Has anyone used a K2 with Winlink 2000? Winlink 2000 is being pushed by ARRL for EmComm use and I'd like to experiment using it with my K2 especially with the SET coming up in October. Here in the MDC section the SET is geared around proving Winlink 2000 as a usable method for passing traffic from the field.
If anyone is working Winlink, please share any comments or suggestions, modems used, interface to K2, results, etc. Offlist may be more appropriate. I know little other than what I've read doing some web surfing and have not operated any digital mode on HF before. For those who haven't read about it, Winlink 2000 basically is standard email, but replaces the Internet connection with a radio link, primarily HF. The emails can contain certain preapproved (by design) attachment types like maps, lists, jpegs, etc. for EmComm use. You use a standard POP3-compliant email client and some special amateur software, and of course a radio. The K2 would seem to be perfect for portable operation in a disaster situation. Thanks ...
