Hi David,
> Does anyone know of any plans for data only radios (xcvrs)?
In the OZ7SAT PacSAt group we have a side project named Acousto which is
exactly this. Here is a translation of the first paragraph of the Danish
description:
"To develop a dedicated data radio which is specially tailored for both
terrestrial data (packet) and satellite usage for speeds up to at least
9600 baud. The project is nicknamed Acousto and has been described in
AMSAT-OZ Journal no. 18 (September 1993)."
Assuming that you neither have access to AMSAT-OZ Journal nor read
Danish, I can mail an English resume to you, if you are interested.
