[amsat-bb] ICOM 9700 on FalconSat-3

[Tony]

Brian:

The Kenwood 710 seems capable with it's built-in modem. Would you happen 
to know if it will work with Falconsat-3 right out of the box?

I believe I used my TS-2000 to work GO-32 with it's internal modem many 
years ago and I'm pretty sure it was plug-n-play.

It's a shame that the TS-2K is no longer being offered. Sorry I sold mine.

Tony
