Hi David, I'll let Mark VK5QI field these questions - as he developed all the aspects covered by your questions below.
I should point out that Wenet is a joint effort of many people. While I did some modem and integration work, Mark developed the payload software and hardware, Bill VK5DSP designed the LDPC code, and Brady KC9TPA ported the FSK Modem to C. The Wenet payloads are launched and tracked as part of http///www.areg.org.au club High Altitude Balloon (HAB) activities.
