[amsat-bb] SDR monitoring/telemetry station

[Simon Brown]

Matthew,

Yes - it is quite some project but I've broken the back of it and tomorrow /
early next week will be transmitting with my FT-991 and receiving with the
Airspy, all controlled via one software package.

Wow, looks like quite a project! That will be really nice to have everything
in one package.

The SDRplay is 12 bit, I believe. Right now I'm going to keep everything
simple as I can. Don't have a place to mount a rotator/array anyways.
