[amsat-bb] FT2DR and Falconsat-3

[Milen KG2C]

I tried it once and I was able to receive several packets, one of which was
mine, so I assume I got digipeated successfully.
The APRS interface is not the most straight forward (especially composing
messages) but as long as you are not in a rush it is doable.
The radio has a dedicated APRS manual that you can download. Some of the
functionality and UI is unintuitive for APRS (unlike the rest of the menus)
and absolutely requires reading the manual to do.
