lab test using low power transmitter at 915 MHz to confirm signal reception and system gain (not an AX.25 signal, but close enough)
long range test using low power transmitter at 915 MHz to simulate predicted link budget (which comes from analysis) and confirm signal reception
acquire signal from orbiting cubesat operating on 915 MHz (NPS just launched two cubesats which use the same radio and configuration as SkyCube)
