Hi Lynn,
Many thanks for your comments.

Yes,
Kevin, point made. The only way we can change that is by working
closely together with these projects and having a tangible influence
in their hardware and software development. Out of curiosity, I always
wondered why AMSAT would not offer semi complete communication
packages, (Data, Rx, Tx)
