data(sat): the plan checked against AMSAT's live lists
Every FM bird's uplink, downlink and tone compared against N9KT's Live FM Satellites table, and the image list beside it. Two corrections and ten additions: - AO-123 (ASRTU-1) had no CTCSS. Its 145.850 uplink wants 67.0 Hz, and without the tone the transponder simply does not answer. - SO-50 keeps 67.0 Hz, which is the tone that keys it, but its label now says 74.4 Hz arms the ten-minute timer first. That is a one-off two-second carrier, not a tone to key every transmission with, so it belongs where it will be read rather than in a field the radio would apply throughout. - Eight SSTV satellites added as receive-only entries, no uplink field at all, the way the ISS SSTV row was already written: HC1PX (GALAPAGOS-UTE-SWSU), RS18S (SakhaCube-Cholbon), RS27S (UTMN-2), RS38S (VIZARD-meteo), RS40S (UmKA-1), RS57S (Monitor-4), RS58S (Monitor-3), RS83S (Lobachevsky). SSTV downlinks also added to SONATE-2 (145.880, Martin M1) and QMR-KWT-2 (436.950, Robot 36), and the ISS row now names its mode. The NORAD numbers were read out of the element feed by name, not guessed: five of the eight are in it and carry an exact catalogue number, and the three that are not (HC1PX, RS18S, RS83S) are joined by name and alias instead, so they read as having no elements until a feed carries them rather than pointing an antenna somewhere arbitrary. AO-91 was left alone. The table shows no tone in its uplink cell but Fox-1B does require 67.0 Hz, so ours stands and the table is the incomplete one.
