[amsat-bb] Satellite radio's query

[George Carr]

I have been using the 9100 for a few years now for my hamsat contacts. It
interfaces very well with SatPC32 and I am very pleased with it. yuo made a
very wise choice for the hamsats!
I even purchased the 1.2 gig module in anticipation. And the DStar module
as well. Bring them on! I am ready!
