Rob, EbNaut, LF,

Please do share details of how you modulate the 3325 for EbNaut. I
would like to try some experiments to see if I can transmit.

I am a long way from receiving capability as I think that is going
to take all new hardware and a very different approach to what I am
using now.

By the way Rob, your signal is strong here, seen and heard but of
course I have no way to decode it.

73,
Paul N1BUG
