[amsat-bb] IC-9700 + 9600 baud packet?

[Stefan Wagener]

While I have no need for 9K6 on my IC-9700, I certainly understand those
that have and yes, if more folks can contact Icom it might help. and I will
do that on my end.

Now, having said that, it is also imperative that those folks designing
satellites with certain modes of operation take a serious look at
*available* hardware/software that is used by a majority of amateur radio
operators, if and I say "if" they like a broad response from the community.
If not, you can be as esoteric as you like with satellites knowing that you
limit their use to a few.

My 2 cents,

Stefan VE4SW
