Recommendations for the software TNC:
- direwolf [for AX.25 @ 1k2 AFSK, 2k4, 4k8, 9k6 FSK]
- gr-satellites
- SoundModems by UZ7HO
The last two decode additionally BPSK and special frame formats.
If you plan on contributing to SatNOGS, please think about integrating your groundstation into the SatNOGS network or to occasionally upload received frames to SatNOGS database using something like GetKISS+ or gr-satellites uploader.
The ICOM 9700 is not capable of 9k6. Please consider using for example an ICOM 9100 instead.
You would also need a software for tracking the satellites to correct the doppler shift and move your rotator. I prefer Gpredict.
