want anyone to trust us.

Interesting comment Bob. Would you care to clarify your meaning?

Bob,
Actually, that would be a good name, since it will be fairly balanced. It has to be, so it won't go all wobbly on us. ;)
