Steve, I was unclear, I was not suggesting that 25w (or more) is not necessary - just that many Hams already have the RF power on their desks and in their cars - they need to rest of the

I agree, this is a new type of box on the market and the market will decide if it is embraced or not. One thing about the price though, lots of people seem to spend money in that price range for dual

David, Winlink has tried over the years to support all viable newtechnologies. This has included Pactor 1, 2,3, 4, WINMOR (which wasdeveloped by me for Winlink and provided to others free of

As I said in the other thread, the only thing that is really proprietary about Winlink 2000 is the support for any form of Pactor; they do support Linux via the Open Source community; they just don't

Winlink on Linux (RMS Gateway at this point) is open source and there is work progressing on an open implementation of the Winmor TNC. I also know that there is interest in an open source client

Now that APRS is available for HF, not to mention a dozen digital-mode apps, what is the value-added of the proprietary Winlink app? -- Thanks! & 73, KD4E.com David Colburn nevils-station.com I

This has probably been asked and answered but I could not find the thread ... Will there be a version of this which uses existing hardware? I find it very difficult to believe that we could get

Ha! I ment MPLS... To much wine tonight. N0FPF

So are you going to be adding routing and switching protocols to the base system? Which USRP are you adding? It is a widly used acronym. If you do VOIP, ROIP, maybe MSRP would be a good option too.

Steve, It could be done either way, though I would probably use the hsmm-mesh as the primary network transport and the UDR56K as whichever secondary system I happened to need. I'm even contemplating

Now there is an interesting question. How would you do MESH.. Add a WRT with the MESH software and just use the UDR56k in layer 2? Or do it in the UDR56K natively? Steve N0FPF

Regarding critical mass V.A.R.P.A is very interested in using the UDR56K to upgrade speed / capabilities of the packet network for the southern Vancouver Island area. A wireless mesh, using the

Bob, Point well taken. I have ordered a couple of the routers and will test them with 24db gain beams and perhaps with Rx/Tx amps on either end to see what may be the reliable distance at a

Thanks Bryan for your reply. I will reply more fully later tonight. Gary, good luck to you. I hope we are able to pull off a Puget Sound wide network. I recently moved to Bothell on the Snohomish

Hi Bob, Yes you are right about critical mass in an area, but let's talk first about the application. You mention it as a backup to repeaters, I don't see it that way at all. Repeaters handle voice,
