          tasked to listen on 145.825 MHz (not always the case, but is
          true for most passes), it will decode and gate whatever it
          hears as VK5QI-3. </div>
        <div>It has only been running in this mode for about a week, and
          required me to do some mods to SatNOGS to make it work.
          Currently a bit of a battle to make sure the guys that task
          these ground stations understand that APRS is the most likely
          thing to be heard from the ISS. </div>
