FM repeater as amateur radio payload.

Description

The project has been possible with engineering and financial support of the private sector along with Universities in Spain. HADES-D will offer licensed radio-amateur around the world the opportunity to relay FM voice and AX.25 / APRS 300 / 1200 bps communications.

The satellite will also transmit telemetry with its status and voice and CW messages. This all will be achieved by implementing a SDR based FM and FSK repeater. The FM / FSK repeater is available all the time and opened by squelch level without the need of a subtone. Proposing a V/U FM transponder with also FSK data, AX 25 APRS and CW capability.
