[amsat-bb] Falconsat-3 & Wisp

[Scott]

Hi Enzo!

Someone else may be able to help with your exact question, but please know
that you don't HAVE to use the full WiSP suite of software to use the BBS
on Falconsat-3.

What I mean is, you can use your existing software to track the orbit as
well as something like UISS (or an 9k6 APRS-capable HT) to utilize the APRS
digipeater.

For the BBS specifically, only the MSPE component of the WiSP suite is
needed once you have used the GSC application in WiSP to define the
parameters of the satellite and your TNC -or- soundmodem connection.

Here is a link with a great amount of detail on how all the parts work:

And if you would like to see the software work "live", here are a couple of
VERY rough videos that I did to help individuals who have reached out for
guidance on FS-3.  They are not polished like so many of the great videos
out there on Amateur Radio topics, but I'm glad to share on the chance that
they might get you up & running more quickly.
