[amsat-bb] Foxtelem and Kenwood TM-V71 signal to noise ratio

[John Brier]

Oh interesting. I didn't consider that. I will see if I can hook the
radio into my laptop directly, or try another recorder, though my
other recorder does 44.1 KHz only, not 48 KHz like the manual says is
ideal.

Thanks Paul.
