The beauty of the APRS packet text-messaging relay cubesat is
that it can have a 10 times higher power transmitter compared to
an FM voice transponder for the same average power budget. This
makes it workable on an HT with just a whip antenna, instead of
needing a handheld beam. Plus, each message takes one second
instead of 15 for each QSO.
So that is why I prefer handheld packet text messaging as a
cubesat mission. Ten times the downlink power budget and 15
times the number of contacts per pass.
AO51 downlink could be 10 times as strong if the transmitter
would just drop when not in use...

The utility of OSCAR numbers as a primary naming reference has
long past.
For the past several years I think we should be referring to the
new plethora of small sats by their NAME and not by their oscar
number. Of course they still get oscar numbers and OSCAR
numbers are still a real badge of honor, and point of pride but
they are no longer practical as a naming convention for keeping
track of all the things we have up there.
Who remembers what OSCAR 45 was? Or now, the difference between
AO79, KO98, or PO77? Or what was AO43 or 45?
I suggest that we encourage a "common_name [?O-##]" convention.
We tried to encourage this by always referring to PCSAT as PCSAT
(NO44) back in 2001. Heck, I don't even remember the number for
my own RAFT satellite without going back and looking it up. I
was very proud to get these OSCAR numbers, but to me, they are
and always will be PCSAT and RAFT, the 44th and 4?th Amateur
Oscar satellites. Of course owners are free to choose whatever
naming they prefer, but they should not be lead to believe by
defualt that once they get an OSCAR number that their favorite
nickname will disappear...
These satellites have unique and interesting personalities.
They are NOT just numbers. Just seralizing them leads to the
sterotyping by grumpy OM's as just a bunch of bleepsats, when in
fact, they are labours of love, with all kinds of experiments
and sometimes quirks with deep ties to their teams and operators
who have carefully named them with pride.
Just my $2 worth.

The 1200 bps Pacsats used an uncoded BPSK downlink on 70 cm and worked fine
with 1/4-wavelength vertical antenna on the ground. As I remember, they only
generated 1 watt of RF. A 2-meter downlink using an error correcting code
would give 4 times the data rate with the same power. Digital voice now fits
in 1200 bps so you could support APRS plus multiple voice channels.

This also puzzled me why AO-51 is continuously TX on? Why not configure it
like SO-50 only in TX when a carrier (with or without tone) is
detected on the uplink? If the purpose for the always on TX is for tracking
just make the squelch tail a bit longer.
