[amsat-bb] Re: AO51 L/U 96k BBS

[Samudra Haque]

hi, I am a novice satellite operator, but an experienced HF, VHF/UHF ham.

I have just finished studying AO-51 systems in detail, and want to
move on from voice comm to digital modes. For 96 kbps, is there any
specific TNC/Modem/Combo hardware that is required, or highly
recommended ?  Will the same hardware work with other baud rates ?

Can you point me to a reference online ? I have the introductory books
by ARRL on satellites, but they don't really have any specific
information about the hardware (sources, price) , only its
utilisation. My apologies if this is covered on the AMSAT website
already.

BTW, I am based near Alexandria, VA and am going to design a AZ-EL
auto-rotator and antenna array for AO-51 as a project, which could be
interesting.
