Re: [amsat-bb] IC-9700 + 9600 baud packet?
Sadly i don’t think that is a fix. Unless Icom releases a new firmware to fix 9k6 bandwidth on xmit, we’re dead in the water on this one. It’s not just a tap in the rig or a TNC issue. It’s an SDR issue in the radio firmware.
If anyone can influence Icom, please do so!!!!!

Charles, A bunch of us spent a long time trying to get this to work, I tried with my Kantronics 9612. Icom was asked many times where the bottleneck is, hardware? firmware? and they refuse to say one way or the other. Their only answer has been that "we" (radio amateurs) should have seen them removing 9600 packet support from the mobile market,so it should have been no big surprise that they removed it from the 9700.

While I have no need for 9K6 on my IC-9700, I certainly understand those that have and yes, if more folks can contact Icom it might help. and I will do that on my end.
Now, having said that, it is also imperative that those folks designing satellites with certain modes of operation take a serious look at *available* hardware/software that is used by a majority of amateur radio operators, if and I say "if" they like a broad response from the community. If not, you can be as esoteric as you like with satellites knowing that you limit their use to a few.
My 2 cents,
