[amsat-bb] Just wondering. Are any of the modules on curently flying Fox Sats opensource?

[Mark Jessop]

Following on from this, are any of the linear transponder designs available
anywhere?

I do regular high-altitude balloon launches, and while FM cross-band
repeaters are fun to fly, it would be more interesting to fly a linear
transponder.
Given there are many linear transponders in use on cubesats (some provided
by AMSAT I believe), It would make sense to make use of an existing tested
design. If I could buy one 'off-the-shelf' that would be better, since I am
quite time-poor at the moment, though I realise this might be quite costly!
