[amsat-bb] ISS Packet Format

[Scott]

Hi Gerald.

I was wondering about the meaning of those Q-constructs in packet log files 
just the other day.

This link spells them out:

As for terminal software, I use UISS on a Windows PC but technology is 
catching up with us and many people are having success with radios (HT's in 
particular) that have APRS / packet capability built in.

I just finished reading JoAnne Maepaa's (K9JKM) excellent PDF on ISS packet 
operation.   Thank you JoAnne.


Couple of questions, please:


1)     What "Terminal Emulator" do members use?


2)     Looking at the examples in her PDF I noticed "qAR and qAS."  What are 
these terms?


It has been at least 10 years since my brush with packet.  I have to really 
REBOOT my brain, for sure.


Thank you & 73,

Jerry  AB5R
