I'd be interested in doing exactly this. Do you have any pointers how 
this could be done? How do the modules do the scrambling? Or do I need 
to do this by myself in software?
Also my understanding is that the RF modules only accept input data in 
byte format, not bitwise. Therefore in my understanding we'd need some 
non trivial conversion with overflow bits to implement AX25.

Not so much a problem for trackers. I'd be happy to get transmit 
working. There are plenty Hams out there with Kenwood radios or similar 
that could receive 9k6 GFSK.
