Finally got around to making this video, and it was really fun to do.
The ISS has an onboard APRS Digipeater that anyone with a licence can use to send packets from.
Today, the International space station had a great pass, so I got the FT3D with the Arrow 2 antenna, and filmed a small how to guide on digipeating packets off the ISS.

Freq used:145.825

Video on APRS for the FT3D:
