Cruising with the family during the Symposium would be a great way to partake of the meetings while the rest of the family could enjoy the amenities of the cruise .I have personally take 5 cruises including the Baltic Sea cruise to Russia. I have thoroughly enjoyed all of them and for a family outing they can't be beat. The prices are not much more than a hotel but where else can you get all the free food while enjoying foreign lands and scenery while partaking of the meetings !! I don't know why this subject was not brought up before !! Great Idea Clayton !! JACK- KC7MG

> Thanks to Clayton, a non-board member, just a regular member like the rest of us who stepped up to the bat to have us try something new. I remember when amateur satellites were new to me. It was exciting and different - like this new venture. I am sure that, with all of the quantitative expertise on the board, AMSAT has evaluated the cost-benefits of this venture and it passed.

> For the IC-910 you need to use the same port and pin as used for 9600 full duplex satellite mode packet. I *think* it's MAIN data port pin 4----but do NOT trust me :) Too many radios, and too many flip-flops of main vs. sub on the different radios. Make sure menu settings are proper for 9600 satellite packet, too, or the audio won't be coming from the right source.

However, an external Apple USB audio dongle device will NOT work--it cuts off the lowe frequency and won't print any telemetry.
