[amsat-bb] IC-9700 and 9600 Baud

[Tony]

John:

I'm aware of the thread but the follow-up question is can it be done? We 
assume that 9600 baud TX can be done with firmware, but is there a 
possibility that the rigs architecture and code are more complex than we 
thought?

That might explain why Icom hasn't responded. Just a thought.

Tony
