[aprssig] Re: APRS for a near-Arctic hot-air balloon flight -- TinyTralk and OpenTrak 300 baud mode

I don't see why not.  This is for SSB operation, right?  I'd need a
reference with the relevant specs, and most importantly something to test it
with.  Does AGWPE handle this mode, or do any of the other soundcard modem
programs?
