Thanks Mark, you point out a very good point. Every person that wants to work the sats has to do a little "homework". It is not difficult to read through online help and software menu functions. The same is true for your radio. Browsing the Amsat BB archives for previous Q&As is also a good thing. This is not rocket science but it is also not just plug and play.
