- Supported protocols: 70cm APRS 1200 baud AFSK, 900MHz featherweight (COTS), 2 meter compatible not advised
- 70cm band specifically kept quiet for us, don't transmit on that frequency unnecessarily at camp, "be courteous"
- Doesn't necessarily have to be COTS
- 900MHz is the "wild west"
- APRS packets can be sent quickly, around at least one second
- Need to register frequencies during frequency registration
- You have frequency priority when on the rail, not cleared to launch unless you have lock
- Recovery:
