[amsat-bb] Falconsat-3

[Kevin]

Chris,
   both wisp and pacsat sat quietly and ignored everything, a open 
terminal showed the gibberish.
A reboot of windows cleared it up.
    I had been getting tired of USB to serial converters that change 
their comm numbers at times, or suddenly stop working after a windows 
update so I have gone to some PCI-X serial cards.
  And like most PC things not all cards are created equal, the name 
brand more expensive card has quirks and has been removed now, the $12 
quad port Chinese card  is working perfectly, so I will see how it goes 
from here on out, more than likely on both those cards it's not so much 
the hardware but the drivers for 10 that makes all the difference.
