[amsat-bb] A Little Help Please

[Greg D]

My preference for APRS terminal programs is Lynn Deffenbaugh's APRSIS/32
(http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/).  Haven't used Packet by itself
(non-APRS) in probably a decade...

Note the settings recommended for satellite operation, as different from
terrestrial APRS.  http://aprsisce.wikidot.com/doc:satelliteops

Enjoy,
