[aprssig] Satgate settings.

[gerheim at cox.net]

Generally suggest 145.825MHz.  Just leave it there, and you'll pick up all the 1200 baud satellites.  GO-32 is on 435.225 (nominal), not 435.325.  May have been a typo somewhere.  If you can't copy 9600 baud, it doesn't matter anyway.  

I'm beta testing a program, ASatLogger, by Bill Diaz, which (along with another $ tracking program) will allow you to swap between satellite and terrestrial APRS whenever a satellite goes overhead.  Very cool.  

It's still a bit rugged to operate.  
Stay tuned!
