Re: Adding a second radio
Jack, Jim, et al -- The two approaches meet different needs. I use both, depending on what applications I am trying to support. If the applications you are trying to support require the Linux AX.25 stack, then Basil's scripts and setup are the better solution. This tends to be a lot of historical applications for Keyboard to Keyboard, BBS, IP over AX.25, AX.25 over IP, ... and can also support newer applications in the Winlink and APRS world. However, direwolf, in addition to being the modem can support many functions without the need for the Linux AX.25 stack. It can directly support digipeating, APRS®, Igating, beaconing (including GPS parsing), KISS, Network KISS/AGW, APRS® TouchTone™, and more. All via configuration in direwolf.conf with fewer 'moving parts'. I consider it a simpler approach, if it meets your needs. The choice is driven by application requirements and user preference.
