Hi Kevin,

If you just want to decode 9600 baud you can use a software TNC like the
High Speed Sound Modem by UZ7HO. I have used that to decode Falconsat just
fine with the UISS software. I think Patrick has an article on that exact
setup.

For FoxTelem data I didn't need any sort of TNC, just the radio's audio
stream feeding directly into FoxTelem. I have a video with just that. You
can use the sound from it to test your own decode. Here's a link to it:

The TNC Pi9k6 would be useful for transmitting though. It is much cheaper
than any other 9600 TNC! I am curious myself if someone has tried to
transmit with it using 9600 baud to satellites like Falconsat-3.
