[amsat-bb] Re: "High Q" CTCSS tones?

[Greg D.]

Hi Gordon,

Ok, that makes two of us with the same guess.  If so, then it only affects the Receive side of the rig, so for turning on the Transmit side 67hz tone for getting into AO-51, it shouldn't matter which one I use.  Easier to program if I can just use the first one I find in the table...

Thanks,

Greg  KO6TH
