[amsat-bb] Re: CO-65 digipeater success, sort of

[Alan P. Biddle]

In looking around for information on 9600 baud GMSK, I find many reviews
dating back to the 1990s, and explanations on satellite project web pages,
that it is compatible with K9NG/G3RUH 9600 baud modulation.  IF that is
correct, it should work with a strong signal.  I recall (?) there is a
penalty amounting to a db or so.  Perhaps one of the digital experts can
clarify this?

The UHF and VHF uplink and downlink use GMSK modulation:

CO-65 GMSK 9k6 digipeat

GMSK is now scheduled on every weekend over the world wide.
You can digipeat via CO-65 GMSK 9k6.

In Cute-1.7 + APD II, we provide the following services using 1200MHz uplink
and 430MHz downlink, on a trial basis.

   1. Real-time relay communication service
   2. Message box service

1267.6MHz high-speed packet communication (GMSK-9600bps) is used for uplink.
437.475MHz high-speed packet communication(GMSK-9600bps) is used for
downlink.

The GMSK modulation is used in the D-STAR radio with the AMBE codecs i don't
know if the CUTE data can be decoded in the digital data 
frames with the Icom D-STAR radio?
