ft 857 data dowlink/.9600 baud sat settings
hi folks, anyone out there have a ft 857 and are using it for data downlink @ 9600 baud?
Tested my rig with a far off station yesterday and he copied me fine on the xmit but I did not copy him. Could it be my tnc settings? anyone have a list of good 9600 baud sat setttings.
still no-go with go-32 and it went right over my head. darn.

I have used my FT-897 with an hardware TNC (TNC7Multi), and I have no trouble receiving 9600 bps telemetry from AO-51 and packets from GO-32. My radio was in PKT mode and I set the PKT Rate menu option to 9600.
It's important to follow the manual and connect to the 9600 bps pin on the Data connector and not the 1200 bps pin. The 1200 bps signal is the processed audio after filtering, where as the 9600 bps signal comes right off the radio's discriminator. The audio filters are too narrow for the 9600 signal.
Good luck.
